CSRR Rules<\/h4>\n

In New Jersey, statutes<\/a> are implemented through rules that are codified in the New Jersey Administrative Code. DEP rules are codified in Title 7 of the Code.<\/p>\n

The following list of rules contains links to \u201ccourtesy copies\u201d of the documents, in PDF format, that can be accessed with a compatible software, such as the 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>. The statute(s) that a particular rule implements are listed under \u201cAuthority\u201d on the front page of each rule. The NJ Legislature Web<\/a> site offers New Jersey Statutes online. Select the link for Statutes on their Web site and use the site\u2019s lookup options.<\/p>\n
