58:10B-3.1 Authority to perform remediation of condemned property by local government unit, certain conditions.
1. a. If a local government unit condemns contaminated property pursuant to the "Eminent Domain Act of 1971," P.L.1971, c.361 (C.20:3-1 et seq.), and the property is undergoing a remediation, the local government unit may petition the Department of Environmental Protection, in writing, for authority to perform the remediation of the condemned property. The department, upon a determination that the local government unit has demonstrated sufficient resources to perform the remediation, may replace the person performing the remediation of the condemned property with the local government unit that has condemned the property, provided that, at the time the condemnation action is filed, more than four years have elapsed since the person performing the remediation first entered into an oversight document for the site with the Department of Environmental Protection and the person has not begun implementation of a remedial action workplan for each area of concern on the property. The department shall not replace the person performing the remediation of the condemned property unless the local government unit enters into an appropriate oversight document with the department to perform the remediation.
b. Upon the replacement of the person performing a remediation of contaminated property with a local government unit pursuant to subsection a. of this section, the department may release the person performing the remediation from the requirement to establish a remediation funding source as otherwise required pursuant to section 25 of P.L.1993, c.139 (C.58:10B-3).
