Construction in historic fill or other environmentally impacted areas is "initiating remediation"

Under New Jersey’s recently-enacted Site Remediation Reform Act, construction in areas of historic fill or other environmental impacts will be considered by NJDEP to be “initiating remediation” and require retaining a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP), regardless of whether the property was an open NJDEP site remediation case.  The LSRP is a private consultant who will exectute most of the oversight activities formerly done by NJDEP including, when appropriate, issuing what was formerly known as a No Further Action Letter.  Click here for draft guidance on presumptive remedies for construction of residences and other facilities in historic fill and other environmentally-impacted materials.  Failure to implement these presumptive remedies or obtain NJDEP-approval of alternatives may result in NJDEP penalties or other enforcement action.
