RCC, or Resource Control Consultants, is the full-service environmental consulting and engineering arm. It handles site investigation, remediation design, regulatory compliance, and field services for industrial, commercial, real estate, and institutional clients. DSR, or Dynamic Site Redevelopment, focuses specifically on the remediation and redevelopment of landfills and brownfield properties, working with municipal governments and property owners to return contaminated real estate to productive use. Both companies share the Mount Holly headquarters and operate under the Resource Renewal platform.

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a non-intrusive review of a property’s history, current conditions, and surrounding land use to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs). It typically follows ASTM Standard E1527-21 and includes a site reconnaissance, historical record review, regulatory database search, and interviews. Property owners, developers, and lenders commonly commission a Phase I ESA before a real estate transaction, refinancing, or to support certain liability protections under federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) defenses. If RECs are identified, a Phase II ESA with sampling generally follows.

In New Jersey, the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA) requires that responsible parties retain an LSRP to direct the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites under the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). An LSRP is typically required for active remediation cases, post-closure monitoring, vapor intrusion evaluations, underground storage tank cases, and Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) triggers tied to certain property transfers or operational changes. Resource Renewal offers LSRP services and supports clients from initial determinations through final regulatory closure.

A brownfield is a former or current commercial or industrial property whose redevelopment is complicated by real or suspected environmental contamination. DSR partners with municipalities, redevelopment agencies, and private developers to investigate, remediate, and return these properties to productive reuse, including landfill closure and capping projects. The approach combines technical investigation, engineering design, and regulatory coordination so the remediation strategy aligns with the planned reuse, whether that’s commercial, industrial, recreational, or mixed-use development.

Investigation typically begins with a Preliminary Assessment (PA) and, where conditions warrant, progresses to a Site Investigation (SI) and Remedial Investigation (RI) under the NJDEP Technical Requirements for Site Remediation (TRSR). Field work generally includes soil borings, monitoring well installation, direct push sampling, and laboratory analysis to delineate the nature and extent of contamination. The data drives remedy selection, whether that’s excavation, in-situ treatment, capping, or monitored natural attenuation, and supports the path to regulatory closure.

Resource Renewal is headquartered in Mount Holly, NJ, and serves clients across the eastern United States, with active project work in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio. Project density is concentrated in southern and central New Jersey communities including Mount Holly, Trenton, Camden, and Cherry Hill, and in the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area. The firm has also completed projects elsewhere in the United States for established clients.

Resource Renewal serves a defined set of professional and institutional clients: real estate developers, property owners, industrial and commercial operators, municipalities and redevelopment agencies, institutional stakeholders such as universities and hospitals, environmental counsel, contractors, and lenders conducting due diligence. The firm does not perform residential homeowner work or sell consumer environmental products. Engagements typically involve site investigation, remediation, regulatory compliance, or redevelopment with a defined scope of work.

New Jersey work follows the NJDEP Site Remediation Program framework, including the Administrative Requirements for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites (ARRCS), the Technical Requirements for Site Remediation (TRSR), and applicable LSRP-directed processes under the SRRA. The team coordinates submittals, anticipates obstacles, and aligns sampling, remedy selection, and documentation with current standards so projects move toward closure on schedule. Regulatory work in Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio follows the equivalent state framework for each jurisdiction.

Timelines vary based on site size, contaminant types, depth, regulatory pathway, and the selected remedy. A Phase I ESA is generally a several-week effort. A Phase II investigation can run a few months. A full remediation case from initial investigation to NJDEP closure can range from under a year for a straightforward site to multiple years for complex industrial properties or landfill closures. Resource Renewal’s project management approach focuses on proactive coordination to minimize regulatory delays and keep projects on schedule.

RCC celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2022 and brings decades of combined experience across environmental consulting, engineering, and remediation. Staff capabilities span Licensed Site Remediation Professionals, professional engineers, geoscientists, and field service specialists. The firm’s Mount Holly headquarters sits within the Resource Renewal Business Park, itself a brownfield redevelopment project, which reflects the platform’s commitment to the kind of work it delivers for clients.

Yes. DSR specializes in landfill remediation, closure, and redevelopment, including former municipal and industrial landfills targeted for productive reuse. Services include closure planning, gas and leachate management, post-closure monitoring, and coordination with NJDEP’s Landfill Redevelopment Program. The work often integrates with broader brownfield redevelopment plans, returning closed landfills to community uses such as parks, commercial facilities, or solar arrays.

In New Jersey, regulatory closure is reached when the LSRP issues a Response Action Outcome (RAO) confirming that the site has met applicable remediation standards under the NJDEP framework. Reaching that milestone typically requires completed investigation, remedy implementation, post-remediation sampling, institutional or engineering controls if needed, and documentation that satisfies ARRCS and TRSR. The case management approach coordinates each step so the path to RAO is documented and defensible.

Environmental work on real estate transactions often runs in parallel with legal due diligence, financing, and redevelopment planning. The team coordinates directly with environmental counsel, transactional attorneys, lenders, and development teams to align technical scope, timeline, and deliverables with the transaction schedule. Common scenarios include pre-acquisition Phase I and Phase II work, ISRA compliance for industrial property transfers, and ongoing LSRP oversight during post-closing remediation.

A typical engagement starts with a scoping conversation to understand the property, the client’s objectives, and any active regulatory triggers or transaction deadlines. From there, the team proposes a defined scope, whether that’s a Phase I ESA, a remedial investigation, an LSRP engagement, or a brownfield redevelopment plan.
