NJDEP posts Guidance for Implementation of Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA)

See the following NJDEP Guidance documents regarding New Jersey’s new Site Remediation Reform Act, which “privatizes” approvals of site remediation activities in New Jersey.  Qualified private consultants can become Licensed Site Remediation Professionals, who will assume many of the oversight responsibilities formerly carried out by NJDEP, including issuing what were formerly known as No Further Action Letters (NFA) and will now be known as Response Action Outcomes (RAO).
Guidance regarding Immediate Environmental Concern (IEC) which must be reported to NJDEP and triggers other requirements: iec_guidance_draft.pdf
Guidance on the issuance of Response Action Outcomes (RAO’s):rao_guidance_draft.pdf
Guidance on rendering property unusable, which is grounds for NJDEP to invalidate a RAO:unusable_properties_draft.pdf
Guidance for presumptive remedies - NJDEP approval is required if selecting an alternative: presumptive_remedy_guidance_DRAFT.pdf
Guidance on when NJDEP may undertake “direct oversight”.  This still requires retaining a LSRP and additionally requires posting a remediation funding source, requires NJDEP to review and approve/comment/disapprove each document prepared by the LSRP and requires NJDEP, not the LSRP, to select the remedial actions, and imposes other requirements.direct_oversight.pdf
