Land Contacts
The "on-call" system. If you have a question relating to permitting or licensing, enforcement, or general questions, please call your nearest regional DEP office, describe your question to the receptionist, and ask to speak to the "on-call" person.
Most questions can be answered by the person on-call. If the on-call person needs assistance, he or she may speak to another staff person and get back to you, or refer you directly to another staff person. Sometimes the "on-call" person may already be helping someone else when you call. If so, he or she will call you back.
