NJSRC Postponed - New Dates Announced
The LSRPA Board and NJSRC Committee have deliberated over recent developments of COVID, and jointly concluded that it is in the best interest of the health and welfare of all of our attendees to postpone the annual New Jersey Site Remediation Conference from February to June 14 and 15, 2022.
We are happy to announce that June's Conference will remain at the Hyatt in New Brunswick. We look forward to the nicer weather and the new opportunities that the new dates will present for us.
The NJSRC is the ONLY Conference dedicated to site remediation in New Jersey. Just like past years, the 2022 Conference promises to deliver relevant courses for continuing education credits along with opportunities to network with peers and other industry professionals. There will be communication avenues with other environmental professionals and the opportunity to meet and learn from sponsors and vendors that support Licensed Site Remediation Professionals with specialized services.
When you attend this event, you will experience high-value education and training while having fun and enhancing your relationships with other professionals in your field. Our commitment is to offer you a wonderful opportunity to network with other environmental professionals while providing the convenience of adding Ethics, and Technical and Regulatory LSRP CECs, CLEs or CPCs to your roster for license renewal.

Tuesday's Courses:
LSRP Ethics (Tuesday, February 15 from 1:00pm - 5:30pm)
In response to feedback from attendees, in 2021, the LSRPA’s Professional Ethics course was revamped to expand to 4 hours to ensure adequate time to review professional ethics, regulatory compliance, and recent Licensing Board decisions. In 2022, we are introducing several new instructors to provide instructional variety and new perspectives/information for the course. This course will explore examples of conduct subject to Site Remediation Professional Licensing Board authority and provide an overview of the administrative, regulatory and technical requirements that cause compliance issues for LSRPs. The course will also provide an up-to-date assessment of Licensing Board decisions, enforcement actions and identify the specific code of conduct items that were most cited within the 12-month period. In addition, the instructors will engage the attendees with "What Would You Do" case scenarios.
