My impression is that the big argument against the Superfund status is that once given it the cleanup has to be coordinated by the EPA, and the city won't have control over the timing, and the EPA will be able to veto city rezoning plans.

Living close to the canal I'd love to see it cleaned up, but have no idea which of the two paths (city vs. epa superfund) would be the best option.
