goal.
Proprietary Control
A proprietary control is a private contractual mechanism contained in the deed or other document
transferring the property. Proprietary controls involve the placement of restrictions on land through the
use of easements, covenants, and reversionary interests. Easements, covenants, and reversionary
interests are nonpossessory interests. Nonpossessory interests give their holders the right to use or
restrict the use of the land, but not to possess it. This is in contrast to possessory controls interests in
which the holder may have the right to possess the land. State laws vary on the application and
enforcement of such restrictions.
Real Property
Real property consists of land, improvements, structures, and fixtures, and includes bodies of water.
Removal Action
The cleanup or removal of OE from the environment to include the disposal of removed materiel. The
term includes, in addition, without being limited to, security fencing or other measures to prevent,
minimize, or mitigate damage to the public health or welfare or to the environment. (ER 1110-1-8153)
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
Enacted in 1976, RCRA promotes the protection of health and the environment. It regulates waste
generation, treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal for facilities currently in operation. The OE
removal process is affected by RCRA if OE must be disposed off-site.
Response Action
Action taken instead of or in addition to a removal action to prevent or minimize the release of OE so
that it does not cause substantial danger to present or future public health or welfare or the environment.
