Section 19:34-3.4 - Site investigation

(a) Site investigations entail the planning and implementation of environmental site sampling, detailed utility investigations and other activities that rely on site-specific field data to quantify remediation liability exposure and define the extent of impacts, the development of site-specific remediation action objectives and the development of remedial action alternatives and their corresponding remediation costs estimates.

(b) The Authority shall undertake the site investigation needed for purposes of site acquisition or use of a district-owned site for the construction of a school facilities project, in accordance with the rules of the NJDEP governing the undertaking of environmental investigations in their Technical Requirements for Site Remediation, N.J.A.C. 7:26E, as amended.

(c) The Authority shall communicate its findings of data and information (gathered from a site investigation) with the district's chief school administrator prior to submitting an application for any required approval of the acquisition of land to the Department. Further, the Authority shall undertake any other due diligence required for the site acquisition or the use of district-owned land for a school facilities project. The Authority shall also undertake the submission of the application for land acquisition approval to the SDA school district. If more than one site has been evaluated, the Authority, after consultation with the SDA school district, shall notify the Department of what it considers to be the most suitable site.

(d) At any point during or after site investigation, if the Authority determines that a proposed site is not suitable or available for school use, due to environmental or other reasons, it may either terminate or require the district to terminate any further site investigation for that site.
