NJ Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA)

NJ Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA)

Since 1987, EWMA has successfully worked with property owners, attorneys and realtors to support hundreds of real estate transactions by helping clients comply with the New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA).  This act requires filing with the State of New Jersey upon cessation of certain types of business operations and preparation of a Preliminary Assessment Report (PAR).  The report assesses potential areas of environmental concern (AOCs) that may require additional investigation and remediation prior to the sale or transfer of a property. 

We take the pressure of dealing with ISRA off of our clients.  Our environmental professionals put their decades of experience to work to find the most time and cost-efficient way to close out an ISRA case with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).  To close an ISRA case, a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) must sign off on ISRA compliance and issue a Response Action Outcome (RAO) declaration.  EWMA has LSRPs on staff with extensive ISRA compliance experience that can guide you through the ISRA process to achieve case closure via issuance of a RAO.  Our ability to understand and fast track the process can make all the difference in closing your real estate transaction.

    Earlier in 2019, the New Jersey legislature approved updates to the 2009 Site Recovery Reform Act (SRRA), a suite of improvements known collectively as SRRA 2.0.

  • How vapor intrusion is discovered and remediated

    Co-Authored by Don Richardson, President and Jacob Strauss, Senior Engineer.

    Vapor intrusion has evolved into one of the highest risks commercial real estate developers and owners face. Vapor intrusion can pose a greater risk than contaminated soil or groundwater. The rise of vapors from contaminated sources into buildings can pose an immediate risk if they reach hazardous levels.

  • Tackling post-remediation care in New Jersey

    Environmental remediation projects are rarely a one-and-done undertaking. A site may need to be monitored and maintained long after regulatory agency closure, if the active remediation did not achieve the most stringent cleanup standards.

  • Before you excavate, explore compliance attainment

    Developers may not know that there’s more than one way to tackle a soil remediation project. Many assume that this kind of cleanup calls for a total excavation, carting off truckloads of contaminated soil to be cleaned or replaced entirely. However, for some projects, such an invasive and labor-intensive process may not be necessary.

  • Advancing Complex Brownfields Redevelopment, Made Simple

    Decades of unregulated, uncontrolled and poor environmental practices have led to millions of acres of “brownfields” in the U.S., properties which must be properly remediated before they are repurposed or redeveloped. These properties come in all shapes and sizes, affected by a vast array of contaminants associated with industrial operations. What is a brownfield, and what makes it different from other types of contaminated sites?
