Liability of UST(petroleum) leak on adjacent property
I am in contract to buy a commercial property. I have been informed by the real estate agent that the adjacent property once had a underground storage tank (UST) that leaked(it has been removed). It is likely, I am told by an environmental engineer involved in the monitoring of the UST property, that the ''plume of contamination'' includes part of the land I am buying. Would I be liable for cleanup of my property if contaminated by the neighboring UST leak or would they be responsible?
