The mission of the LSRPA is to further the Licensed Site Remediation Profession. The Association acts as an educational and technical resource and assists its membership to use standards of care and informed professional judgment when performing the work of a LSRP in protecting public health, safety, and the environment. The LSRPA is recognized by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as the primary representative of the profession. LSRPA members are involved at all levels of the ongoing stakeholder process and have had a great influence on the development of more reasonable regulations, expanded the breadth of guidance documents prepared in conjunction with the NJDEP and continue to advance the concept of the use of professional judgment by practitioners. The LSRPA has over 400 members.

Beneduce works with a variety of clients, including real estate developers, manufacturers and industrial companies, on a daily basis, advising them on environmental laws that address underground storage tanks, hazardous waste and materials, insurance coverage, and permitting.

A significant portion of Beneduce’s practice is dedicated to aiding clients in site remediation, allowing clients to complete pending real estate transactions.
