Environmental Covenant Template
If you are taking corrective action to manage a release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents, you may need to create an Environmental Covenant to give notice to future owners that your land has been impacted by hazardous waste and to impose land use limitations to protect human health and the environment.
This template includes language in brackets [ ] and braces { }. Often this language is italicized. Replace this language with wording that describes your specific situation. Delete the brackets and braces.
If you delete a significant paragraph from the template and do not replace it with language specific to your situation, when you submit your draft Environmental Covenant to the Division Director, please identify in writing the paragraph you deleted and your reasons for removing it. For example, if you delete the paragraph captioned "Notice on Conveyance," please identify that paragraph and explain why you think it is appropriate for your Environmental Covenant not to include that provision.
When you complete your draft Environmental Covenant, please submit it to the Division Director for staff review.
