Founded in 1993, the LSPA is the non-profit, professional society for Licensed Site Professionals (LSPs, who are licensed by the Commonwealth), and other hazardous waste site cleanup professionals (attorneys, laboratory personnel, contractors, etc.) involved in the management of hazardous waste sites in Massachusetts. Through education and information, the LSPA works to support its nearly 1,000 members to achieve and maintain high standards of practice in overseeing the assessment and remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites.

Massachusetts was the first state in the nation to privatize the process for investigating and cleaning up hazardous waste sites, and in so doing greatly increased the number of properties, called Brownfields, made available for reuse and redevelopment. On average, only 22 sites a year reached regulatory closure between 1983 and 1993; since 1993, when the privatized system was implemented, LSPs have achieved that status for over 25,000 sites.

Other LSPA Board members appointed as officers are:
• President – Cole Worthy, LSP, Vice President and Senior Project Manager, Haley & Aldrich, Inc. of Boston, MA
• Treasurer – Susan Chapnick, President and Principal Scientist, New Environmental Horizons, Inc. of Arlington, MA
• President-Elect – Matt Hackman, PE, LSP, President of Matthew E. Hackman, P.E., CHMM, Inc. of Warwick, RI
