§ 9.195. Consumer protection.

 (a)  Groundwater contamination, flooding and surface collapse frequently cause property damage or create hazards to property owners in carbonate areas. The proper selection of development sites in carbonate terrain that recognize the natural conditions and potential environmental hazards may minimize existing problems and prevent the occurrence of new property damage or health hazards.

 (b)  It shall be the environmental policy of the Commonwealth to protect consumers and property owners in carbonate areas by requiring adequate disclosure of existing damages or potential hazards which are characteristically associated with carbonate terrain.
