				<title>Temporary LSRP Licenses Expire</title>
				<link>http://www.jmsorge.com/temporary-lsrp-licenses-expire.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Since the LSRP program began in New Jersey over 500 LSRPs obtained temporary status.  In 2012, the exam to achieve permanent LSRP status was finalized and has since been offered four times.  Many temporary LSRPs and candidates new to the program have taken the exam and there are now approximately 500 permanent LSRPs licensed in New Jersey.  There are, however, many temporary LSRPs that have not obtained the permanent status.  In some cases this is because the temporary LSRP chose not to pursue the permanent status, and in some cases it is because the temporary LSRP failed to pass one of the four offered exams.  It has also been determined that these temporary LSRPs that lost their status must wait at least one year from the date of their termination before they are eligible to take the examination. ]]></description>

				<title>Picking up the Pace: SRRA, LSRPs and a Shift in NJ Environmental Policy</title>
				<link>http://www.jmsorge.com/picking-up-the-pace.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ In the pre-LSRP world, property owners (i.e., Responsible Parties) and consultants worked at varied paces. Many remediation projects were
conducted under the voluntary cleanup program and even in cases where the
cleanup was required, the NJDEP rarely used enforcement measures to force
responsible parties and property owners to move expeditiously on low risk sites.  Projects would often stagnate because the necessary resources were not available or while waiting for NJDEP to respond on submissions.  ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ In July 2012 NJDEP issued letters to owners and operators of underground storage tank (UST) systems titled “Compliance Assistance Alert – Underground Storage Tank Registration Certificates.” The letters cite the State’s Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA), which stipulates that remediation of past and future discharges is the responsibility of UST owners and operators, and that a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) must be hired to oversee remediation at all regulated UST sites (including those for which tank closure reports are outstanding).  ]]></description>

				<title>PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) Soil Remediation </title>

				<description><![CDATA[ JM Sorge, Inc. (JMS) was retained by a property owner in Union County, New Jersey to complete the clearance of their property under the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA). An earlier investigation conducted by others identified polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) contamination in the onsite soil at concentrations above 50 ppm. Due to the high concentrations of PCBs, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that a Self-Implementing Cleanup and Disposal Plan (SIP) be submitted and approved before remediation of the PCB waste can commence. ]]></description>

				<title>The First New Jersey LSRP Exam </title>
				<link>http://www.jmsorge.com/the-first-lsrp-exam.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ The New Jersey Site Remediation Professional Licensing Board and the Licensed Site Remediation Professional Association (LSRPA) offered the first New Jersey LSRP exam on Monday May 14, 2012. The first exam was offered in two locations and was only open to candidates that currently hold a temporary license. The candidates were given three and one half hours to answer 165 multiple choice questions. Examinees were sworn to secrecy with regard to revealing the contents of the exam so no specifics are offered here, but suffice to say the exam ran the gamut of the regulatory requirements for site remediation in New Jersey and also covered some project management and practical financial and administrative issues.
