Explanation
CERCLA (Superfund) established a federal program and trust fund for cleaning up hazardous waste sites that pose public health risks. Delaware has multiple Superfund sites. Proximity to a Superfund site can reduce property values, affect lending, and create potential buyer liability. Phase I and II ESAs help assess risk before purchasing commercial property.
