A Connecticut seller is transferring a commercial property that previously housed a furniture manufacturing plant. The seller's licensed environmental professional has investigated the site and determined that the property qualifies as a Transfer Act establishment. The LEP has also determined that contamination exists and that active remediation will be required. The seller and buyer have agreed that the buyer will take on responsibility for the remediation after closing. Which Transfer Act form must be filed to document this arrangement?

Correct Answer

D) Form II, because the property is an establishment requiring post-transfer remediation with the buyer as the designated responsible party

Form II is the correct filing when a Connecticut Transfer Act establishment has known contamination and the parties have agreed that remediation will occur after the transfer. A Form II includes a Transfer Act compliance plan that identifies the responsible party — in this case, the buyer — and establishes the framework for post-transfer remediation. The fact that the buyer (rather than the seller) is designated as the responsible party is permissible under the Act; the key requirement is that the responsible party be clearly identified in the Form II.

Answer Options
A
Form I, because the LEP has completed the site investigation prior to transfer
B
Form III, because the seller is transferring all environmental liability to the buyer at closing
C
Both Form I and Form II must be filed simultaneously to document the investigation and the remediation plan
D
Form II, because the property is an establishment requiring post-transfer remediation with the buyer as the designated responsible party
