201-896-4100 jscagnelli@sh-law.comThe New Jersey Legislature is advancing legislation that would amend the state’s Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA). The bill, dubbed SRRA 2.0, aims to incorporate lessons learned since the environmental law was enacted a decade ago.
The SRRA, enacted in 2009, established the Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) program. It also altered the process of how contaminated sites are remediated in New Jersey, shifting the day-to-day oversight of site remediation to LSRPs.
The SRRA also established an affirmative obligation for persons to remediate any discharge for which they would be liable pursuant to the Spill Compensation and Control Act. The statute also created mandatory remediation timeframes for the completion of key phases of site remediation.
The legislation, Senate Bill 3683/Assembly Bill 5293, would make several amendments to the SRRA, both with respect to the remediation of contaminated sites and the oversight of LSRPs. Below are several of the most significant changes:
The Assembly Environment and Solid Waste Committee advanced Assembly Bill 5293 on June 10, 2019. In the Senate, the bill is pending before the Senate Environment and Energy Committee. The attorneys of the Scarinci Hollenbeck Environmental & Land Use Law Group will continue to track its status and post updates.
