BACKGROUND: As many of you know Land Use Controls or Institutional
Controls are increasingly being used before, during, and in many cases
after cleanup has occurred at federal facility sites.  Many questions
surround the use of such controls, such as their long-term effectiveness 
in protecting human health and safety, who is responsible for 
maintaining and enforcement of such controls-physical and
administrative, whose responsible for funding, what is the legal
liability, are Land Use Controls just short-term fixes that have serious 
long-term ramifications, when are Land Use Controls appropriate?

These are just some of the questions we will be discussing during these
two forums.  At the San Francisco forum we hope to begin to forge a Land 
Use Controls agenda, based upon participant recommendations, that we 
will then take to the east coast forum for further development and
refinement.

Please join us in San Francisco in February of 2000 for the first of
these forums.  There is no fee for this forum and your participation
will help to ensure that a diverse set of viewpoints is represented.
