Technical Impracticability definition
Technical Impracticability means a condition where remediation to the applicable NJDEP standards is not feasible from an engineering perspective if: current engineering methods or best available technologies designed to meet the applicable standards cannot be reasonably implemented. TI determinations can be applied to an entire site or a portion thereof. The TI determination does not relieve the responsible party of their ultimate responsibility of achieving applicable NJDEP standards. If such a determination is made, but subsequent advances in remedial technologies or changes in site conditions make achievement of the standards practicable, NJDEP reserves the authority to modify the TI determination, as appropriate. Impracticability does not equate to “no action.” When a remedial action is deemed impractical, the remediating party must put in place other measures to safeguard potential receptors in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:26E-5.1(e). (NJDEP Technical Impracticability Guidance for Groundwater Document).
Technical Impracticability means that an applicant demonstrates that it cannot fully meet one or more of the design and performance standards on-site for engineering, environmental, or safety reasons. The demonstration of technical impracticability shall be for each drainage area on-site.
Technical Impracticability means the inability to fully delineate or remediate contamination without incremental expenditures disproportionate to the incremental benefit. An example may include, without limitation, dense nonaqueous phase liquids in fractured bedrock settings.
Examples of Technical Impracticability in a sentence
The pilot testing of ISCO was shown to be effective, however, due to the presence of Dense, Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) at the site and the complexity of the karst system, the Army intends to petition for a Technical Impracticability (TI) Waiver for the DNAPL portion of the site.
