The adoption of the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA) in 2009 created a sea change in how the remediation of contaminated sites is addressed in New Jersey. The core component of SRRA was the recognition of a new professional—the licensed site remediation professional (LSRP). LSRPs are vested with the responsibility and authority to supervise the remediation of most sites and to document the completion of remediation through the issuance of a response action outcome (RAO).
SRRA created the Site Remediation Professional Licensing Board to “oversee the licensing, continuing education, and professional conduct of [LSRPs].” Statement to Assembly Committee Substitute for A-2962. As provided for in SRRA, the board has recently proposed regulations governing the board’s functions. The board’s Jan. 5 rule proposal, 47 N.J.R. 45, was the product of years of work by the board, with significant outreach to stakeholders. Once adopted, the proposed rules will impact not only LSRPs but also the parties conducting remediation (known as “parties responsible for conducting remediation” or PRCRs) and the general public. This article highlights some of the more notable proposed regulations.
