Why TERA, Inc.?

Environmental due diligence in New Jersey has changed since the introduction of the Licensed Site Remediation Program (LSRP). Many contracts now specify that an LSRP cannot perform the environmental due diligence required prior to qualify for the innocent landowner defense. TERA specializes in environmental due diligence and has elected not to enter the LSRP program. We will recommend and conduct and additional testing that may be necessary to provide a thorough review that is complies with the USEPA All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) requirements.
