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.
