Environmental Commission
The Environmental Commission advises the Township, Planning Board, and Zoning Board of adjustments and acts as a local watchdog for environmental problems and opportunities.
The Commission works to protect the use of natural resources, including open space preservation, water resource management, air pollution control, solid waste management, noise control, stormwater management, soil and landscape protection, and the protection of flora and fauna in general.
Meetings: January 4th, and thereafter the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the lower level conference room of the Municipal Building. There will be no meeting in July.
