Environmental
commissions are set up in New Jersey municipalities to advise
the local government and inform residents on environmental issues,
laws and programs. As they strive to protect local natural resources,
environmental commissions can:
-
Develop and maintain local databases of environmental and natural
resources;
-
Review and comment on site plans, subdivision applications and
other governmental actions;
-
Promote regional and long-range environmental planning;
- Reach
local citizens through educational programs, publications and
meetings;
- Work
with neighboring commissions and other organizations to address
regional and state-wide environmental problems;
- Play
a coordinating role among the diverse actors in environmental
protection: the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP),
Soil Conservation Districts, local planning boards, boards of
health and utilities authorities.

by county.
Essentially,
environmental commissions function as the local pipeline to state
environmental agencies and non-profit organizations. As members
of the official municipal family, they protect the public's quality
of life by protecting the environment.
