In a letter dated September 8, 2017, to the NJ Site Remediation Professional Licensing Board (SRPLB), the LSRPA expressed concerns about proposed changes to the procedure for selection of LSRPs to be audited and requested the opportunity to address the SRPLB prior to action being taken. The agenda of the August 7, 2017 SRPLB meeting stated that the audit procedure would be modified “…to include a mixture of LSRPs picked randomly, and also identified on a non-random basis (i.e., numerous deficiencies in submissions, etc.).” In our correspondence and testimony to the SRPLB on September 11, 2017, it was noted that the LSRPA has worked cooperatively with the NJDEP Bureau of Inspections and Review (BIR) to identify and address issues encountered by both BIR and practicing LSRPs and pursuant to this, the LSRPA has been repeatedly told that NJDEP does not keep a list of LSRPs who have submitted deficient documents; this was confirmed by Assistant Commissioner Pedersen. |
