Section 7:26I-2.13 - Suspension of a license

(a) Whenever, on the basis of available information, the Board finds that an LSRP has violated the SRRA or any rule, regulation, or order adopted or issued pursuant thereto, or has knowingly made any false statement, representation, or certification in any document or information submitted to the Board or the Department, the Board may suspend the license of the LSRP.

(b) Suspension is the temporary removal of a license. When the Board has suspended an individual's license, that individual shall not be, act as, advertise as, hold himself of herself out to be, or represent himself or herself as being an LSRP until the end of the period of suspension.

(c) An individual may resume practicing as an LSRP immediately following the last day of the suspension period, if his or her license expiration date has not yet been reached.

(d) An individual whose license has expired while suspended may apply for renewal of the license pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26I-2.11 no later than 12 months after the license expiration date. If more than 12 months have passed since the license expiration date the individual may not apply for renewal of the license pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26I-2.11, but shall apply for a new license pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26I-2.4 through 2.10.

(e) When issuing the suspension, the Board may impose conditions on the reinstatement of the license including, but not limited to, a requirement for earning additional continuing education credits beyond the requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:26I-4.

(f) No later than 15 days after the date of the final order of suspension, the individual whose license has been suspended shall:

1. Notify each of his or her clients by whom he or she has been retained as an LSRP in writing, with a copy to the Board at the address in N.J.A.C. 7:26I-3.7(b), that for the duration of the suspension he or she will not be an LSRP;

2. Submit an LSRP Notification of Dismissal through the Online Business Portal at http://www.nj.gov/dep/online for each contaminated site for which he or she had submitted a Notification of Retention; and

3. Provide for the maintenance and preservation of all data, documents, records, and information concerning remediation activities at each contaminated site he or she has worked on pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26I-6.27.
