Site Management Plans (SMPs) & Periodic Review Reports
CORE Environmental Consultants develops and maintains Site Management Plans (SMPs) and Periodic Review Reports (PRRs) to ensure that institutional and engineering controls at remediated sites remain protective and compliant over time. These documents are critical deliverables under the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP), State Superfund, and other NYSDEC remedial programs.
We provide fully integrated support for post-remedial obligations—including inspection coordination, maintenance tracking, access controls, and regulatory submittals—aligned with DER-10 and applicable Environmental Easement conditions.
📄 What Are SMPs and PRRs?
- Site Management Plans (SMPs) define the long-term protocols for monitoring, inspections, maintenance, access restrictions, and reporting necessary to preserve the protectiveness of a site remedy.
- Periodic Review Reports (PRRs) are recurring (typically annual or every five years) reports submitted to NYSDEC confirming that remedy performance, access restrictions, and institutional/engineering controls remain in effect and effective.
Together, SMPs and PRRs form the backbone of post-remedial compliance.
🛠️ CORE’s SMP & PRR Services
We offer end-to-end services for:
- Preparation of SMPs that align with FER, RAWP, and institutional controls
- Engineering Control (EC) and Institutional Control (IC) documentation
- Site-specific inspection protocols and field forms
- Annual or 5-year PRR preparation
- Performance monitoring summaries and maintenance tracking
- Environmental Easement exhibit development and coordination
- Liaison with NYSDEC project managers
- Updates to SMPs based on site changes or additional development
🔍 Our Process
- Review of Remedial Documentation
CORE reviews the Final Engineering Report (FER), RAWP, and environmental easements to understand site-specific controls, remedy assumptions, and obligations. - SMP Development
We prepare a tailored SMP including monitoring schedules, inspection checklists, emergency procedures, IC/EC descriptions, access restrictions, and reporting timelines. - PRR Planning & Implementation
Our team performs site visits, control inspections, interviews with responsible parties, and performance data collection to prepare the PRR. - Regulatory Reporting
CORE prepares and submits PRRs with supporting documentation to NYSDEC, ensuring deadlines are met and compliance maintained. - Ongoing Management
We provide reminders, field support, and updates to the SMP/PRR as conditions evolve or new development occurs onsite.

Our Environmental Remediation Consulting Services
Remedial Investigations & Feasibility Studies (DER-10)
CORE conducts Remedial Investigations (RIs) and Feasibility Studies (FSs) in accordance with NYSDEC DER-10 to characterize contamination and evaluate cleanup alternatives. Our services include sampling plans, conceptual site models, risk assessments, and cost-benefit analyses to support the selection of effective, regulatory-approved remedial strategies.
Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) Support
CORE offers comprehensive support for Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) sites, guiding property owners and developers through investigation, remedial action planning, community outreach, and documentation. We coordinate closely with NYSDEC to secure Certificates of Completion (COCs), tax credit eligibility, and regulatory closure for redevelopment projects on environmentally impacted land.
In-Situ & Ex-Situ Remediation
CORE designs and implements both in-situ and ex-situ remediation technologies to treat contaminated soil, groundwater, and vapor at active and legacy sites. Our capabilities include excavation, chemical oxidation, bioremediation, soil vapor extraction (SVE), and stabilization techniques, selected based on cost, site access, contaminant type, and regulatory targets.
Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Systems
CORE designs vapor intrusion mitigation systems that protect indoor air quality in buildings located above contaminated subsurface environments. Our services include sub-slab depressurization system (SSDS) design, passive venting, vapor barriers, and post-installation verification sampling, all compliant with NYSDOH and NYSDEC guidance.
Groundwater Monitoring & Reporting
CORE conducts routine and long-term groundwater monitoring programs to track contaminant migration, demonstrate remedy effectiveness, and support regulatory closure. We install and sample monitoring wells, analyze results against groundwater standards, and prepare detailed reports for submission under DER-10, BCP, and Superfund oversight.
Site Management Plans (SMPs) & Periodic Review Reports (PRRs)
CORE prepares and maintains Site Management Plans (SMPs) and Periodic Review Reports (PRRs) to ensure the long-term protectiveness of institutional and engineering controls. Our reports include inspection protocols, maintenance records, and regulatory certifications that align with NYSDEC DER-10 and site-specific environmental easements.
Regulatory Closure & Coordination
CORE manages the regulatory closure process by compiling investigation and remediation data, preparing closure reports, and coordinating with NYSDEC, NYC OER, and other agencies. Our goal is to achieve No Further Action (NFA) determinations or Certificates of Completion (COCs), ensuring sites are compliant, documented, and redevelopment-ready.
Ensure Long-Term Site Compliance
tay ahead of post-remedial obligations with SMPs and PRRs designed for clarity, accuracy, and full regulatory alignment.
