The new NJDEP site remediation reforms impose several mandatory compliance deadlines.  The mandatory deadline for the following regulatory submittals is March 1, 2012, if remediation was initiated prior to March 10, 2010:

Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation (PA/SI): the PA/SI is the initial site assessment of potential areas of concern (AOCs) and the subsequent investigation of these AOCs.  A PA/SI report must be reviewed by a LSRP and submitted to NJDEP by the deadline where required under the Industrial Site Recovery Action (ISRA) or Underground Storage Tank (UST) rules;

Initial Receptor Evaluation Form: This form identifies on-site or nearby receptors (potable wells, ecological receptors, vapor risks to building occupants) that could potentially be impacted by contamination identified at your site.  If remediation, which includes sampling, was initiated prior to March 1, 2010, then the Initial Receptor Evaluation Form must be reviewed by a LSRP and submitted to NJDEP by the deadline;

IEC Contaminant Source Control Report: an Immediate Environmental Concern (IEC) is determined to be present at your site when a contaminant is detected in one or more scenarios:  (a) above the applicable NJDEP standards, (b) a completed vapor migration pathway is present, and/or (c) there is a sensitive receptor, i.e. potable (drinking water) wells.  NJDEP requires that source control measures be initiated and an IEC Contaminant Source Control Report be reviewed by a LSRP and submitted to NJDEP by the deadline to document how the IEC is being addressed;

LNAPL Interim Remedial Measures Report:  if Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (LNAPL) or free product has been identified at your site, interim remedial measures (free product removal) must be implemented and a report reviewed by a LSRP and submitted to NJDEP by the deadline.
