 Triad
Approach
Policy Statement in Support of the Triad Approach
8/19/03
The New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection is committed to streamlining the site investigation
and remediation process at contaminated sites without compromising
data quality and reliability. This goal can sometimes be
better achieved by implementing the Triad approach, a process
that integrates systematic planning, dynamic work plans,
and real-time measurements to achieve more timely and cost-effective
site characterization and cleanup. The Triad approach seeks
to recognize and manage the uncertainties involved in generating
representative data from heterogeneous environmental matrices.
The Department supports and encourages
the use of Triad for sites undergoing investigation and
remediation within the Site Remediation and Waste Management
Program where feasible. The Department has evaluated the
Technical Requirements for Site
Remediation, N.J.A.C. 7:26E, in the context of Triad,
and has determined that the concepts embodied in Triad can
be implemented within the framework of the rules. The Department
encourages persons interested in using the Triad approach
to enter into Memoranda of Agreement, as described in N.J.A.C.
7:26C, because successful implementation of the Triad
approach requires close interaction with the Department
to ensure that appropriate considerations have been addressed.
The Department will continue to consider whether modification
of applicable rules would facilitate or further encourage
use of the Triad method.
