LSRP Hiring Guide

Cleaning up a contaminated site is commonly known as "conducting remediation." Most parties that are responsible for remediation are required to hire a licensed environmental professional, better known as a Licensed Site Remediation Professional ("LSRP"), to oversee or review the remediation. Remediation is the process of identifying/investigating contamination, defining the nature and extent of the chemical that was discharged to the environment, and removing/treating the contamination.

Only an individual who has been licensed by the State of New Jersey may call himself or herself an LSRP. The New Jersey Site Remediation Professional Licensing Board ("Board") is the State entity responsible for licensing and overseeing LSRPs.

The process of hiring an LSRP is similar to the process used to hire any professional who provides a service. The Board prepared this guide for any responsible party, but especially for home owners and small business owners who are responsible for conducting remediation, to answer questions about LSRPs and their role in the remediation process. This guide also presents information to consider when hiring an LSRP.
