Builders can see waivers to DEP regulations as new rule takes effect
A rule allowing the Department of Environmental Protection to consider regulatory waivers went into effect today, as the state Senate has not yet advanced a resolution to block it.
“Too many times we’ve heard of conflicting regulations — not just in the DEP, but in other agencies — which stifles economic development and creating jobs and getting the economy moving,” said Michael Egenton, senior vice president of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. “This rule gives flexibility to the DEP as it’s looking at various projects, and it will help them get through the regulatory maze in bureaucracy.” (Eder, NJBIZ)
