Which contamination leads already have a government notice

The questions your team needs answered
Every cercla superfund and brownfields intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the property or contamination issue located in the United States or a U.S. territory? | CERCLA and most state brownfield programs only apply within U.S. jurisdiction, so a 'no' answer flags a matter the firm likely cannot take. |
| Are you an owner, buyer, seller, tenant, lender, developer, or neighbor of the property involved? | Liability under CERCLA depends heavily on the caller's legal relationship to the property, so this answer determines which theory of the case even applies. |
| Do you have reason to believe there is contamination on the property (for example, from past industrial use, dumping, spills, or a cleanup notice)? | Confirmed or suspected contamination is the baseline fact that makes this a Superfund/brownfields matter rather than a general property question. |
| Has a government agency (EPA or state/local) contacted you, inspected, issued a notice/letter, or required testing or cleanup related to this site? | Agency contact, inspection, or a cleanup notice usually means the matter is already active and time-sensitive, warranting priority review. |
| Have you already paid, or been asked to pay, for environmental testing, cleanup, or related costs for this property? | Money already spent on testing or cleanup signals real financial exposure and a caller more likely to retain counsel promptly. |
| Do you know or can you identify a likely source of the contamination (such as a current or former business, owner, operator, or waste hauler)? | Being able to name a likely responsible party materially changes whether the matter is a cost-recovery case or a defense case. |
| Is your main goal to handle liability or costs related to contamination (such as defending a claim, recovering costs, or getting help to redevelop a contaminated site)? | Confirming the caller's actual goal — liability defense, cost recovery, or redevelopment help — keeps unrelated environmental questions out of the consultation queue. |

Built for cercla superfund and brownfields workflows
| Cliont capability | CERCLA Superfund And Brownfields application |
|---|---|
| Conditional question logic | If the property isn't in the U.S. or a territory, the intake can shorten the remaining questions rather than walking the caller through a full CERCLA liability screen. |
| Weighted scoring engine | Government notices, prior testing or cleanup payments, and known responsible parties are each weighted heavily, so a lead with an EPA letter and paid Phase II costs surfaces well ahead of a speculative inquiry. |
| Document and evidence upload | Callers can attach EPA or state notices, Phase I/II reports, and correspondence with prior owners directly to the intake instead of describing them by phone. |
| CRM routing with structured fields | Each submission arrives in the CRM already tagged with the caller's relationship to the property (owner, lender, neighbor, tenant) so intake staff aren't re-asking basic case-type questions. |
Common cercla superfund and brownfields lead scenarios
Buyer flags contamination during due diligence
A prospective buyer suspects prior industrial use and wants to know their exposure before closing; the intake captures the relationship to the property and any known contamination signals up front.
Owner receives a PRP letter from EPA
A property owner has been named a potentially responsible party and has already paid for testing; these answers push the lead straight to the top of the queue.
Neighbor pursuing cost recovery
A neighboring landowner believes a nearby facility caused the contamination and wants help identifying the responsible party and recovering cleanup costs.
Property outside U.S. jurisdiction
A caller describes contamination on a site located outside the United States or its territories; the intake surfaces this early so the firm can route or decline without a wasted call.
Tenant asked to share cleanup costs
A commercial tenant has been asked by a landlord to contribute to remediation expenses and wants to understand liability before agreeing to pay anything further.

CERCLA Superfund and Brownfields lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle contamination sites outside the U.S.?
The first question confirms whether the property or contamination issue is located in the United States or a U.S. territory, since CERCLA and most state cleanup programs don't apply otherwise; a 'no' answer is weighted low so those enquiries don't consume consultation time.
Can the intake tell the difference between an owner, a lender, and a neighbor?
Yes — the intake asks directly whether the person is an owner, buyer, seller, tenant, lender, developer, or neighbor of the property, so the firm can see the caller's legal relationship to the site before any conversation happens.
What counts as a government notice for scoring purposes?
The intake asks whether EPA or a state or local agency has contacted the caller, inspected the site, issued a notice or letter, or required testing or cleanup — any of those triggers a high-weight signal because it usually means the matter is already live.
Does the intake capture whether someone has already paid for cleanup or testing?
Yes, one question asks whether the caller has already paid, or been asked to pay, for environmental testing or cleanup costs — this is weighted heavily since it often signals real financial exposure and urgency.
How does the intake handle leads who don't yet know who caused the contamination?
The catalog asks whether the caller can identify a likely source, such as a former business or waste hauler, but a 'no' answer still carries meaningful weight so early-stage cost-recovery matters aren't screened out.
What if the caller just wants general environmental advice, not a liability or cost matter?
The intake asks directly whether the caller's main goal is handling liability, costs, or redevelopment related to contamination — answers outside that scope score lower so the firm can see it's likely a different type of enquiry.
