2) False

Answer 1

After the passing of SARA in 1986, it was determined that landowners were responsible for environmental hazards or spills on property regardless of knowledge of such a defect.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the passing of SARA in 1986, it was determined that landowners were responsible for environmental hazards or spills on property regardless of knowledge of such a defect.

This statement is True. The passing of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) in 1986 imposed strict liability on landowners for environmental hazards or spills on their property, regardless of their knowledge of the defect. This means that landowners can be held legally responsible for any environmental harm caused on their property, even if they were not aware of the hazard.
