I. 

LSRP Program Steering Committee:

Tom Cozzi/Karen Hershey (co-chairs)

Committee goal: To work with the Department on the implementation of the existing LSRP program. The Committee is comprised of SRP managers and staff, environmental consultants, industry representatives, lawyers and members of the environmental community. The Steering Committee meets to discuss general program issues and propose solutions to identified problems.

II. 

Technical Guidance:

Committee Goal: To develop topic specific Technical Guidance that will work in concert with the Technical Rules by providing recommendations, approaches and technical issues to be considered in the remediation of contaminated sites. These guidance documents should be used by the LSRP or remediating party during the remedial process to provide a basic framework for making decisions and for applying professional judgment. The LSRP licensing board may also use the Guidance to help evaluate whether professional judgment was applied appropriately at a site.

Guidance document review process:

When a draft final guidance document is completed by a Committee, all Committee members should review the document and support releasing the document for external review. The document will be distributed to Stakeholders on all of the 2nd Round Technical Guidance Committees for review and comment. Those Stakeholders receiving the document will also be requested to assume responsibility for coordinating reviews within their respective constituencies and funneling comments back to the Committee Chairperson. The draft guidance document will also be distributed to the SRP Assistant Commissioner’s office and any interested DEP-SRP staff for review and comment. In addition, Stakeholders on the SRRA Steering Committee will have an opportunity to review the document for major flaws and this review will be coordinated by the DEP Steering Committee Chairperson. The review period for draft Guidance documents will be six weeks. Following the close of the comment period, the Technical Guidance Committee issuing the document will review all comments and revise the document, if necessary, in response to comments received. Significant technical comments will be addressed in writing by the Committee and posted on the DEP’s Web page as a “Response to Comments” document. After final revision, the Technical Guidance Committee will release the document as a “Final Technical Guidance” document, it will be posted on the DEP’s SRP Guidance Library webpage and a SRRA Listserve message will be issued.

III. 

Remedial Prioirity System:

George Klein (DEP chair)

Committee goal: To develop a Remedial Priority Scoring (RPS) system to measure each contaminated site's relative risk to human and ecological health. The system will be based on the Department’s existing electronic data and will be enhanced as new data, improved logic and additional capabilities become available.

• Remedial Priority Scoring System

Additional stakeholder efforts:

Site Remediation Advisory Group and Cooperative Venture Program

David Haymes (DEP chair)

Committee goal: The Site Remediation Advisory Group (SRAG) and Cooperative Venture Project (CVP) meetings are a valuable opportunity for stakeholders to meet with Department personnel to discuss specific technical and administrative issues concerning their constituencies. These meetings will be an interactive forum where targeted information is presented and problems and issues are discussed and resolved. The goal of the Site Remediation Program is to make the remedial process more transparent, predictable and efficient. These meetings will help achieve that goal and promote the Department’s Stakeholder process.

• CVP/SRAG Meeting Calendar and Materials
