Making polluters pay for the damage they cause isn’t radical. The federal Superfund law has been notching up successes for decades.

The EPA chief hasn't done much to protect the environment, so he's claiming the former president's accomplishments as his own.

Harvey flooded many Superfund sites. Irma likely will, too. And yet, EPA chief Scott Pruitt has cut climate change preparedness for such sites.

A proposed 25 percent cut to the Superfund budget would bring the cleanup program to a halt, but it's Scott Pruitt's close relationship with polluters that has experts even more worried.
