BIR Automated Inspection and Review

Description

CSRR is looking to build an AI App which will look at the Inspectors Fact sheet, CID, and information proved in the submission of an online service for PA/SIs, RIs, RARs, and RAWs to determine if a full review or component review should be conducted.

Problem Statement

The Bureau of Inspection and Review currently (4/30/2025) has a backlog of 4,890 key documents which need an inspection and 664 key documents which require a review. In addition, an average of 419 additional key documents are submitted every month which require an inspection.

Project Justification

CSRR is tasked with overseeing the remediation of contaminated sites in New Jersey. As of March 2025, 9,293 active LSRP cases require submission of key documents for inspection and review. 100% of these submission require an inspection to determine if a more detailed review is required to ensure protection of New Jersey residents.

Estimated Transactions

419 per month

Components

Large Language Model (LLM) PegaRSP (customized service)/DEP Online

Target Rollout Date

1 November 2025

Target Rollout Date Reason

CSRR would like to automate the Inspection process, clear out the backlog of key documents needing inspection and automate the inspection of new key documents submission by the end of the year. This will help protect New Jersey residents from contaminated sites.

Weekly meeting in July and August have produced an AI App which looks at the Inspectors Fact sheet, Case Inventory Document (CID), and the step-by-step process for BIR inspection reviews to identify documents that may require further inspection and review.

The model is functioning as expected, but we need to validate its performance through testing.  BIS is currently working with BIR to identify document that fall into one of the following two categories:

  • Documents likely to fail and be flagged for further inspection and review

  • Documents likely to pass and require no further review

For each of the following Remedial Phase Documents

  1. PA

  2. PA/SI

  3. SI

  4. RIR

  5. RAW

  6. RAR

  7. RAO
