Subject: Institutional controls
 

Institutional controls usually create an actionable interest for those
neighboring land owners who stand to suffer direct losses by the abrogation of
the restriction and for the prior owner who created the restriction.

If the institutional controls were to create an actionable interest on the
part
of the general public for reasons of public health, then the restriction would
be enfoceable in a court of law by anyone who could demonstrate a threat to
public health.

On the matter of the loss of institutional memory, the ORR End Use Working
Group
developed the essentials of a long-term plan to avoid ths and the current
Stewadrship Working Group is refining these plans to aid DOE in developing a
robust ORR Long-Term Stewardship Plan.

The stewardship report of the first committee can be found at:

A progress report on the second committee can be found at:

The latter is a very rough draft which will be greatly modified.

The following pages give some of the background for the above:
