Explanation
An institutional control through a deed restriction limits a contaminated property's use in ways that protect health and safety—for example, restricting a remediated industrial site to commercial/industrial use only (no residential), or prohibiting installation of groundwater wells. Illinois EPA may require these controls as part of the Site Remediation Program when cleanup achieves 'tiered approach' standards that allow residual contamination to remain under certain use conditions.
