Local Government Outreach
Site Remediation Obligations for Government Entities
Annual Mayors Roundtable Session
Every year, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
and the New Jersey State League of Municipalities host a Brownfields
to Ballfields event, for mayors and local officials to learn about
the Site Remediation Program and to ask questions about cleanups
of contaminated sites.
NJDEP hosts Municipal Workshops
Mayors and local government officials interested in learning
more about site remediation issues and brownfield redevelopment
can arrange for a meeting with staff from the NJDEP Office of
Community Relations (OCR) and Office
of Brownfield Reuse (OBR). In an effort to improve communication
with local government officials and help communities revitalize
blighted properties, OCR staff will provide technical assistance
and updates on projects undergoing remediation. Information
posted on NJDEP’s Data Miner and KCSNJ Web sites will assist
local government officials in tracking site conditions and remedial
activities. OCR and OBR staff will also provide information
on financial assistance for homeowners who need to remove their
home heating oil tank, as well as information on other state funded
programs to evaluate and clean up properties in need of redevelopment.
Many municipalities have benefited from the information exchange
and have found OCR to be a resource on environmental issues affecting
their community.
