Pennsylvania's 'Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act' (ECRA, predecessor to Act 2) required environmental assessment before sale of certain properties. Act 2 replaced it with:
AA more stringent pre-sale assessment requirement for all properties
BA voluntary cleanup program with liability protection and multiple cleanup standards✓ Correct
CA mandatory state-run cleanup program
DNo environmental cleanup requirements for commercial properties
Explanation
Pennsylvania's Act 2 (1995) replaced ECRA's mandatory pre-transfer assessment with a voluntary cleanup program. Responsible parties can voluntarily remediate contaminated properties using tiered cleanup standards (background, statewide health, site-specific), receive Act 2 liability releases, and facilitate property transfers without mandatory pre-sale assessment.
