Implementing Institutional Controls at Brownfields and Other Contaminated Sites
Amy L. Edwards, Editor
2003 American Bar Association (1st Edition)

As the use of institutional controls as a remedy at contaminated sites has gone from a novel approach to mainstream, Amy Edwards has compiled the first comprehensive look at this issue. Her treatise is extremely well written and addresses the issue from federal, state, program-specific (i.e. CERCLA and RCRA corrective action cleanups) perspectives, as well as cutting-edge applications and programs proposed in the market place. A great tool for stakeholders requiring a comprehensive look at this topic.
