[SRRA]: Notification requirements of Licensed Site Remediation Professionals when remediation timeframes are unlikely to be met

The purpose of this listserv is to remind Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRPs) of their obligation to comply with the Regulations of the New Jersey Site Remediation Professional Licensing Board at N.J.A.C. 7:26I-6.8(b) and (c) regarding notification of remediation timeframes that are unlikely to be met. The Board will evaluate compliance with these requirements, and a finding that an LSRP failed to comply may result in disciplinary action against that LSRP.

N.J.A.C. 7:26I-6.8(b) and (c) require LSRPs to do the following:

1. Notify the person responsible for conducting remediation in writing when in his or her professional judgment based on site history any one or more applicable regulatory timeframes referenced in the Administrative Requirements for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites (ARRCS) at N.J.A.C. 7:26C-3.2 is unlikely to be met; and

2. Notify the person responsible for conducting remediation and the Department of Environmental Protection in writing when in his or her professional judgment based on site history any one or more applicable mandatory or expedited site-specific timeframes referenced in ARRCS at N.J.A.C. 7:26C-3.3 or 3.4 is unlikely to be met.

LSRPs must use the form posted on the Site Remediation Program website to notify the Department:

LSRPs should use the Data Miner "Case Tracking Tool by LSRP" report to view the regulatory timeframes and due dates recorded in the Department database for the sites for which they are retained:

Based on the regulatory timeframes in the report, the mandatory timeframes may be determined per the Technical Requirements for Site Remediation, N.J.A.C. 7:26E, and ARRCS, N.J.A.C. 7:26C, as summarized on the DEP/SRP website at:

https://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/srra/training/matrix/new_responsibilities/timeframe_req.pdf

The Board and the Department use the data recorded in the Department database to evaluate compliance, so any data discrepancies in the "Case Tracking Tool by LSRP" Data Miner report should be brought to the attention of either the Bureau of Case Assignment and Initial Notice duty officer at 609-292-2943 or the Compliance Assistance duty officer at 609-633-1464.
