Pursuant to Section 27b of the Site Remediation Reform Act, N.J.S.A. 58:10C-27 the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is authorized,
under certain conditions, to undertake direct oversight of the remediation of a contaminated site or a portion of a
contaminated site. The Legislature has established specific conditions that trigger the Department's evaluation of the
remediation of a site for direct oversight. In addition, Section 27d the Site Remediation Reform Act requires the
Department to issue guidelines establishing specific criteria that the Department will evaluate in order to determine when
a site or a portion of a site will be subject to direct oversight pursuant to Section 27b. The purpose of this guidance
document is to fulfill this requirement and to provide the public with notice of these criteria. |

8. Preparation of the Case Inventory Documents |
| |
Brief Description of Document
The Case Inventory Document (CID) is a concise summary of all areas of concern (AOCs) and major case components
that serve to form the basis for remedial decisions. The person responsible for conducting the remediation shall develop
and submit the CID with each remedial phase report and Direct Oversight Documents. The tracking of AOCs and major
case components allows for the person responsible for conducting the remediation and the Department of Environmental
Protection (Department) to:
- efficiently track the progress of all AOCs from identification to issuance of a final remediation document (i.e.,
Remedial Action Outcome (RAO), No Further Action letters (NFAs), etc.), in one easily identified section of the
technical reports;
- review a summary of the work completed and planned at each AOC; and
- identify the current case status.
This tracking process allows for the snapshot review of remedial efforts. |

10. Public Notification Guidance |
| |
Brief Description of Document
The Department has recently adopted rule amendments affecting
public notification requirements to address concerns from the
community. Included in these amendments is the recodifying of
the public notification requirements from the Technical Requirements
for Site Remediation (Technical Requirements, N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1.4)
in the Administrative Requirements
for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites (ARRCS, N.J.A.C. 7:26C-1.7).
Please note: ARRCS states that public notification must be conducted
14 days prior to commencing field activities associated with the
Remedial Action (RA). This differs from the previous requirement
in the Technical Requirements that public notification must be
conducted 14 days prior to commencing field activities associated
with the Remedial Investigation (RI). This change was made in
error and the requirement for public notification will be changed
back to the RI in a future rule amendment package. Until the amendment
package is adopted, and as mentioned above, the Department believes
that it beneficial to everyone the early that public outreach
and notification occurs, and supports RPs conducting public outreach
and notification occurs prior to the RA.
The Department has compiled a list of FAQs, and developed the following guidance to help remediation parties comply with the amendments: |
