County Environmental Health Act (CEHA)
Each day, the
New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection's 
(DEP) environmental control efforts are
supported through partnerships with county health agencies. This partnership
was formalized in 1978 by the State Legislature through passage of landmark
legislation called the County Environmental Health Act (CEHA). The
Legislature recognized that many environmental issues are regional in nature
and county health departments are among the most efficient health units in
the State. This Act authorized the Department to certify local health
agencies to administer delegated environmental programs.
