토지양수인의 정화책임과 토양환경평가 = Land-Purchaser`s Liability for Cleaning up Contaminated Land and the Assessment of Soil Environment

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Brownfields Act and the AAI rule extends liability protection to prospective purchasers and innocent landowner. And the SECA bill, introduced by the Government and pending in National Assembly, exempts the land-purchaser who trusted the result of an assessment of soil environmnet from liability to clean-up. It is important to note that the AAI is not required only to environmental professionals, but also to the persons seeking to establish the innocent landowner defense or the bona fide prospective purchaser liability protection, and the AAI rule is just one of the many steps required for protection from liability. Additionally, to be afforded liability protection, one must perform other continuing obligations. In short, the SECA bill allows the land-purchaser`s liability protection more easily than the Brownfields Act. But, considering a level of assessment-related skill or experience, and the monetary incentives to false or fraudulent assessment, it is difficult to say that the assessment of soil environment is always accurate and faithful. Under this circumstances, exempting the land-purchaser who trusted the result of an assessment of soil environment from liability will go against the SECA` purpose, conservation of soil environment. I oppose exempting the land-purchaser from liability in the SECA bill. If Korea experiences a serious problem such as the brownfields problem in U. S., or the skills or experiences on the assessment of soil environment are accumulated sufficiently, we may have to restudy the issue of land-purchaser`s liability.
