Supplemental Environmental Projects
A Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP; NJDEP, 2017a) is an environmentally beneficial project that a violator voluntarily agrees to perform as a condition of settling an enforcement action. A Supplemental Environmental Project is an activity that the violator would not otherwise have been required to perform and which primarily benefits the public or the environment. In accordance with policy and procedures, DEP intends to work with municipal and county officials, environmental advocacy groups, and violators from the regulated community to find Supplemental Environmental Project opportunities in the Barnegat Bay watershed that are consistent with the Strategy.
- Actions: Identify and coordinate Supplemental Environmental Projects in Barnegat Bay watershed that are consistent with the Strategy
