[SRRA]: Clarifications regarding electronic submittal of Remediation Funding Source (RFS), Financial Assurance (FA), and laboratory data to DEP email mailbox

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Site Remediation and Waste Management Program (SRWMP) issued a listserv on April 2, 2020, regarding a dedicated mailbox (srp_submissions@dep.nj.gov) for the submittal of forms, documents, and applications for which services through NJDEP Online currently do not exist. This listserv clarifies the use of the mailbox for Remediation Funding Source (RFS), Financial Assurance (FA), and laboratory data electronic submissions.

The use of the srp_submissions@dep.nj.gov mailbox for the following types of submittals will follow the same general guidelines as in the April 2, 2020 listserv.

REMEDIATION FUNDING SOURCE
A. All INITIAL RFS submittals must be submitted via paper copy, even if a Self-Guarantee will be the mechanism and no check is required, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26C-5.

B. All submittals regarding a change in mechanism must be submitted via paper copy with a check for the full amount of the one-percent RFS surcharge, as applicable, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26C-5.

C. No original mechanism (Remediation Trust Fund Agreement, Letter of Credit, Line of Credit, Environmental Insurance Policy, or Self-Guarantee Application) will be accepted via email.

D. For a Self-Guarantee Annual Renewal (non-initial), all documents may be submitted to srp_submissions@dep.nj.gov, including a copy of the Self-Guarantee Application. The original, three-page Self-Guarantee Application must also be mailed to BCAIN separately, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26C-5. The entire 10-K Report is not required to be emailed or submitted via regular mail with a Self-Guarantee Annual Renewal. The applicable pages from the 10-K may be scanned and emailed, including the Independent Auditor's Report Page.
