All Appropriate Inquiries under CERCLA §7.36‌ The “all appropriate inquiries” (AAI) rule is CERCLA’s counterpart to a BEA conducted under Part 201. See 42 USC 9601. The requirements for conducing AAI are found at 40 CFR 312.2, which incorporates the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 1527–97 and the procedures of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 1527–00, both entitled “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessment: Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Process.” The AAI rule is discussed more fully in Chapter 8. In practice, compliance with Part 201’s BEA requirements will satisfy the AAI rule under CERCLA as the standards for completing AAI are similar to the standards for preparing BEA. In addition, DNRE and EPA have a Memorandum of Understanding in place that implies that EPA will not take enforcement action against an owner or operator who complies with Part 201’s BEA and Section 20107a due care requirements. In order to obtain liability protection under CERCLA, in addition to performing AAI, a buyer must be a “bona fide prospective purchaser” and enter into a prospective purchaser agreement with the EPA. In order to qualify as a bona fide prospective purchaser, a buyer must: (i) not have caused contamination on the property; (ii) performed all appropriate inquiries into the past uses of the property; (iii) undertake due care activities; and (iv) cooperate with those responsible to conduct response activities. 42 USC 9601. A bona fide prospective purchaser cannot be affiliated with any other person that is potentially liable for conducting response costs. Compliance with Part 201’s BEA requirements generally alleviates the need to enter into a prospective purchaser agreement with EPA. 42 USC 9601. Appendix -- Forms‌
