Are you looking to close, sell or transfer ownership of your industrial site?
What You Need to Know
New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), formerly Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act (ECRA), mandates that owners and/or operators of industrial facilities are responsible for the environmental investigation and remediation of their property, and must comply with certain stipulations set by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) prior to the closure, sale or transfer of operations.
Whitman’s staff of LSRPs are ready to assist you in navigating through the ISRA process.
What services will Whitman perform?
- Preparing the initial General Information Notice (GIN), notifying the NJDEP of the ISRA trigger event;
- Preparing a Preliminary Assessment Report (PAR), which includes a property inspection to identify Areas of Concern (AOCs);
- Preparing a Site Investigation Report (SIR), if soil and groundwater sampling are deemed necessary at any AOC;
- Preparing a Remedial Investigation Report (RIR) if further sampling was necessary to evaluate any AOC;
- Preparing a Remedial Action Work Plan (RAWP) if remediation is required for any AOC;
- Preparing a Remedial Action Report (RAR) if remediation was conducted for any AOC;
- Issuing a Response Action Outcome (RAO) letter for the facility, indicating all AOCs have been addressed and closed by the LSRP.
- Preparing a Remediation Certification and associated Remediation Funding Source calculation, which is a mechanism to allow a transaction to proceed prior to obtaining an RAO.
Whitman’s qualified staff of LSRPs are experts in guiding clients through all aspect of the ISRA process. We can help you meet the regulatory and mandatory timeframes that must be met in accordance with the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA), and we will work to obtain ISRA case closure for your property as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
