The Department of Environmental Protection published notice in the December 16 PA Bulletin of proposed changes to the Land Recycling Program Technical Guidance Manual (DEP ID: 261-0300-101).  Comments are due March 16.

This is a substantive revision of the Land Recycling Program Technical Guidance Manual (TGM) made necessary because the current TGM was developed in 2002 and is outdated. Many of the procedures and processes used by the Land Recycling Program have been updated and multiple clarifications have been made.

Revising the TGM will help avoid confusion for remediators and regional office staff when assessing and remediating sites to satisfy the requirements of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).

All comments must include the commentator's name and address. Commentators are encouraged to submit comments using the Department's eComment system or by email to: ecomment@pa.gov.  Written comments should be submitted to the Technical Guidance Coordinator, Policy Office, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.

Questions regarding this guidance should be directed to Troy Conrad at 717-783-9480 or  by sending email to: tconrad@pa.gov.
