What is the New Jersey Licensed Site Remediation Professionals Association (LSRPA)?
The LSRPA is recognized as the primary industry advocacy group for remediation practitioners in New Jersey. We are a non-profit entity incorporated in the State of New Jersey in March 2009. The Association is a 501(c)6 trade organization under federal IRS regulations. LSRPA members have been and remain leading contributors to the legislative and regulatory stakeholder processes using our technical expertise as practitioners and are involved in a variety of areas including commenting on draft rules developed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), expanding the breadth of guidance documents prepared in conjunction with the NJDEP and continuing to advance the concept of the use of professional judgment by practitioners. LSRPA interacts regularly with NJDEP multiple formats to achieve our mutual goal of the protection of public health and safety and of the environment in as practicable a manner as possible.
