Questions to answer before the legal call
- What baseline reports or disclosures exist?
- Which materials are permitted for the actual use?
- Who investigates and remediates pre-existing or migrating conditions?
What to capture from the document

Record reports, disclosed conditions, reliance and knowledge qualifiers.
Operational covenant
