If on-site petroleum contamination on a brownfield site is not migrating, or does not have the potential to migrate off-site and the site is not located in a ubiquitous contaminated neighborhood, the off-site migration reopener in a voluntary cleanup agreement is not problematic.
However, on a typical brownfield site in an urban setting where adjacent properties might also be contaminated with petroleum, this reopener has the unintended effect of reversing the burden of proof onto the volunteer to prove that any off-site contamination discovered on an adjacent site is not coming from their property.
