Perris wants to develop a shopping center in town and is interested in developing the center at the location of an old dump. Perris can purchase the property cheaply, and it is near one of the fastest growing areas of the city. A concern, however, centers on being held liable for all cleanup costs. Perris has heard about federal and state funds that may be available; but worries that purchase of the property knowing that contamination is likely there, will make it ineligible to participate in government assistance programs for cleanup.
