EnvironmentalIntermediateArizona Exam

An Arizona residential property owner who learns their neighbor's property has significant soil contamination that may be migrating toward their property should:

AIgnore the contamination, since it originates on the neighbor's property
BConsult an environmental attorney and consider testing their own property, and potentially notify ADEQCorrect
CList the property for sale without disclosing the contamination, since ADEQ records are public
DTake no action until their own well water tests confirm the contamination has migrated

Why Consult an environmental attorney and consider testing their own property, and potentially notify ADEQ Is Correct

Answer B: Consult an environmental attorney and consider testing their own property, and potentially notify ADEQ

If contamination is migrating from a neighboring property, the homeowner should seek legal advice, consider environmental testing of their own property, and potentially notify ADEQ. Early action protects their interests and reduces future liability.

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.
