Exempts community gardens composting on-site from certain DEP permits under specific conditions.

New Jersey S3832 exempts community gardens that operate on-site composting systems from obtaining permits from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) under certain conditions. This exemption applies to the "Solid Waste Management Act," "New Jersey Statewide Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act," "Air Pollution Control Act," and "Water Pollution Control Act." To qualify, the property must be exclusively used as a community garden, the composting system must only use vegetative waste from the garden, and all compost produced must be used on-site for the garden.
