The Love Canal disaster was instrumental in the creation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as the Superfund.

It also established a trust fund to finance remediation activities when responsible parties could not be identified or were unable to pay.
