The Site Remediation Program (SRP) of the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection has proposed regulations for the
remediation of contaminated sites entitled "Technical Requirements for Site Remediation" N.J.A.C.
7:26E.
Key aspects of these regulations require the submission
and use of Geographic Information System (GIS) and related data. A GIS
is a computer mapping system used for the development of geographic data
and databases. By Administrative Order, Commissioner Shinn has required
that mapped information be submitted to the NJDEP so that the data can
be incorporated into the NJDEP's GIS, and that this information must be
consistent with criteria specified in "Mapping and Digital Data Standards"
(MDDS) dated April, 1997.
This guidance document is intended to clarify the relationship
between the MDDS criteria and practical issues associated with electronic
submission of contaminated site remediation information called for in
the requirements of N.J.A.C.7:26E. The goals of this guidance are to ensure
swift, uncomplicated integration of digital map submissions with the SRP's
existing GIS databases. We can accomplish this task by making use of various
common mapping and drafting software packages currently available and
generally in use by government and the regulated community. While the
regulations require specialized data, the Department seeks to minimize
as much as possible departure from standard industry operating practices
associated with the developing and reporting information on the investigation
and remediation of contaminated sites.
