7. The Department of Environmental Protection shall establish guidelines to establish a procedure for the designation of brownfield development areas. In establishing criteria for the establishment of a brownfield development area, the department shall require:
(1)that a brownfield development area includes at least two brownfield sites within a contiguous area;
(2)that the boundaries are consistent with the boundaries of a distinct neighborhood;
(3)broad community support for the establishment of a brownfield development area; and
(4)that the establishment of a brownfield development area will result in a benefit to the public health and safety, and the environment.
A brownfield development area shall be designated by the department, in writing, upon application by a person proposing to remediate a site or sites within the area, or upon the department's initiative.
The guidelines, and any subsequent revisions thereto, and a list of the brownfield development areas, and any subsequent revisions thereto, shall be published in the New Jersey Register. The adoption of the guidelines or of the revisions thereto, shall not be subject to the requirements of the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.).
