NAAG's Long-Term Stewardship Projects and Activities Products
NAAG is working on a state-by-state analysis of statutory and common law in each of the states, designed to evaluate whether existing mechanisms could be used to impose effective and enforceable institutional controls. The handbook will include a general discussion of the common law in this area, the state-by-state breakdown- charts and textual material- and probably a discussion of the legal issues surrounding transfer of federal properties. In-Depth Analysis of State Authorities for Institutional Controls In conjunction with ELI, NAAG is working on a detailed review of legal authorities and processes that govern institutional controls at three sites. The ELI analysis will be a detailed investigation of the state laws that affect land-use restrictions at the sites. For instance, the analysis will look at zoning laws, state laws related to building codes, groundwater laws, public health laws, and mining laws that might be used to restrict certain types of uses. NAAG expects to contribute state law research and analysis, descriptions of environmental regulation by the state and general review of other facets of the in-depth analysis. Review of Barriers to Federal Transfer of Land-Use Rights NAAG expects to produce legal research related to the legal and policy issues on this point, but has not decided what format to use for making the research available to the larger community. There may be a published colloquium, a law review style paper, or possibly a conference among the various knowledgeable parties.
NAAG engages in continuing communication and coordination activities with the Department and other non-governmental organizations, including other state organizations. The activities- meetings, exchange of documents, conference calls, and so forth- include long-term stewardship issues as they arise.
