The New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)is
increasing its commitment to providing compliance assistance
for businesses. As a result, the Department has initiated
several voluntary programs to disseminate information
on applicable regulations and to provide technical support
to help facilities comply with them. NJDEP hopes that
these programs will help prevent violations and improve
compliance, which will lead to greater protection of human
health and the environment. Many of the programs strive
to facilitate cross-media awareness, encourage innovative
approaches to compliance, and provide exemptions from
penalties for violations detected during program-sponsored
site visits. Several of these programs are especially
designed to address the needs of small businesses. These
programs are summarized below. We invite you to take advantage
of the many services offered to make environmental compliance
easier for your business.
