UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK LIABILITY Clause Samples

The Underground Storage Tank Liability clause defines the responsibilities and liabilities related to the presence, use, or removal of underground storage tanks on a property. Typically, this clause specifies which party—such as the buyer or seller—will be responsible for any environmental contamination, regulatory compliance, or remediation costs associated with these tanks. For example, it may require the seller to disclose the existence of tanks or to remediate any leaks prior to closing. The core function of this clause is to allocate risk and clarify obligations regarding potential environmental hazards, thereby protecting parties from unexpected liabilities.
