Law Promotes Brownfield Redevelopment (2
Feb 2005)
In an effort to promote economic growth and the cleanup of contaminated
sites in New Jersey, Acting Governor Richard J. Codey signed legislation
that provides qualified developers liability protection against
natural resource damage claims at brownfield sites across the state.
The legislation also provides brownfield developers liability protection
for off-site contamination and makes changes to the statute of limitations
under which DEP can assess NRD claims. (DEP News Release 2 Feb 2005)
