What Does CERCLIS Stand For?
CERCLIS stands for Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Information System
The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Information System (CERCLIS) is a database managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that tracks sites contaminated with hazardous substances. It provides detailed information on the status of cleanup activities, legal liabilities, and financial assurance related to Superfund sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). CERCLIS serves as a critical resource for federal, state, and local agencies, as well as for the public, by enhancing transparency and facilitating informed decision-making regarding environmental remediation efforts.
