From: NJDEP SRWM Cleanup Star Program
To: Cleanup Stars Listserv
Date: 7/27/05 4:37 PM
Subject: Cleanup Star Program Updates - July 2005
1. CLEANUP STAR WEB SITE UPDATED
Web Site: http://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/cleanupstar/
The Cleanup Star Web site has been updated to include individuals designated
as Cleanup Stars from the January 5, 2005 application period. The revised
lists also reflect changes resulting from the removal of individuals who
failed to provide the Department with updated documentation concerning
the renewal of required insurance coverage, the completion of the required
8-hour health and safety refresher and a valid third-party certification,
for those that have expired.
2. DEP ANNOUNCES NEXT APPLICATION PERIOD FOR CLEANUP STAR PROGRAM
Applications for environmental professionals seeking Cleanup Star pre-qualification
are being accepted by DEP until August 18, 2005. Environmental Professionals
are encouraged to review the Cleanup
Star Program Guidance Document and the NJDEP
Cleanup Star Application and apply if they meet the specified criteria.
The Cleanup Star Program Guidance Document explains the qualification
criteria and the terms of the Cleanup Star Program.
Completed applications and all supporting documentation must
be received by the Cleanup Star Program by 4:00 PM on August 18, 2005.
Applicants must use the latest version of the application posted on the
NJDEP Cleanup Star Web page. (You can find the application form links
on the Cleanup Star Web page.) Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
Applications lacking any supporting documentation will be considered incomplete.
No applications or supporting information will be accepted after the closing
date.
3. UPDATES MADE TO CLEANUP STAR PROGRAM GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has made several
changes to the Cleanup Star Program Guidance Document and Cleanup Star
Certification used to implement the Cleanup Star Program. One notable
change is the Cleanup Star Program will now allow cases that trigger a
ground water investigation, where the results indicate no contamination
above the applicable Ground Water Quality Standards, to proceed through
the Cleanup Star Process. In addition, the Cleanup Star Questionnaire
has been modified to reflect the changes that have been made in the Cleanup
Star Program Guidance Document.
