[SRRA]: Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) Timeframe Communication Requirements

On January 4, 2016, the New Jersey Site Remediation Professional Licensing Board adopted a new rule governing the licensed site remediation professional (LSRP) program, codified at N.J.A.C. 7:26I ("Regulations of the New Jersey Site Remediation Professional Licensing Board," "Board rule"). The Board rule addresses LSRPs' professional conduct and includes requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:26I-6.8(b) and (c) and N.J.A.C. 7:26I-6.18(b) concerning the LSRP's duty to communicate with clients regarding applicable remediation timeframes, notify clients if those timeframes are unlikely to be met, and the consequences of missing those timeframes. Additionally, the rule requires that the LSRP notify the Department when he or she believes that applicable mandatory or expedited site-specific timeframes will likely be missed.

In order to assist LSRPs in communicating with their clients, the Department has posted the "Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) Timeframe Communication Requirements" as an administrate guidance document at www.nj.gov/dep/srp/guidance/. This administrative guidance includes additional details regarding remediation timeframes and the consequences of non-compliance.

In addition, and in order to simplify the process for LSRPs for notifying the Department that an applicable mandatory or expedited site-specific timeframe is unlikely to be met, a form has been created that can be emailed to the Department. The form, titled "Notice of Failure to Comply with a Mandatory or Expedited Site-Specific Remediation Timeframe," is available at: www.nj.gov/dep/srp/srra/forms/. This form should be completed electronically and emailed to srpnotifications@dep.nj.gov. When sending this form, the LSRP should make sure to include the Program Interest (PI) Number in the subject line of the email. Using this notification process will insure that the notification is promptly and properly recorded with the site record.
