California Regional Water Quality Control Board
http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/
The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) was created by the Legislature in 1967. The joint authority of water allocation and water quality protection enables the State Water Board to provide comprehensive protection for California's waters. There are nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Boards). The mission of the Regional Boards is to develop and enforce water quality objectives and implementation plans that will best protect the State's waters, recognizing local differences in climate, topography, geology and hydrology. RWQCB offers several online resources that were developed as community outreach tools, including GeoTracker, an online database for groundwater issues; Region 9 Public Record, including all documents sent or received by the San Diego RWQCB; and Region 9 Public Notices, including public notices and agendas for upcoming San Diego RWQCB meetings.
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
http://www.epa.gov/superfund/policy/cercla.htm
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund, was enacted by Congress on December 11, 1980. This law created a tax on the chemical and petroleum industries and provided broad Federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health or the environment. Over five years, $1.6 billion was collected and the tax went to a trust fund for cleaning up abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites.

Defense Environmental Restoration Program

Through the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), DoD cleans up the environment on our active installations, installations subject to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), and formerly used defense sites (FUDS).

The Army oversees the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) execution of the FUDS program, which addresses cleanup of properties that were once owned or used by DoD. The Office of the Secretary of Defense, through the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment), provides program guidance and management oversight for DERP.
