On February 18, 2008 newly passed legislation regarding property limiting procedural requirements will take effect in Pennsylvania. The procedural requirements referred to as uniform environmental covenants (UECs) pertain to the limitations on access and/or use of a property due to engineering or institutional controls. These controls are applied as the result of an environmental remediation project to maintain specific cleanup standards. Examples of covenants include access restrictions, such as engineered caps and fences, or deed notices which have been used at many of Pennsylvania's voluntary cleanups using the Site Specific and Statewide Health Standards under Act 2.
