DEPARTMENT of ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
SITE REMEDIATION PROGRAM

Notice of Rule Proposal
Notification of the Remediation of Contaminated Sites and Public Outreach
Proposed New Rules and Amendments: N.J.A.C. 7:26C-10.4 and 7:26E-1.4,
1.11, 3.7, 4.1, 5.1, 8.2


Public Notice

Take notice that the NJ Department of Environmental Protection is
proposing new rules, and rule amendments. The Department is proposing to
amend the Technical Rules to include mandatory notification requirements
for the person conducting the remediation of a contaminated site.
Notification requirements may be satisfied by posting a sign or sending
notification letters to local officials and the public including, the
owners and tenants of properties located within 200 feet of the site
boundary. The amendments require the person conducting the remediation
to identify sensitive populations located within 200 feet of the site.
The Department will require additional public outreach when local
citizens or officials demonstrate substantial public interest by
submitting a petition to the Department, or when contamination migrates
past the boundary of the site. Additional public notice will be required
when the person conducting the remediation proposes to bring
contaminated material onto the site in excess of the amount that is
needed to complete the remediation.

The proposal was published in the New Jersey Register dated August 6,
2007. A copy of the proposal <about:blank../proposals/080607b.pdf> (PDF)
is available from the DEP web site; official repository libraries; and
LexisNexis Customer Service at (800)223-1944 or

advised that there may be a fee for obtaining a copy of the proposal
from some sources.
