4-3. Other Tools to Aid in the Development of an Institutional Control Program.
a. Land Use Matrix. The Future Land Use Working Group has developed a land use matrix
tool to aid in identifying and resolving complex issues related to restoration and reuse of contaminated
sites. This tool has been developed to aid in building consensus among various stakeholders regarding
the need for and level of institutional controls at a contaminated site. While the land use matrix was
developed specifically for BRAC sites, it can also be used at any site where institutional controls are
being proposed. By laying out the potential alternatives in matrix form, all parties can see the cost,
benefit, and potential results of combinations of various remedial and institutional control alternatives.
Table 4.2 lists the six elements of the basic matrix, which may be adapted to address site-specific
conditions.
b. Land Use Classification Schemes. Another tool that is available to help define the level and
extent of institutional controls is a land use classification scheme. A land use classification scheme
identifies areas that are contaminated with OE and places use restrictions on those areas in accordance
with the level of OE contamination. In addition to being a tool in the development of an institutional
control plan, once a land use classification scheme has been developed it may also become a part of the
program.
