Site Assessments, Investigations and Remediation
Our team of experts assess, investigate and remediate complex environmental conditions
It is essential to identify environmental concerns as early as possible, understand the nature and extent of the contamination, and minimize the potential impact to adjacent areas. The result – contamination will be more effectively managed, minimizing the impacts to cost, schedule, and potential litigation.

Site Assessments, Investigations and Remediation Services
If our team discovers any areas of concern during the Phase I ESA/PA, they may need to perform a Phase II Site Investigation to confirm the findings of Phase I ESA/PA. If it is determined that a Phase II is necessary, our team of experts collect and analyze soil, groundwater, and/or soil vapor samples to check for evidence of contamination as a result of current or historical activities/operations. Throughout this process we clearly communicate with our clients and explain every step of the process in terms they can understand.
What is a LSRP? The State of New Jersey created the LSRP program to expedite the cleanup of contaminated properties. The LSRP program requires certain responsible parties in New Jersey to enter the program by retaining an LSRP. The program is meant to ensure timely compliance with applicable environmental regulations.
Our team of Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRPs) have a deep understanding of NJDEP guidance and are certified to guide and control the remediation of contaminated sites to completion in accordance with the most current NJDEP regulations. Learn more about our LSRP capabilities
