Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) ISRA Contacts

ISRA Contacts

(Excerpted from the ISRA Guide)

The NJDEP Site Remediation Program implements ISRA. The Office of Community Relations handles all General Questions. They can be contacted at (609) 984-3081.

The Bureau Case Assignment & Initial Notice (BCAIN) is within Enforcement and Assignment Element. The BCAIN staff is responsible for the Initial Notice Review, Limited Conveyance and DeMinimis Quantity Exemption applications, Limited Site Reviews, Remediation in Progress Waivers, Regulated Underground Storage Tank Waivers, Area of Concern Waivers, Minimal Environmental Concern Waivers and Expedited Reviews.

BCAIN receives all new cases and informs the owners/operators that they must complete a Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation (PA/SI). BCAIN reviews the PA/SI and if the case requires oversight for remediation, then it is transferred to the lead Bureaus for a more detailed review (i.e. Bureau of Industrial Site Remediation (BISR)). For additional information you may contact the Office of Community Relations at (609) 984-3081. For case specific questions you may call BCAIN at 609-633-1464.

The Bureau of Enforcement and Investigations is responsible for the review of Remediation Agreements and Remediation Funding Sources.

The Bureau of Contract and Fund Management reviews proposals for financial assistance and grants from the Hazardous Discharge Site Remediation Fund.

The Bureau of Industrial Site Remediation (BISR) is located within the Responsible Party Remediation Element. The BISR staff is responsible for case management of contaminated sites. BISR case management oversees primarily active contaminated ISRA cases until a No Further Action (NFA) or a Remedial Action Workplan (RAW) is approved and oversees the implementation of approved RAW’s. Other Bureaus may be the lead on a case by case basis. For additional information you may contact the Office of Community Relations at (609) 984-3081. For case specific questions you may call BNCM at (609) 777-0899.

The Bureau of Operation, Monitoring and Maintenance (BOM&M) is within the Remedial Management & Operations Element. Based upon the progress of the remediation at a property, BOM&M will provide oversight for cases that are essentially in a long-term operation and maintenance mode. For additional information you may contact the Office of Community Relations at (609) 984-3081. For case specific questions you may call BOM&M at (609) 984-2990.
