Technology Review

Thinking about taking the road less traveled? Want to use a non-traditional method or technology for nutrient remediation or pollution cleanup? Run that idea by DEP. Technical staff can help evaluate the method or product to determine how it stacks up to traditional methods and technologies. Subject area experts can also identify DEP permits you’ll need to put the new technology to work and suggest information you’ll need to provide to make the permitting process easier.
