Glossary of Pollution Coverage

Contractor Pollution Liability (CPL): CPL provides third party Bodily Injury, Property Damage and Cleanup coverage for unintentional pollution caused by covered operations performed at job sites that are not owned or occupied by the named insured. CPL coverage usually ends once materials are moved beyond the boundaries of the job site. As the name implies, contractors of all types purchase this coverage (though it is often included in environmental consultants and laboratories professional liability policies). CPL may be written on either a claims made or occurrence form, depending on exposures.

Environmental Impairment Liability (EIL): See Site Specific Pollution Liability.

Pollution Legal Liability (PLL): See Site Specific Pollution Liability.

Professional Liability Including Pollution (PL/CPL): Professional Liability covers the named insured for errors and omissions in the rendering or failure to render professional services.  Professional Liability policies can include pollution, or in some cases Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL), and are written on a claims made basis.  See the CPL section of this document for more information concerning Contractors Pollution Liability.
