What Does NCP Stand For?
NCP stands for National Contingency Plan Superfund
The National Contingency Plan Superfund (NCP) is a regulatory framework established under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) in the United States. It outlines the procedures and guidelines for responding to hazardous substance releases and oil spills, ensuring effective cleanup and remediation of contaminated sites. The NCP facilitates coordinated federal, state, and local responses to environmental emergencies and prioritizes the protection of public health and the environment while providing a structure for funding and resource allocation through the Superfund program.
