"My goal is to ensure that the Commissioner's mandate for a strong and vibrant environmental enforcement program is met. I see the best way to accomplish this is through the development of a strategic plan specific to the Compliance and Enforcement program. In our vision we seek to have businesses, communities and individuals go beyond compliance by becoming models of environmental stewardship so that New Jersey's environment is clean, safe, enjoyable, preserved and enhanced for future generations. To accomplish this vision we are actively working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations with particular emphasis on innovation and striking the proper balance between education, assistance, and enforcement. To do so will require us to gauge the value of our actions and begin the challenge of linking this to environmental results. One area where I see the Compliance and Enforcement program putting significant resources is into expanding our ability to take a holistic approach that is not limited to single media concerns. Behavior that ignores compliance or shifts problems from one area to another will not be tolerated. Striving to be more than just a strong deterrent, we will explore ways to encourage and reward those who go beyond compliance and set the example of good stewardship."
