EnvironmentalIntermediateAlaska Exam

An Alaska seller is required to disclose which of the following environmental conditions?

AThe general geographic location of the property in relation to fault lines (unless specifically known)
BKnown, present environmental contamination on the propertyCorrect
CPotential future climate change impacts to the region
DThe presence of naturally occurring radon in the soil throughout Alaska

Why Known, present environmental contamination on the property Is Correct

Answer B: Known, present environmental contamination on the property

Sellers must disclose known, present environmental conditions that materially affect the property — such as documented contamination, existing leaking tanks, or confirmed hazardous conditions. General geographic risks (regional radon levels, fault line proximity) that are not specific to the property are typically not required to be individually disclosed.

Exam Tip: Environmental

Environmental questions test knowledge of hazards like asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, and mold. Know the disclosure requirements and when a professional inspection is required. CERCLA liability is strict, joint, and several.
