In Alaska, a licensee who represents a buyer purchasing property near a Superfund site should advise the buyer to:

AProceed with the purchase since the cleanup is already funded, in general
BConduct appropriate environmental due diligence including a Phase I ESACorrect
CAvoid the property entirely without investigation
DContact the EPA directly without professional assistance

Why Conduct appropriate environmental due diligence including a Phase I ESA Is Correct

Answer B: Conduct appropriate environmental due diligence including a Phase I ESA

A buyer purchasing property near a Superfund site should conduct a Phase I ESA (and possibly Phase II if RECs are found) to determine whether the subject property itself has been contaminated. Proximity to a Superfund site is a recognized environmental condition warranting investigation.

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.
