This session will explore how the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) and RCRAInfo are used to track information on institutional controls. SEMS (a replacement of the old CERCLIS database) has been updated to include more relevant IC data fields and is now easier for regional attorneys and informational management coordinators to use. The SEMS IC module now better streamlines the information gathered and improves data consistency by categorizing IC criteria in accordance with the PIME guidance document. This session will also discuss the pilot program to map site, ICs, and Area of Limited Use boundaries using "Cleanups in My Community," which will refer users to site specific information including the Site Profile Page, site contacts, and actual IC instruments. Finally, this session will involve a discussion on Region 3's use of Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, web mapping, and RCRAInfo to track and monitor Ics at corrective action facilities.
