The State Cleanup Section administrates three (3) remedial programs:
The goals for the State Cleanup Section are to mitigate risk to human health and the environment through investigation, remediation, or institutional controls at sites that are either listed on the Commissioner’s Bulletin or referred remedial response sites from the Emergency Response Section or other IDEM programs. In addition, the Section is responsible for conducting both critical and non-time critical removal actions at sites where an imminent threat to public health and/or the environment exists.
House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1162 became effective on July 1, 2009.
HEA 1162 changed the remediation provisions of several statutes with particular emphasis on IC 13-25-5. IDEM is currently developing guidance for both internal staff and external stakeholders regarding IDEM’s interpretation of HEA 1162 and how IDEM will integrate its provisions into our remediation programs.
Noteworthy provisions in HEA 1162:
Providing guidance to implement HEA 1162 is one of IDEM’s top priorities. Therefore, as policy and technical issues are clarified, they will be provided, in writing, to all known interested parties and also be available on the IDEM Web page.
If you have any questions, please contact your project manager or Jeff Sewell, Section Chief of Risk Services at (317) 234-1000.
