Prevention & Response Branch - Removal Site Team

The Superfund Removal Site Team is a unique group that plays a key role in protecting citizens against immediate and time critical environmental and health threats from hazardous substances wherever and whenever they occur, 24 hours a day. 

Fires, explosions, contaminated drinking water, and toxic fumes - these are just some of the time-critical situations the Superfund Removal Site Team confronts every day. The strength of the program lies in its ability to mobilize expertise and resources immediately to respond to environmental and health threats. 

By moving quickly to clean up or remove the threats, lives are protected, the environment is protected AND there is greater opportunity for sites to be returned to the community for redevelopment.  Working together with local and state emergency response teams is also critical for success.  The Removal Site Team may be contacted at (214) 665-2270.
