Regulatory Compliance Services
We guide property owners, industrial operators, and developers through the demanding regulatory frameworks of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Environmental laws are constantly changing, and non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, project delays, and frozen real estate assets.
Our experienced compliance team bridges the gap between complex government mandates and your business goals. We deliver the precise technical reports, engineering controls, and legal documentation required by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to achieve definitive site closure.
New Jersey Site Remediation Program (SRP) Deliverables
New Jersey operates under a unique, privatized site remediation model. Our team partners with multiple Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRP) to handle the strict administrative and technical requirements of the NJDEP SRP to keep your cleanup moving forward legally and efficiently.
Preliminary Assessments (PA) & Site Investigations (SI): Identifying potential areas of concern (AOCs) and determining if a hazardous discharge occurred.
Remedial Investigations (RI): Delineating the horizontal and vertical extent of contamination in soil, groundwater, and vapor.
Remedial Action Workplans (RAWP) & Reports (RAR): Designing, implementing, and documenting the final cleanup strategy.
Response Action Outcomes (RAO): Issuing the final regulatory milestone that certifies the remediation is complete.
Remedial Action Permits (RAP): Managing ongoing compliance, financial assurance, and biennial certifications for engineering and institutional controls.
Pennsylvania Act 2 (Land Recycling Program)
Pennsylvania’s Act 2 program provides a clear, flexible path to liability relief using risk-based cleanup standards. We help clients navigate this process to secure project closure and release of liability protections.
Standard Selection: Evaluating your property to select the best cleanup path: Background Standards, Statewide Health Standards, or Site-Specific Standards.
Notice of Intent to Remediate (NIR): Preparing and submitting required public notifications to initiate the Act 2 process.
Site Characterization Reports: Mapping out subsurface conditions, geology, and contaminant pathways.
Remedial Action Plans & Final Reports: Documenting the successful attainment of Act 2 standards to secure a Final Report Approval Letter from the PADEP.
Pennsylvania Act 32 (Storage Tank Spill Prevention)
If you own, operate, or buy a property with regulated underground storage tanks (USTs) or aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) in Pennsylvania, Act 32 compliance is vital when a release occurs.
Storage Tank Release Characterization: Rapidly responding to tank failures to determine the impact on surrounding soil and groundwater.
Corrective Action Process (CAP): Navigating the specific PADEP regulatory track for tank cleanups.
CAP Reports: Drafting and submitting Interim Remedial Measure (IRM) reports, Site Characterization Reports (SCR), and Remedial Action Completion Reports (RACR) specifically formatted for Act 32 auditors
