A new study concludes that more than 800 hazardous Superfund sites near the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are at risk of flooding in the next 20 years, even with low rates of sea level rise.  More than 1,000 of the sites overseen by the EPA will be at risk for flooding by 2100 if carbon emissions continue on their current trajectory, triggering high rates of sea level rise. - Inside Climate News Link
