BY S. P.
SULLIVAN | nj advance MEDIANew Jersey has more places under the federal Superfund program than in any other state, which prioritizes the removal of hazardous contaminated sites.
Many have a more colorful history than oil slick: a violent chemical attack on mobs
Waste storage facilities.

The local wildlife turned green.
And there are only two websites listed on the super fund list.
While many of these sites have been cleaned up, they require long-term treatment and monitoring.
With the EPA cutting its blocked budget under the administration of Donald Trump, supporters are worried that the super fund will go backwards, which is close-
Out of stock for decades
\"Think about it: we have more than a hundred Superfund sites in this state.
We have 21 counties . \"
Jim frorio recently said he wrote the Superfund law in Congress in the 1980 s.
\"No one lives far away from these sites.
According to federal data, there are 115 active Superfund sites in New Jersey and 35 sites that have been removed from the project.
The super fund is also far from the state\'s only dangerous place.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection has listed more than 10,000 active sites identified as contaminated.
Let\'s take a look at the national organization county of superfundsswiss (
Mercer is the only county without a super fund website).
