Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) If an LSRP obtains specific knowledge of a previously unreported condition at a contaminated site that in his or her independent professional judgment is an immediate environmental concern, the LSRP shall:

1. Immediately verbally advise and confirm, in writing, to the person responsible for conducting the remediation of the condition and of that person's duty to notify the Department of the condition provided that the person is known to the LSRP; and

2. Immediately notify the Department of the condition by calling the Department's telephone hotline at 1-877-WARNDEP.

(b) If an LSRP obtains specific knowledge of a previously unreported condition in an unoccupied structure that in the LSRP's independent professional judgment constitutes an immediate environmental concern, and the person responsible for conducting the remediation provides to the Department a written certification from the property owner that the building is not occupied, will not be occupied, and will be demolished, then no further remediation relative to the immediate environmental concern in the unoccupied structure shall be required, provided the conditions of the certification are maintained. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the responsibility of an LSRP to comply with the notification requirements at (a) above, or the responsibility to report a discharge pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26I-6.10.
