SR 63 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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

This Senate Resolution (SR 63) urges the federal EPA to use funds from New Jersey's Superfund settlements **exclusively for cleaning up contaminated sites in New Jersey**, rather than for administrative costs elsewhere. It specifically requests the EPA limit settlement spending on agency overhead to 10% of the settlement value, as New Jersey has 115 sites on the EPA's National Priorities List - the highest number in the U.S. This resolution does not create new law but formally asks the EPA to prioritize New Jersey's cleanup needs using state-specific settlement funds.
