Members serve four-year terms without compensation and are charged with considering matters related to noise control and making recommendations to the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) on noise control regulations. They are empowered to veto the adoption, amendment or repeal of any codes, rule or regulation for the control of noise (N.J.S.A. 13:1G-18i).
