Abstract
 Facilitating Information Exchange for the Mapping of Institutional Controls Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Larry Zaragoza, Michael Bellot, Kevin Kirby While institutional controls (e.g., zoning, permits, and easements) provide an effective tool to prevent exposure to residual contamination, states and others have asserted that the absence of data standards for institutional controls has impeded the exchange of institutional controls data among the government agencies and other parties involved. In January 2006, the Institutional Controls Data Standard was adopted under the Environmental Information Exchange Network, which represents EPA, states, and tribes. The standard references a technical specification for GIS information, which is based on Federal Geographic Data Committee standards. As the Institutional Controls Data Standard is used to support data exchange, the exchange of information among EPA, states, tribes, local government, and others should be facilitated.
