[EXTERNAL]:Remedial Action Permit (RAP) Transfer/Change of Property Ownership Applications and RAP Modification Applications (Soil and Ground Water) for co-permittee address changes

Contaminated Site Remediation & Redevelopment (CSRR) is pleased to announce that RAP Transfer/Change of Property Ownership Applications and RAP Modification Applications (Soil and Ground Water) for co-permittee address changes are now being reviewed by the Bureau of Case Assignment & Initial Notice (BCAIN). The Financial Services Element reviews the financial assurance component, if applicable.

• If no deficiencies are found, BCAIN will email the "Administrative Remedial Action Permit Application Approval Letter" to the co-permittee(s), LSRP retained for the RAP activity, and County/Municipal Clerks and Health Officers.
• If deficiencies are found, BCAIN and/or the Financial Services Element will notify the co-permittee(s) and LSRP retained for the RAP activity of the issues that need to be resolved.

The Department will no longer create activities in its database for RAP Transfer/Change of Property Ownership Applications and RAP Modification Applications for address changes.

The "Administrative Remedial Action Permit Application Approval Letter" will amend the last RAP issued by updating the co-permittee(s) that were listed on that RAP. This Approval Letter should be attached to the last RAP issued and be maintained as part of the environmental record for the site.
