In order for facility owners or operators to assert an innocent landowner defense to liability under 33 U.S.C. 2703 (d)(4) of the Oil Pollution Act (OPA 90), they must show that all appropriate inquiries, as promulgated in 33 CFR 137, were conducted before acquisition of the facility. These inquiries are conducted to establish that they did not know nor had reason to know of the presence of oil at the facility before acquisition and include, but are not limited to, interviews with current and previous owners and operators, review of documentation specific to the facility and adjoining properties, and site inspections. A report is required to document the findings of the all appropriate inquiries.
