I usually receive multiple newsgroup responses for a single topic during
the day.  To control some of the more popular email discussion topics I've
decided to group 3-5 messages into one outgoing email.  Hopefully this will
provide more continuity as well. If you have any constructive feedback
about this approach please free to email me.

BOB:  

Could you tell me how to learn more about the ICMA  preliminary 
analysis of institutional controls?  

In Wisconsin, the Dept of Natural Resources is proposing to set up a 
GIS system to track contaminated sites and phase out most of the 
institutional controls that exist in regulations.

thank you for your help.

Responding to Bob Paterson...

	Yes - I'm Principal Investigator on a study for HUD that is looking at
a number of issues related to state VCPs and development policies and
their effects on brownfield redevelopment rates; among the iissues we
are examining is the impact of different institutional controls; we're
due to be done with our work in the Fall.
	I've also done work on the appraisal industry's valuation of
brownfields and their tendency to downgrade the value of previously
contaminated sites that carry any institutional controls. They seem to
assume that any constraint on future land use undermines property value
-- perhaps because such controls tend to be imposed on cleanups that do
not return sites of "background" levels of pollutants (and thus those
sites are more exposed to possible future environmental liabilities).
	I don't have enough data from the HUD study yet to say if the
assumptions of the appraisers are borne out by the developers'
behaviors, but we should be able to comment on that eventually. 
	Bob, what are you doing in this arena, and how do our lines of effort
relate (if they do?) ... if you hear from others off CPEO, perhaps you
can link us up!

I am negotiating (as opposed to evaluating) institutional controls with
individual landowners that abut a Superfund site.
