[SRRA]: NJDEPs Site Remediation Program Announces the Availability of New Technical Guidance: Technical Guidance on the Capping of Sites Undergoing Remediation

Document Description:
This technical guidance will define what a cap is, describe various types of caps, and discuss the factors and limitations to be considered in selecting a particular cap. The goal is to provide information that investigators can use to determine which caps are best for the remedial issues facing them. This Technical Guidance was developed with stakeholder input by the NJDEP’s Capping Technical Guidance Committee. The Department would like to thank Teruo Sugihara (DEP Committee Chair) and all the members of the Capping Committee for their time and effort in developing this guidance. The Technical Guidance and associated response to Comments document are available for viewing and downloading on the SRP's Guidance Library webpage at https://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/guidance.

Technical guidance may be used immediately upon issuance. However, the Department recognizes the challenge of using newly issued technical guidance when a remediation affected by the guidance may have already been conducted or is currently in progress. To provide for the reasonable implementation of new technical guidance, the Department will allow a 6-month “phase-in” period between the date the technical guidance is issued final (or revised) and the time it should be used.
