Description

The Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser Defense in CERCLA: A Guide For Lawyers 2nd Edition David Lee Guevara ISBN 9781639050567

CERCLA presents a major hurdle to redeveloping brownfield sites because parties can be held responsible for the full cost of cleanup—even if they purchased the property after contamination occurred or were otherwise innocent. As a result, many developers have steered clear of the approximately 450,000 brownfield sites across the United States.

The Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser Defense: A Guide for Lawyers, Second Edition consolidates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s guidance documents and provides in-depth analysis of key judicial decisions interpreting the Brownfields Amendments. This comprehensive resource equips practitioners with the tools needed to advise clients navigating contaminated property transactions. Even seasoned attorneys will benefit from the book, as the legal issues and strategic considerations in these transactions continue to evolve.

Chapters include:

  • CERCLA and the bona fide prospective purchaser

  • Disposal prior to acquisition

  • Legally required notices

  • Land-use restrictions and institutional controls

  • Subpoenas and information requests
