Answer B: A material fact that could affect the property's value and the buyer's decision to purchase

The presence — and especially any leaking history — of an underground storage tank (UST) is a material environmental fact that must be disclosed by an Arizona seller. USTs can cause significant soil and groundwater contamination liability regardless of current use.

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.
