Guidance Documents SRP Fees

Fees Guidance

The Site Remediation Program has amended various program rules to adjust the fees for services provided by SRP. Specifically, the UST rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14B-3, the ISRA rules at N.J.A.C. 7:26B-8 and the Oversight rules at N.J.A.C. 7:26C-9 have been amended. The fees have not been reviewed and updated by the Department for eight years. SRP is adopting amendments to the fees where necessary to ensure that the amount of the fees cover the Department's costs to provide the service to the regulated community.

In addition to amending the fees, SRP is adopting a new provision at N.J.A.C. 7:26C-9.2 that requires persons conducting remediation of non-regulated underground storage tanks (usually residential heating oil tanks) to pay a fixed oversight fee for the review of homeowner underground storage tank remedial action reports rather than being billed pursuant to the oversight cost formula at N.J.A.C. 7:26C-9.3. In the event that the Department’s oversight cost exceeds three times the fixed fee the party will then be billed inaccordance with the oversight cost formula.

It is also noted that the new fees for the review of Preliminary Assessment and Site Investigation Reports will be applicable to reports submitted by daycare and educational facilities as part of their new or renewal licensing requirements.

In order to implement these new fees and requirements in an orderly manner, the Department is setting October 1, 2007 as the effective date for these amended fees. Any submittals to Department on or after this date will be subject to the new fees.
