The NJDEP role in the LSRP program is to regulate responsible parties through its remediation regulations. This includes inspecting and reviewing LSRP submittals to ensure that remediation work is completed in accordance with the NJDEP’s applicable standards and regulations, and monitoring remediation timeframes to ensure that responsible parties remediate sites and property in a timely manner.
The Responsible Party’s role in the LSRP program is to remediate contaminated sites in accordance with the NJDEP’s applicable standards and regulations. Responsible parties are required to hire LSRPs that will oversee remediation and issue RAO when remediation is complete. RAOs are fully equivalent to the No Further Action (NFA) letters formerly issued by the NJDEP.
The Licensed Site Remediation Professional’s role in the LSRP program is to oversee the remediation of contaminated sites in accordance with the NJDEP’s applicable standards and regulations for responsible parties. They are subject to a strict code of conduct established by statute and regulation and must ensure that remediations are protective of public health, safety and the environment.
