AR 87 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges EPA to expend funds from NJ Superfund settlements to remediate sites at issue.

This resolution urges the federal EPA to use funds from New Jersey Superfund settlements **exclusively for cleaning up contaminated sites in New Jersey**, not for administrative costs elsewhere. It specifically requests the EPA limit settlement funds spent on agency overhead to **no more than 10%** of the total settlement value. New Jersey has **829 active Superfund sites** (including 115 on the EPA's priority list) and the highest number of sites needing cleanup in the U.S. as of 2023. As a non-binding resolution, it formally asks the EPA to prioritize NJ site cleanup using settlement funds, reflecting the state's significant environmental remediation needs.
