Excel has an exceptional track record in the successful incorporation of the "no action" alternatives for soil and groundwater into New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) approved Remedial Action Workplans (RAW) for a wide range of contaminants, including gasoline, No. 2, 4, and 6 fuel oil, chlorinated solvents, and a variety of metals.

The Deed Notice for soil and the Classification Exception Area (CEA) for groundwater are two recently instituted NJDEP tools, which can be considered on a site-by-site basis for streamlining project closure and significantly reducing remedial action costs. Excel's professionals have been working with the Deed Notice and CEA programs since their inception and we have firsthand experience with the NJDEP under a wide variety of circumstances.

Successful incorporation of the Deed Notice and/or CEA into a RAW requires a full understanding of the NJDEP criteria for acceptance and design of a Site Investigation (SI) or Remedial Investigation (RI) that will generate the information needed for evaluation and/or technical support of these "no action" remedial action alternatives.

Our professionals have prepared a wide variety of Deed Notice documents and CEA proposals in a wide variety of site settings and we have negotiated the terms and conditions with the NJDEP for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Excel can advise clients on the benefits, as well as the restrictions, associated with the Deed Notice and CEA and can recommend a variety of technical approaches which can be used to incorporate these tools into a project closure strategy.
