The Environmental Commission is empowered to conduct research into the use and possible use of the open lands in the township. The commission may also recommend to the Planning Board plans and programs for inclusion in the master plan and the development and use of all open areas, publicly or privately owned. The commission also has the power to study and make recommendations concerning open space preservation, water resources management, air pollution control, solid waste management, noise control, soil and landscaping protection, environmental appearance, marine resources and protection of flora and fauna and to assist the township with respect to applications and related matters before other governmental and private entities with respect to such matters.
The commission consists of seven regular members and two alternates, appointed by the Township Council. One of the seven regular members is a member of the township’s Planning Board. Regular members serve one, two, or three year terms. Alternates serve two year terms and can only vote in the absence of a regular member. A non-voting high school student member may also be appointed to the commission.
