CSRR Rules

In New Jersey, statutes are implemented through rules that are codified in the New Jersey Administrative Code. DEP rules are codified in Title 7 of the Code.

The following list of rules contains links to “courtesy copies” of the documents, in PDF format, that can be accessed with a compatible software, such as the free reader available from Adobe. To get official copies and the regulatory history of the rule, check the information about how to get copies of the Department’s rules. The statute(s) that a particular rule implements are listed under “Authority” on the front page of each rule. The NJ Legislature Web site offers New Jersey Statutes online. Select the link for Statutes on their Web site and use the site’s lookup options.
