\nProcessing of Damage Claims Pursuant to the Sanitary Landfill Facility Closure and Contingency Fund Act, Proposed Readoption with Amendments: N.J.A.C. 7:1I<\/p>\n
\nTake notice that the NJ Department of Environmental Protection is proposing to readopt rules, and rule amendments to the Processing of Damage Claims Pursuant to the Sanitary Landfill Facility Closure and Contingency Fund Act (Landfill Claims rules), N.J.A.C. 7:1I.\u00a0 The Legislature established the Sanitary Landfill Facility Closure and Contingency Fund (the SLF Fund) when it enacted the Sanitary Landfill Facility Closure and Contingency Fund Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1E-100 et seq., (the SLF Act) in 1981.\u00a0 The purpose of the SLF Fund is to provide compensation for damages resulting from the improper operation or closure of sanitary landfill facilities. \u00a0The fund is \u201cstrictly liable for all direct and indirect damages, no matter by whom sustained, proximately resulting from the operations or closure of any sanitary landfill.\u201d\u00a0 N.J.S.A. 13:1E-106a.\u00a0 Historically, the SLF Fund has paid claims predominantly to individual homeowners who have suffered losses due to improperly operated and improperly closed landfill facilities after the homeowners have exhausted all other reasonably available sources for compensation.\u00a0 The SLF Fund is also utilized by the Department to finance priority cleanups at severely contaminated landfill sites.<\/p>\n
