Navigating site institutional controls

摘要

In an effort to promote national consistency in the use of institutional controls (ICs), the EPA has issued A Guide to Planning, Implementing, Maintaining, and Enforcing Institutional Controls at Contaminated Sites (implementation guide). This lengthy document was written primarily for EPA site managers and attorneys and is intended to apply to all EPA cleanup programs, including Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or Superfund); brownfields; federal facility; underground storage tank (UST); and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) site cleanups. As such, responsible parties in any site cleanup for which ICs are a possible route should keep the guide as a constant reference source.
