[jayjulvick]

texas, we are in the process of purchasing 49 acres, has old homestead with number of old barns on property, we noticed on a walk through that there are a number of barrels maked oil and a section block off that has unknown chemicals in barrels (we think it's fertilizer) but unknown. owner has never seen property, there has been a grazing lease on land for forty years. we would like a enviroment hazard test done on the property, before we go any further with purchase who is responsible for the cost of the test?
