Except as specifically noted within this chapter, the forms, spreadsheets, and
worksheets required by this section require information identifying the site,
the responsible entity and the licensed site remediation professional, the
certifications of the licensed site remediation professional and responsible
entity submitting the data, and a summary of key data and conclusions, as
applicable, associated with the technical information or document(s) with which
they are required to be submitted;
2. Certify, and have the licensed site
remediation professional certify, pursuant to
N.J.A.C. 7:26C-1.5, all forms and documents
prepared to pursuant to this chapter;
3. Submit a completed case inventory document
worksheet available on the Department's website at
www.nj.gov/dep/srp/srra/forms at the front of each remedial phase
workplan and report required by this chapter, except for a preliminary
assessment report where no areas of concern were identified;
4. Submit a quality assurance project plan
prepared pursuant to
N.J.A.C. 7:26E-2.2 with each remedial phase
workplan and report required by this chapter, except for a preliminary
assessment report and remedial action report;
5. Except where a final remediation document
for unrestricted use is filed with the Department within one year after the
earliest applicable trigger to remediate listed in
N.J.A.C. 7:26C-2.2, submit all sampling data
electronically in a summary table using the format outlined in the Site
Remediation Program's "Electronic Data Interchange Manual," available at
http://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/hazsite/docs/,
in effect as of the date the document is submitted and include:
i. The following locational information:
(1) Horizontal data points reported in New
Jersey state plane coordinates using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD
1983), in accordance with the Department's Geographic Mapping and Digital Data
Standards found in Appendix A of the General Practice and Procedure rules at
N.J.A.C. 7:1D, using units of U.S. survey feet; and
(2) Locational information collected in
latitude and longitude converted to New Jersey state plane coordinates.
Conversion programs are available at
http://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/hazsite/help/software/;
ii. All vertical data points
reported as depth below ground surface, and in mean sea level using the North
American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 1988) in accordance with the Department's
Geographic Mapping and Digital Data Standards found in Appendix A of the
General Practice and Procedure rules at N.J.A.C. 7:1D.
iii. A metadata file for each submission of
electronic data that contain locational information in accordance with the
Department's Geographic Mapping and Digital Data Standards found in Appendix A
of the General Practice and Procedure rules at N.J.A.C. 7:1D; and
6. Submit a geographic information
system (GIS) compatible site plan that includes the site boundaries and the
location of all areas of concern as polygons. For assistance see
http://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/gis/index.html.
(b) The person responsible for conducting the remediation shall include, in each remedial phase workplan and report, the following information:
1. The
physical setting of the site that includes a general description of soils,
geology, hydrology, hydrogeology, and topography of the site and
surroundings;
2. A description of
any significant events or seasonal variations that may have influenced sampling
procedures or analytical results;
3. A description of the results and
implications of field measurements or area-specific changes in sampling
protocol due to field conditions;
4. A list of:
i. All variances from the requirements of
this chapter submitted pursuant to
N.J.A.C. 7:26E-1.7; and
ii. All rationales submitted for deviations
from any technical guidance pursuant to
N.J.A.C. 7:26C-1.2(a)3;
5. The applicable regulatory
timeframe, including:
i. The regulatory
citation of the regulatory timeframe; and
ii. The calendar date of the regulatory
timeframe;
6. A summary
table(s), organized by area of concern, of all sampling results, including
sample location, medium, sample depth, field and laboratory identification
numbers, analytical results, and comparison to remediation standards, and the
following:
i. Identification of each
contaminant concentration exceeding a remediation standard;
ii. For each sample, identification of each
contaminant for which there is a reporting limit or a method detection limit
that exceeds a remediation standard, along with an explanation in the table
key; and
iii. A report of all soils
and solids sample results in milligrams per kilogram on a dry weight basis,
tissue sample results on a wet weight basis, aqueous sample results in
micrograms per liter, and air results in micrograms per cubic meter;
7. For soil borings, test pits and
monitoring wells:
i. Stratigraphic logs, which
include soil/rock physical descriptions and field instrument readings detected
during drilling for each soil boring, test pit and monitoring well;
ii. State permit numbers and as-built
specifications, if applicable; and
iii. Monitoring well certification forms A
(the well construction as built certification) and B (the well location
certification) available on the Department's website at
http://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/regs/guidance.htm.
Form A requests such information as well owner and permit information, site
identification information, and a summary of specific well construction
information, and Form B requests such information as well location and
elevation information and a land surveyor's certification;
8. Maps and figures, with map scale and
orientation, including:
i. Site location,
land use, receptor evaluation, and area of concern maps;
ii. Sample location map(s) that include the
following:
(1) Field identification numbers
for all samples;
(2) Sample
locations, sample depths and contaminant concentrations plotted on the map;
and
(3) If data for more than 25
samples are presented for an area of concern, soil, ground water and sediment
contaminant isopleth maps and cross section diagram(s), including the
horizontal and vertical distribution of contaminants in each media, with sample
point location numbers and contaminant concentrations; and
iii. Ground water elevation contour maps
