Cal. Civ. Code § 410-38-2-18
"Owner of the contaminated property" defined
Operative Text
Sec. 18. "Owner of the contaminated property" means either of the following: (1) A person having an ownership interest in the contaminated property. (2) An agent of a person having an ownership interest in the contaminated property.
Indiana regulation 410 IAC 38 § 410-38-2-18 establishes who qualifies as an 'owner of the contaminated property' under this regulatory framework. The definition covers two categories: anyone who holds an ownership interest in the affected property, and any agent acting on behalf of such an owner. This definitional provision shapes how responsibilities and obligations under the broader rule are assigned to parties connected to contaminated real estate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 410 IAC 38 § 410-38-2-18, property owners and their authorized agents—such as property managers or representatives—both fall within the definition of 'owner of the contaminated property.' Operators who delegate management responsibilities to agents should be aware that those agents may carry the same regulatory standing as the owner under this framework. Compliant operators generally maintain clear documentation of agency relationships and ensure that agents acting on their behalf understand the scope of obligations this classification may trigger.
