What Does NPL Stand For?
NPL stands for National Priorities List
The National Priorities List (NPL) is a published list by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that identifies the most hazardous waste sites in the country. These sites are prioritized for federal cleanup under the Superfund program, focusing on areas that pose significant risks to public health and the environment. The NPL serves as a critical tool in directing resources and funding to remediate contaminated sites, ensuring the protection of human health and the restoration of ecosystems.
