Fill Material Guidance for SRP Sites in New Jersey



MAY 1, 2015

TRENTON, NEW JERSEY

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection announces the availability of the revised "Alternative and Clean fill Guidance for SRP Site (Dec 2011)," now entitled "Fill Material Guidance for SRP Sites."   

Revisions to this guidance were made by the guidance committee, which consists of NJDEP staff and Stakeholder representatives.  The major revisions include the title of the document, the addition of a new section to address licensed quarry/mine material, and an expanded section on pre-approvals needed for excess fill volume.

This Technical Guidance and the revision log can be accessed on the Site Remediation webpage in the Guidance Library section at: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/srp/guidance/.

Technical guidance may be used immediately upon issuance. However, the Department recognizes the challenge of using newly issued technical guidance when a remediation affected by the guidance may have already been conducted or is currently in progress. 

To provide for the reasonable implementation of new or revised technical guidance, the Department will allow a 6-month "phase-in" period between the date the technical guidance is issued and the time it should be used.
