Subject: [CPEO-BIF] New York DEC issues Draft Revised Regulations
 
New York Department of Environmental Conservation Reissues Draft Revised Regulations and Proposed New Subpart 375-5

The Department has reissued the draft revised regulation for the Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Site Remedial Program (State Superfund Program), the Environmental Restoration Program (ERP), and the new Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP). In addition, the Department has reorganized the regulation to separate the soil cleanup objective tables into a new Subpart 375-6, and included an additional description of their use in response to comments.

A new Subpart 375-5, the "Remediation Stipulation Program" is also being proposed. This proposed Subpart provides for an alternative remedial program, application to which is voluntary, which will facilitate the clean up and reuse of contaminated sites, thus stimulating economic revitalization, while ensuring the continued protection of public health and the environment. This program would address sites not eligible for the Brownfield Cleanup Program, or sites where a less structured program is sought.

The Department originally released the draft regulation on November 16, 2005. Public meetings were held throughout the State in November and December 2005. The Department also held three public hearings in March 2006. The Department has reissued the revised regulation and will allow for a second public comment period for draft Subparts 375-1 through 375-4 and Subpart 375-6.

Public comments addressing changes since the November 2005 draft to Subparts 375-1 through 375-4 and Subpart 375-6 will be accepted until August 25, 2006.

Public comments addressing Subpart 375-5 will be accepted until September 5, 2006.
