Environmental Hazards Clause Samples

The Environmental Hazards clause defines the responsibilities and liabilities of parties regarding the presence, handling, or discovery of hazardous materials or environmental contaminants on a property. Typically, this clause outlines which party is responsible for identifying, disclosing, and remediating substances such as asbestos, lead paint, or underground storage tanks. It may also specify procedures for notification and remediation if hazards are found during a transaction or occupancy. The core function of this clause is to allocate risk and ensure compliance with environmental laws, thereby protecting parties from unforeseen liabilities and ensuring a safe environment.
