a neighbor to walk across your land to get to the beach. The neighbor's land, the holder of the
easement, benefits by having beach access through your land. An easement "in gross" benefits an
individual or company. For example, allowing the utility company to come on your land to lay a gas
line. The utility company, the holder of the easement, benefits by having use of the land to lay the gas
line. An affirmative easement allows the holder to use another person's land in a way that, without the
easement, would be unlawful - for example, allowing a use that would otherwise be a trespass. A
negative easement prohibits a lawful use of land - for example, creating a restriction on the type and
amount of development of land.
Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA)
An EE/CA is prepared for all non-time-critical removal actions as required by Section 300.415(b)(4)(i)
of the NCP. The goals of the EE/CA are to identify the extent of a hazard, to identify the objectives of
the removal action, and to analyze the various alternatives that may be used to satisfy these objectives
for cost, effectiveness, and implementability.
Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS)
FUDS includes those properties previously owned, leased, or otherwise possessed by the U.S. and
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Defense; or manufacturing facilities for which real property
accountability rested with DOD but were operated by contractors (Government owned - contractor
operated) and which were later legally disposed of. FUDS is a subprogram of the DERP. Restoration
of military land was extended to formerly used sites in 1983 under Public Law 98-212 (DOD
Appropriations Act of FY84).
Government Control
Government controls are restrictions that are within the traditional police powers of state and local
governments to impose and enforce. Permit programs and planning and zoning limits on land use are
examples of government controls.
Institutional Controls
Institutional controls consist of legal, physical, or educational mechanisms that limit the access or use of
a property, or warn of the hazard in order to protect property users and the public from existing site
contamination that continues to be present at a site during use.
Information Repository
A repository, generally located at libraries or other publicly accessible locations, which contains
documents reflecting the on-going environmental restoration activities. This may include the EE/CA,
CRP, RAB meeting minutes, public notices, public comments and responses to those comments, etc.
