Superfund Projects
TEPA also monitors superfund and brownfield areas that are historically contaminated sites resulting in dilapidated structures containing both lead based paint and asbestos and past industrial activities such as logging, and mills that prevent the ability for reuse and redevelopment of the property.
Two sites within the Hoopa Valley Reservation are listed on the Superfund National Priority List.
