Creating The Environmental Baseline; All Appropriate Inquiry Clause Samples

Creating The Environmental Baseline; All Appropriate Inquiry. It is customary for a buyer of real property to engage a qualified environmental consultant to complete a “Phase I” environmental assessment of the property prior to acquisition, in order to qualify for certain defenses to environmental liability under the law in connection with hazardous materials that may be located at the property under the “all appropriate inquiry” standard (also sometimes referred to as the “innocent purchaser” defense). The consultant performs various research of public record and interview of key personnel in order to determine the prior history of hazardous materials in and around the property, and presents its analysis, conclusions and recommendations in the Phase I Report, along with certain certifications required to qualify for protection under the law.
