New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA)

Compliance with ISRA requires an assessment of subject industrial establishments prior to a sale of property or business, or a cessation of operations.  TRC Raviv has handled more than 500 ISRA cases and is intimately familiar with the regulations, policies, and technical requirements associated with the program.  The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has developed a multi-phased approach for achieving ISRA compliance that can be both time-consuming and costly.  As a result, TRC Raviv's ISRA group, headed by former NJDEP ISRA Bureau Chief Dawn Pompeo, continually strives to streamline the ISRA process by combining and reducing investigative phases whenever possible. The identification and evaluation of potential remedial options early in the investigative process can ensure the timely selection of the most cost-effective remedial alternative. TRC Raviv has successfully used these strategies to the benefit of our clients, with the approval of the NJDEP. Our goal is to facilitate a timely ISRA compliance process while controlling costs.
