Seems like enforcement is lacking, or why else there is this

Most of those sites predate modern environmental law.

Most hazardous waste isn’t related to superfund-type sites.

Fast food places produce grease. Gas stations have lots of small to medium size spills. Agriculture produces toxic runoff. Etc.

Compliance can definitely suck, especially when it comes to small, non-obvious producers - like a mom and pop diner.

I don’t know if there are “mom and pop” satellite launchers.

I suspect satellite management is an easier industry to regulate.

Look at how many of those sites are formal military bases. If the gov’t won’t hold themselves accountable, why would you expect them to hold a private company responsible?
