Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) Compliance Assistance
In New Jersey, many industrial properties are subject to the Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) per N.J.A.C. 7:26B, formerly known as the Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act (ECRA). Transactions such as change in ownership, sale, change of operations, and cessation of operations are subject to ISRA regulations. Envirotactics provides comprehensive ISRA case management services to ensure full compliance with these regulations. Our ISRA services include:
- General Information Notifications (GIN)
- Preliminary Assessment Reports (PAR)
- Site Investigation Reports
- Remedial Action Reports
Envirotactics’ team of experts ensures that all aspects of ISRA case management are handled with the highest level of professionalism and accuracy, helping clients navigate the complexities of ISRA compliance efficiently and effectively.
Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) Services
Envirotactics is equipped to fulfill your LSRP needs, performing projects in accordance with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA). Our LSRPs are required to oversee the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites, ensuring that all projects comply with NJDEP regulations and guidance. Sites requiring LSRP oversight include, but are not limited to:
- Regulated Underground Storage Tank Sites
- Manufacturing and Industrial Sites with Discharges
- Sites with Historic Fill
- Historic Agricultural Use Sites
- Former Landfill Sites
- ISRA-Regulated Operations
- Sites with an “Immediate Environmental Concern”
Envirotactics’ LSRP services ensure that all aspects of site remediation are conducted with the highest standards of professionalism and regulatory compliance, providing clients with confidence and peace of mind throughout the remediation process.
Data Analysis & Modeling Services
Envirotactics employs advanced analytical and numerical modeling techniques for soil, groundwater, and vapor intrusion contaminant fate and transport. Our approach aims to minimize remediation costs while performing “sustainable remediation” to address environmental health risks for residential and industrial sites.
Vadose Zone Soil Contamination
To address vadose zone soil contamination, we use contaminant soil concentrations, grain-size analyses, and total organic carbon to calculate site-specific Alternative Remediation Standards (ARS).
For vadose zone soil modeling, Envirotactics utilizes:
- Soil Water Partition Equation (SWPE)
- Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP)
- SESOIL model
Additionally, we use Geographic Information System (GIS) data visualizations and Exposure Point Concentrations (EPC) calculations as per NJDEP Attainment Guidance (e.g., Thiessen Polygon method, Averages, Upper Confidence Levels of the Mean) to address soil contamination.
Groundwater Contamination
To address groundwater contamination, we use contaminant groundwater concentrations, slug test data interpretation, and fate and transport modeling to estimate the extent and duration of the Classification Exception Area (CEA). For groundwater modeling, Envirotactics employs:
- NJDEP analytical model
- AT123D model
- Numerical models MODFLOW and MT3D
Vapor Intrusion
For vapor intrusion, we use grain-size analyses and depth to groundwater to calculate site-specific ARS Groundwater Vapor Intrusion Screening Levels (GWVISL). Envirotactics' comprehensive approach ensures effective, sustainable remediation solutions that protect environmental health while minimizing costs.
Regulated & Unregulated Storage Tank Services
Envirotactics personnel have extensive experience in the removal and abandonment of USTs. Our team is OSHA and NJDEP-certified to perform tank closures and subsurface investigations, as required for the removal or investigation of both regulated and non-regulated USTs in New Jersey. We expertly manage all phases of UST projects, including:
- Tank registration
- Closure plan application
- Execution of tank removal or abandonment
- Subsurface investigations
Envirotactics ensures thorough project completion, achieving case closure through either an NJDEP No Further Action (NFA) letter or a Response Action Outcome (RAO) letter issued by one of our LSRPs. Additionally, our project managers are NJDEP-certified for UST Closure and Subsurface Evaluations, guaranteeing the highest standards of safety, compliance, and efficiency throughout the process.

Risk Based Remediation
Envirotactics leverages extensive experience in analytical and numerical vadose zone, groundwater, air dispersion, and vapor intrusion fate and transport modeling to develop comprehensive site conceptual models. Our approach addresses environmental health risks while minimizing remediation costs, enabling us to perform “sustainable remediation.” Through detailed data analysis and visualizations, we evaluate complex hydrogeologic conditions, resolve site-specific remediation challenges, and effectively communicate complex data. Our services include:
- Developing site conceptual models
- Minimizing remediation costs through sustainable remediation practices
- Evaluating complex hydrogeologic conditions
- Solving site-specific remediation issues
We present complex data clearly and effectively to clients, community groups, and regulatory agencies through detailed reports and engaging presentations. Envirotactics is committed to providing innovative and sustainable solutions for environmental remediation, ensuring informed decision-making and successful project outcomes.
Subsurface Soil and Groundwater Investigations
The investigation of contaminated properties, or properties suspected of contamination, often necessitates the sampling of both soil and groundwater to determine the extent of any potential impact. Envirotactics employs advanced techniques to ensure thorough site characterization and accurate assessment of environmental conditions.
To initially characterize the site, Envirotactics typically utilizes a hand auger or Geoprobe to install borings for the assessment of soil and groundwater. From the borings, soil samples can be collected or temporary well point points installed for the collection of groundwater samples. For more comprehensive investigations, licensed well drillers are utilized to install monitoring wells as part of the investigation of the property. Our soil and groundwater investigation process includes:
- Determining Impact Concentrations: Identifying contaminants of concern and the levels of contamination.
- Delineating the Vertical and Horizontal Extent of Contamination: Identifying the spread of contaminants in both soil and groundwater.
- Determining Groundwater Flow Direction: Understanding the movement of groundwater to predict the extent of impact.
By accurately mapping the extent of contamination and understanding both soil and groundwater conditions, Envirotactics provides critical data necessary for developing effective remediation strategies. Our thorough approach ensures precise identification and assessment of environmental impacts, enabling informed decision-making and successful environmental management.
Vapor Intrusion Assessment
Leaking underground storage tank systems and discharges from residential, commercial, or industrial operations can lead to the presence of volatile organic chemicals in contaminated soil or groundwater. These chemicals have the potential to migrate through subsurface soils and underground pathways, such as utility lines, potentially impacting the indoor air quality of nearby buildings. Envirotactics offers expert assistance with vapor intrusion guidance and compliance, providing indoor air quality investigations and sampling methods that adhere to current EPA and NJDEP guidelines.
Our services ensure that clients can effectively address and manage vapor intrusion risks, safeguarding indoor air quality and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
Waste Disposal Management
Envirotactics offers a wide range of waste disposal services to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our services include lab packaging of obsolete chemicals, bulk and drum disposal (hazardous and nonhazardous), and contaminated soil removal and disposal. We ensure that all transportation and disposal activities comply with Federal, State, and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations governing the proper disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials.
Envirotactics is committed to providing safe, efficient, and compliant waste disposal solutions, giving our clients peace of mind and ensuring the highest standards of environmental responsibility.
