I’ve attached an image from ADS-B site since this plane (N564LM) has tracking turned off for FlightAware.  
Curious what it may be up to with two dozen passes and counting over section of South Jersey just east of Philadelphia.

LiDAR scanning? Thoughts?

Most likely surveying and imaging. The area looks too large for spraying, etc.
