Environmental law states that unless all appropriate inquiries have been done the potential buyers may be responsible for existing contamination on the land, whether they created it or not. When you need a Phase I, II, or III Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), soil or groundwater assessment, remediation, and risk assessments, Westward’s team of professionals stand ready to assist.
