Institutional controls are often implemented to prevent or control exposures to residual contamination at brownfields and other contaminated sites. They are designed to ensure that the postremediation use of the affected property is compatible with the level of cleanup. To ensure the integrity of institutional controls and the protections they provide to human and ecological receptors, environmental professionals, utilities, government agencies, lenders, developers, and other stakeholders need a readily available system of tracking and monitoring institutional controls. This article presents the minimum data elements for an effective institutional controls tracking system that can be used by public and/or private entities responsible for maintaining and enforcing institutional controls. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
