I found this book to be very interesting despite the fact that it was written over 10 years ago. The discussion of the politics/strategies employed by the individual EPA regions was particularly fascinating. It covers the frustrations of dealing with Region V, the bean counting game, and other facets of Superfund work that you may have discussed with coworkers but rarely find mentioned in books. It consists largely of case studies for sites that have approved RODs. My main frustration with the book was it did not provide a reference list so you could check to see which environmental contractors were involved in each site. I think this book will be most useful to those already working in the environmental field, as it may be hard to follow for those new to Superfund. I felt I had to review this book as the only other review was by someone who couldn't really appreciate it.

This book was excessively boring and tedious with implementation strategies.I should know bc one of the authors is my teacher and he is the exact same way.do not read this book
