[SRRA]: NJDEP Site Remediation & Waste Management Program Announces the Availability of Revised Administrative Guidance for Addressing Unknown Off-Site Sources of Contamination

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is announcing the availability of administrative guidance for use by Licensed Site Remediation Professionals and Subsurface Evaluators when encountering contamination that is suspected to be unrelated to a known discharge undergoing remediation. The administrative guidance identifies steps to follow when contamination is encountered on or off the site undergoing remediation as well as situations involving residential unregulated heating oil underground storage tanks.

This Administrative Guidance is available for viewing and downloading on the SRWMP's Guidance Library webpage at https://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/guidance/.

This administrative guidance may be used immediately upon issuance. However, the Department recognizes the challenge of using newly revised guidance when a remediation affected by the guidance may have already been conducted or is currently in progress. To provide for the reasonable implementation of new technical guidance, the Department will allow a 6-month "phase-in" period between the date the technical guidance is issued final (or revised) and the time it should be used.
