[SRRA]: Statutory deadline to complete remedial investigation by May 7, 2014

The Department has sent letters to all persons responsible for conducting the remediation who, according to the Department's records, are required to meet the May 7, 2014 statutory deadline for completing the remedial investigation set forth in the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA; N.J.S.A. 58:10C-1 et seq.). Sites that do not complete the remedial investigation by this date are subject to the requirements of direct Department oversight as set forth in the Administrative Requirements for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites (ARRCS; N.J.A.C. 7:26C).

The Department has created a website pertaining to this statutory deadline (http://nj.gov/dep/srp/timeframe/index.html). Information on the website includes a copy of the letter sent to the persons responsible, the Department policy describing what is meant by "complete the remedial investigation" and "entire contaminated site," Subchapter 14 from ARRCS (which set forth the direct Department oversight requirements), Frequently Asked Questions, and other information related to this statutory requirement.

The Department has also created a call center (1-855-629-2014) to address questions regarding this statutory requirement. The call center will operate from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Questions regarding all other aspects of the Site Remediation Program and the Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) Program should be sent to the appropriate SRP staff (see https://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/srra/srra_contacts.htm).
