Sarah Brenchley: 7:59am Nov 21, 2005: Environmental Context - This is from a computer text which aims to assess how some form of project or activity (e.g. mining) will affect the environment.
It does not necessarily mean affect negatively, which is why I was to avoid the word damages if possible.

environmental liabilities
Explanation:


Who will be responsible for any contamination of raw water supplies?
Who will be responsible for the satisfactory disposal of sewage and sludge?
Who will be responsible for past liabilities relating to the operation of the water and sewerage services?
Who will be responsible for any environmental liabilities attached to the assets to be transferred?
If when the assets are transferred, operating practices cannot immediately be altered—as is often the case with such assets—who will be responsible for liabilities arising from such practices? Is an "environmental holiday" appropriate?
