Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)
A forum for discussion and exchange of information between agencies and the affected communities.
RABs provide an opportunity for stakeholders to have a voice and actively participate in the review of
technical documents, to review restoration progress, and to provide individual advice to decision
makers regarding restoration activities. (ER 1110-1-8153)
Reversionary Interest
A reversionary interest places a condition on the transferee's right to own and occupy the land. If the
condition is violated, the property is returned to the original owner or the owner's successors. Each
owner in the chain of title must comply with the conditions placed on the property. If the condition is
violated the property can revert to the original owner, even if there have been several transfers in the
chain of title.
Siting Restrictions
Siting restrictions control land use in areas subject to natural hazards, such as earthquakes, fires, or
floods. Such restrictions are created through statutory authority to require that states implement and
enforce certain land use controls as well as through local ordinances.
Stakeholder
Stakeholders include federal, state, and local officials, community organizations, property owners, and
others having a personal interest or involvement, or having a monetary or commercial involvement in the
real property which is to undergo an OE response action.
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization (SARA)
Enacted in 1986, this legislation establishes standards for cleanup activities, requires federal facility
compliance with CERCLA, and clarifies public involvement requirements.
Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)
Military munitions that have been primed, fuzed, armed, or otherwise prepared for action, and have
been fired, dropped, launched, projected or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to
operations, installation, personnel, or material and remain unexploded either by malfunction, design, or
any other cause. (40 CFR 266.201)
Zoning
Zoning is a use restriction imposed through the local zoning or land use planning authority. Such
restrictions can limit the access and prohibit disturbance of the remedy. Zoning authority does not exist
in every jurisdiction.
