Pipeline opponents contend that the pipelines will cross preserved open space and farmland and infringe on local land use decisions and property rights.
At the second session, Municipalities and the Site Remediation Reform Act” (SRRA), Mr. Scagnelli and his co-panelists will discuss issues of interest to municipalities regarding contaminated sites within their boundaries, including how SRAA affects municipalities with contaminated sites, the legal requirements for municipalities relating to remediation of those sites, and municipal New Jersey Spill Act defenses to liability. There will also be a discussion of bringing contaminated sites back to productive use and the existing tools available to municipalities and developers to facilitate remediation.
