New Soil Remediation Standards in New Jersey - NJ Law Journal article by Dave Mairo
NJDEP has proposed Soil Remediation Standards (SRSs) and indicated it plans to adopt as soon as possible. If adopted, the SRSs will replace the Department’s current Soil Cleanup Criteria (SCC) guidance. In many cases the SRSs may not allow engineering or institutional controls where the guidance would have allowed them. Instead, the SRSs stricter impact to groundwater standards in many cases will require remediation unless the Department approves Alternative Remediation Standards. Dave Mairo reviews the various concerns related to the new standards and how, if implemented, they could affect various parties. The entire article ("Regulated Community Faces Stricter Controls,” New Jersey Law Journal October 24, 2005) is available here. http://www.connellfoley.com/articles/mairo-njlj-102405.pdf
