[SRRA]: Notice Concerning the Use of Rounding of Analytical Data as a Method to Determine Compliance with Remediation Standards

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has been receiving an increasing number of inquiries regarding rounding analytical data as a method to determine compliance with remediation standards. The NJDEP does not have an official policy regarding rounding as a method of compliance. It should also be noted that current laws and rules regarding remediation do not address rounding as a method of compliance.

The NJDEP has determined that this issue is best addressed by amending the "Technical Guidance for the Attainment of Remediation Standards and Site-Specific Criteria," and will be reconvening the stakeholder committee in January 2020 to discuss the rounding issue.

IMPORTANT: Until the technical guidance is revised and a policy is established, rounding of analytical data may not be used as a compliance option.
