AOnly disclose the tanks but are not required to remediate
BRegister, monitor, and properly close USTs, and remediate any associated contaminationCorrect
CFill the tanks with concrete and leave them in place
DTransfer liability to the state environmental fund immediately, under standard practice

Why Register, monitor, and properly close USTs, and remediate any associated contamination Is Correct

Answer B: Register, monitor, and properly close USTs, and remediate any associated contamination

Colorado's UST regulations (administered by CDPHE) require tank owners to register tanks, implement leak detection, and properly close tanks. If contamination is discovered, owners must remediate in accordance with state standards.

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.
