Laboratory for Energy-Related Health Research Superfund Site

The Laboratory for Energy-Related Health Research Superfund Site encompasses a 15-acre area that includes a former research facility for low-level radioactive studies and several landfills for campus waste of University of California, Davis (UCD). Currently, the site is undergoing cleanup processes by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA, also known as Superfund).[1] Site cleanup was jointly operated by the Department of Energy (USDOE) and the University of California, Davis (UCD), under an agreement negotiated among the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, and the University of California.[2]
