We happy to report that NJDEP's proposed substantial changes upon adoption to the Site Remediation Reform Act amendments rule proposal published will not be adopted. Therefore, under the laws that governor administrative rule making, this residual proposal from the former Governor's administration is officially dead.

NAIOP NJ worked closely with Governor Sherrill's Administration to educate them on the significant negative impacts to advancing redevelopment statewide. In addition, we worked successfully with partners to raise awareness and stood in absolute opposition to this provision. 

CLICK HERE for our official comment letter, developed with the support of NAIOP NJ technical experts on our Regulatory Affairs Committee. Leveraging the time and talent of our members is a big part of our success. Thanks for all that stepped up to support this industry priority. 

Thanks for the Governor's team for listening and for making this decision efficiently as a result of Executive Order #7. We would also like to credit Senator Bob Smith for going on record to support our position that the DEP proposal went past the carefully negotiated language of the LSRP laws he has championed.
