Institutional Controls

Restrictions on future use of a site may be required to meet remediation levels that present no unacceptable risk to human health and/or the environment. Institutional controls are legal or contractual restrictions on property use that remain effective after remediation is completed and are used to satisfy remediation levels. The certificate of satisfactory completion of remediation is contingent on any proposed institutional controls being recorded as deed restrictions. These deed restrictions "run with the land" and would apply to future owners as well.

The Completed Sites Report lists sites that have been issued a certificate and the institutional controls that have been recorded for those sites. The institutional controls are keyed as follows:

GW - Groundwater use restrictions have been recorded

RES - Residential use restrictions have been recorded

EX - Restrictions on excavation below the land surface have been recorded

OTHER - Other restrictions on land use have been recorded

NONE - No restrictions have been recorded

The Land Use Control Web Ring links together Web pages and data from federal, state, and local governments as well as researchers, non-profits and others addressing land use control issues.
