Overview of SARA
 
In October 1986, Congress passed the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), which made changes to CERCLA.  An important provision of SARA included federal facilities in the Superfund process.  The Department of Defense set up the Defense Environmental Restoration Account (DERA) to fund studies and cleanups at military installations.
