- Off-site contamination enables the Contiguous Property Owner CERCLA defense—a critical legal protection.
- Vapor intrusion requires active mitigation (sub-slab depressurization) even when groundwater contamination is below MCLs.
- Asbestos and lead can be managed in place with O&M plans when not disturbed—abatement only at renovation/turnover.
- The combination of quantified costs, environmental insurance, and CERCLA defense made this a manageable risk profile.
