Superfund National Priorities List inclusion (status and HRS score shown above) is the EPA's formal designation that a contaminated site qualifies for long-term federal cleanup authority under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). A federal-facility classification means the site is owned or operated by a federal agency, which routes cleanup responsibility differently than a privately owned site.

"Construction Complete" (status shown above) is an EPA milestone marking that the physical remedy work is finished, not that the site has exited EPA oversight; long-term monitoring can continue afterward. Deletion from the NPL is a separate, later step the EPA takes only once it determines every planned response action is finished.

NPL listing is a cleanup-authority designation in the EPA record, not a quantitative health-risk score. HRS scores of 28.50 or above qualify a site for the NPL under the EPA screening model (toxicity, pathways, waste quantity, and affected population factors). For current site conditions and official community notices, see the EPA Regional Superfund profile and the North Carolina environmental agency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Camp Lejeune Military Reservation Superfund site? ▼
Camp Lejeune Military Reservation, in Onslow County, NC, sits toward the lower end of North Carolina's Hazard Ranking System scores (HRS 33.13, rank #34 of 42 scored sites) among the state's Superfund sites. A lower HRS rank within the state does not mean no cleanup obligation -- Superfund sites are contaminated locations identified by the EPA for long-term cleanup under CERCLA regardless of relative score.
What does NPL listing mean for Camp Lejeune Military Reservation? ▼
According to the EPA, National Priorities List (NPL) listing designates a site for long-term federal Superfund cleanup authority. It is a programmatic status in the Superfund Enterprise Management System, not a quantitative health-risk score for nearby residents.

Sites with a score of 28.50 or greater qualify for the NPL; the model weighs contaminant toxicity, waste quantity, release likelihood, and affected population, and is not a community health diagnosis.
What contaminants are at the Camp Lejeune Military Reservation site? ▼
The EPA public Superfund extract catalogs 174 contaminants at Camp Lejeune Military Reservation, documented through the remedial investigation process. Counts reflect listed records in that extract, not a complete inventory of every substance ever present.
