Effective May 3, 2011, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) is no longer accepting new applications for the Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Remediation, Upgrade and Closure Program for non-leaking tanks due to insufficient funds.

For the leaking tank program co-administered by the EDA and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), the NJDEP will continue to accept new applications, record their date received, and hold them until sufficient funds become available.

Applications that are already in-house will be reviewed and processed in the order that they were received and in accordance with statutory priority set forth in NJSA 58:10A-37.4 until current funding is exhausted.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE REVIEW OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROVAL REQUESTS. If you have previously submitted an application that has been approved, any supplemental funding request for that application will be reviewed and processed until such time as available funding is exhausted.

The EDA and NJDEP are aware that contractors advertise that state funding is available and tank removal and remediation can be done at no cost to homeowners. Please be advised there has never been a guarantee of funding to any UST Fund applicant.

If you have questions regarding these program changes, please call 866-534-7789.
