A 1141 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DEP to adopt Statewide plan to reduce lead exposure from contaminated soils and drinking water.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create a statewide plan within one year to reduce public exposure to lead in soil and drinking water. The plan must use existing soil test data from cleanup sites, public water testing, and private well results to identify high-risk geographic areas and prioritize public funds for remediation. It also mandates the DEP to develop a public education program about lead health risks and prevention measures. The plan must be posted online, submitted to the legislature, and updated every five years.
