A farmer owns farmland in a rural county. On a portion of the farmland, the farmer once ran a crop-dusting operation, including underground storage containers for pesticides and fuel, a hangar for the crop-dusting airplane, and a landing strip. The farmer decides to sell the portion of the farmland once used for the crop-dusting operation. A buyer is interested in purchasing the parcel and does all the necessary due diligence. Through this due diligence, the buyer learns that: (1) an employee-pilot was killed on the parcel when attempting to land a crop-dusting plane; (2) an underground fuel-storage tank once had a leak and contaminated the ground; (3) the crop-dusting business was once sued for use of a now-banned pesticide; and (4) the farmer grows corn on the farmland next to the leaky underground fuel-storage tank. Which of these four matters is most likely to discourage the buyer from purchasing the parcel?
