    Chapter 10b:

      Section: 58:10b-31: Reimbursement of remediation costs.

          39. a. The State Treasurer shall reimburse the developer the amount of the remediation costs agreed upon in the redevelopment agreement, and as provided in sections 35 and 36 of P.L.1997, c.278 (C.58:10B-27 and C.58:10B-28) upon issuance of the certification by the director pursuant to section 36 of P.L.1997, c.278 (C.58:10B-28). The developer shall be entitled to periodic payments from the fund in an amount, in the frequency, and over the time period as provided in the redevelopment agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of sections 34 through 39 of P.L.1997, c.278 (C.58:10B-26 through C.58:10B-31), the State Treasurer may not reimburse the developer any amount of the remediation costs from the fund until the State Treasurer is satisfied that the anticipated tax revenues from the redevelopment project have been realized by the State in an amount sufficient to pay for the cost of the reimbursements.

b. A developer shall submit to the director updated remediation costs actually incurred by the developer for the remediation of the contaminated property located at the site of the redevelopment project as provided in the redevelopment agreement. The reimbursement authorized pursuant to this section shall continue until such time as the aggregate dollar amount of the agreed upon reimbursement. To remain entitled to the reimbursement authorized pursuant to this section, the developer shall perform and complete all remediation activities as may be required pursuant to the oversight document entered into with the Commissioner of Environmental Protection pursuant to section 37 of P.L.1997, c.278 (C.58:10B-29) or as may be required by the licensed site remediation professional in order to issue a response action outcome for the site. The Department of Environmental Protection may review the remediation costs incurred by the developer to determine if they are reasonable.

Reimbursable remediation costs shall include costs that are incurred in preparing the area of land whereon the contaminated site is located for remediation and may include costs of dynamic compaction of soil necessary for the remediation.
