1、Designation: E 2091 05Standard Guide forUse of Activity and Use Limitations, Including Institutionaland Engineering Controls1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 2091; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision

2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONValuable property, which is, or is perceived to be, environmentally impacted, remains idlethroughout th

3、e fifty states because fears of liability and corrective action costs deter potentialdevelopers, purchasers, and lenders. In response, many states have adopted voluntary corrective actionor brownfields programs that utilize risk-based corrective action principles. One element of theseprograms may be

4、 activity and use limitations to achieve either an“ acceptable risk” or a “no significantrisk” level. For example, an owner/operator who volunteers to remediate a site to meet an industrialor commercial use standard may do so in exchange for a restrictive covenant that limits the use of thesite to i

5、ndustrial or commercial purposes only. Activity and use limitations should be considered anintegral part of the remedial action selection process. The user may determine, based uponpost-remedial action land use, or based upon the deficiencies in available activity and use limitations,that an activit

6、y and use limitation is not feasible for the site. The most effective use of activity and uselimitations as part of a federal, state, tribal or local remediation program requires careful considerationof many factors, including effectiveness, amenability to integration with property redevelopmentplan

7、s, implementability, technical practicability, cost prohibitiveness, long-term reliability, acceptabil-ity to stakeholders, and cost effectiveness. While this guidance is most likely to be applied whererisk-based corrective actions are conducted, use of activity and use limitations is not restricted

8、 torisk-based applications. Both institutional and engineering controls may be employed as elements ofa remedial action that is based on concentration level, background, or other non-risk-basedapproaches.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers information for incorporating activityand use limitations that are

9、 protective of human health and theenvironment into federal, state, tribal or local remediationprograms using a risk-based approach to corrective action.Activity and use limitations should be considered early in thesite assessment and remedial action selection process, andshould be considered an int

10、egral part of remedial actionselection. In the event that an appropriate activity and uselimitation cannot be found, the user may need to revisit theinitial remedial action selection decision.1.2 This guide does not mandate any one particular type ofactivity and use limitation but merely serves to h

11、elp usersidentify, implement and maintain the types of activity and uselimitations that may be appropriate in programs using arisk-based decision-making approach.1.3 This guide identifies screening and balancing criteriathat should be applied in determining whether any particularactivity and use lim

12、itation may be appropriate. This guideidentifies the need to develop long-term monitoring andstewardship plans to ensure the long-term reliability andenforceability of activity and use limitations. This guideexplains the purpose of activity and use limitations in theremedial action process and the t

13、ypes of activity and uselimitations that are most commonly available.1.4 This guide describes the process for evaluating poten-tially applicable activity and use limitations and using screen-ing and balancing criteria to select one or more activity and uselimitations for a specific site. The guide a

22、e, as many of the items included in thisguide may have specific regulatory definitions within existingfederal, state, tribal, or local programs. The following terms arebeing defined to reflect their specific use in this guide. Many ofthese definitions are taken directly from Guide E 2081. Theuser sh

23、ould not assume that these definitions replace existingregulatory definitions. Where the definition or use of a term inthis standard differs from an existing regulatory definition oruse, the user should address these differences prior to proceed-ing with the corrective action process.3.1.1 acceptabl

The easement was normally for the benefit ofadjoining lands, no matter who the owner was (an easementappurtenant), rather than for the benefit of a specific individual(easement
