Explanation
Oregon's Environmental Cleanup Law (ORS 465) establishes a state Superfund-type program for contaminated sites and can hold property owners, former owners, operators, and arrangers liable for cleanup costs. CERCLA at the federal level provides similar liability frameworks. Buyers of commercial properties typically conduct Phase I (and Phase II if needed) ESAs before purchase to understand environmental risks.
