[SRRA]: Submission of indoor and ambient air analytical results to the New Jersey Department of Health

The Technical Requirements for Site Remediation (Technical Requirements), as part of the "Receptor evaluation - vapor intrusion" (N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1.15), require the submission of certain information to the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Consumer, Environmental and Occupational Health Service (see N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1.15(h)). The NJDOH has recently informed the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) that it no longer requires the submission of indoor and ambient air analytical results except for samples collected at educational facilities and child care centers as defined in "Standards for Indoor Environment Certification and for Licensure of Indoor Environmental Consultants," N.J.A.C. 8:50-1.3.

Until the Technical Requirements can be amended, the person responsible for conducting the remediation shall address this issue through the variance process cited in the Technical Requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1.7. For the variance, the regulatory citation, description, and rationale to be used should be as follows:

"Per the Department's direction as noted in the NJDEP Listserv entitled "[SRRA]: Submission of indoor and ambient air analytical results to the New Jersey Department of Health," indoor and ambient air analytical results, including all maps and figures related to the indoor air sampling, and a sample location spreadsheet do not need to be submitted to the New Jersey Department of Health pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1.15(h) unless samples are collected at educational facilities or child care centers as defined in "Standards for Indoor Environment Certification and for Licensure of Indoor Environmental Consultants", N.J.A.C. 8:50-1.3."

Indoor and ambient air samples from educational facilities and child care centers should be sent to NJDOH pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1.15(h) to the following address:

New Jersey Department of Health
Environmental and Occupational Health Service
ATTN: Childcare Unit
