The A-901 Unit is the licensing agency, and reviews the disclosure statements to ensure the company, and all key individuals are fit to participate in the waste and soil and fill recycling industry. Once the application is reviewed, NJDEP will issue an A-901 License or a Soil and Fill Recycling License or a denial, based on the investigative findings. NJDEP also issues revocations to licensed companies who have violated the rules.

The A-901 Unit works closely with the NJ Attorney General’s Office, the NJ State Police and the NJDEP Enforcement Unit along with other Federal and State agencies. Monthly compliance workshops are also held, free of charge, to assist the regulated community in understanding compliance obligations, and the rules and regulations governing the waste industry.[/info-box-shortcode][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
