On May 7, 2009, the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA), N.J.S.A. 58:10C-1, et seq., was signed into law and dramatically changed the approval process for remediating contaminated sites in New Jersey. Prior to SRRA, all remediation in the state occurred under the supervision of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and with NJDEP approval.
This year, on May 7, SRRA became fully effective and, with limited exceptions, all site remediation projects in the state must proceed under the supervision of a licensed site remediation professional (LSRP) rather than a NJDEP case manager. N.J.S.A. 58:10B-1.3. SRRA has effectively privatized the site remediation process in New Jersey and forever changed the relationships between environmental consultants and their clients. This new statutory framework has the potential to open LSRPs up to new-found liability.
