Site Highlights / Updates

The Office of Community Relations plays a key role in the communication of information about a range of contaminated sites in New Jersey. OCR is the primary contact for citizens to obtain information for site cleanup issues. Through its public meetings, distribution of materials, or answering general questions over the phone, OCR is available to citizens on a regular basis.

Below you will find some site highlights where OCR is involved. Check out the Community Relations Site List at www.nj.gov/dep/srp/community/sites for more sites and the community relations contacts for additional information.
