Develop a 10-year lead cleanup plan for existing cleanup sites
Not started
Printed page 432 13. Environmental Protection Agency
“Develop and execute a 10-year cleanup plan to address lead at all existing cleanup sites that includes benchmarks and milestones that allow for congressional and public oversight of the schedule.”
What has happened
- Not started
No 10-year lead cleanup plan exists. The FY 2026 Congressional Justification commits only that "EPA will accelerate the pace of residential lead cleanups to deliver results to communities sooner" — a sentence with no benchmarks, no milestones and no schedule for congressional or public oversight.

- One negative search covered the whole cluster of OLEM and Superfund asks on pp. 431-433.
- The commitment in EPA’s Congressional Justification is attached to the not started event so the adjacent action is visible; it is not the plan the Quote asks for.
