New Jersey Environmental Rules<\/h4>\n

In New Jersey, statutes are implemented through rules that are codified in the New Jersey Administrative Code (the Code) (other states and the Federal government generally refer to their rules as \u201cregulations\u201d).\u00a0 The rules that are utilized by the Department of Environmental Protection and other environmental agencies are codified at Title 7 of the Code.\u00a0 Upcoming rule proposals, hearings, adoptions, and other information concerning amendments to the rules can be found by following the appropriate links on the NJDEP Rules & Regulations home page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following list of rules contains links to “courtesy copies” of the documents, in PDF format, that can be accessed using a free reader available from Adobe<\/a>. To get official copies and the regulatory history of the rule, check the information about how to get copies of the Department\u2019s rules<\/a>. \u00a0The statute(s) that a particular rule implements are listed under \u201cAuthority\u201d on the front page of each rule.\u00a0 The New Jersey Department of State website<\/a> offers New Jersey Statutes online.\u00a0 Select the link for NJ Statutes Annotated (NJSA) on the Department of State\u2019s website and use the site\u2019s lookup options.<\/p>\n
