Comment on New EPA Guidance Broadens Tenant Protections at Brownfield Sites by carnosine eye drops

The tenancy interest that does not enjoy the BFPP protections of CERCLA is a tenant who leases from a potentially responsible party (PRP), has some site control but not enough to be a de facto owner, and who somehow “turns dirt” to a degree where that tenant could be liable as either an operator or transporter. This circumstance is likely to be the rule, rather than the exception, at many renewable energy Brownfield projects. In those situatiions, the tenant is basically just out of luck from a BFPP safe harbor standpoint, at least according to existing EPA Guidance.

I agree, but everyone needs to realize that adding Solar to their property is an asset that will boost the long term valuation of their building if / when they choose to sell. With the environment the way it is going we simply cannot dismiss any product that gives no cost energy at no cost to both the consumer and more significantly the environment!
