New Jersey § 58:10c-18

§ 58:10c-18.

a. The board and the department shall have the authority to enter, at reasonable times

and in a reasonable manner, any known or suspected site, vessel, or other location,

whether public or private, for the purpose of investigating, sampling, inspecting,

or copying any records, condition, equipment, practice, or property relating to activities

subject to P.L.2009, c. 60 ( C.58:10C-1 et al.). The board or the department shall seek a warrant authorizing such entry upon denial

of permission to enter. If the board or the department does not wish to provide prior notice to the inspection

or entry, a court authorized to issue search warrants may issue a warrant authorizing

entry by the board or the department upon a showing that the entry is necessary to

allow the board or the department to verify compliance with the provisions of P.L.2009, c. 60 ( C.58:10C-1 et al.), or any rule, regulation, or order adopted or issued pursuant thereto. b. Where necessary to ascertain facts relevant to, or not available at, such site,

vessel, or other location, any person shall, upon request of any officer, employee,

or duly authorized representative of the board or the department, furnish information

relating to activities subject to the provisions of P.L.2009, c. 60 ( C.58:10C-1 et al.), and shall permit the officers, employees, or authorized representatives

to have access to, and to copy, all records relating to the activities. c. If the board or the department has reason to believe that any person has made fraudulent

representations to the board or the department or has destroyed or concealed evidence

relating to any activity subject to the provisions of P.L.2009, c. 60 ( C.58:10C-1 et al.), or any rule, regulation, license, or order issued pursuant thereto, the

board or the department may seize any records, equipment, property, or other evidence

it deems necessary. d. Whenever, on basis of available information, the board finds that there is a violation

of any provision of P.L.2009, c. 60 ( C.58:10C-1 et al.), or of any rule, regulation, license, or order issued or adopted pursuant

thereto, the board may issue to a person causing or contributing, or likely to cause

or contribute, to the violation an order pursuant to the provisions of section 17

of P.L.2009, c. 60 ( C.58:10C-17 ), requiring the production or analysis of samples, requiring the production of records,

or imposing such restraints on or requiring such action by the person. Issuance of an order pursuant to this section shall not preclude, and shall not

be deemed an election to forego, any action to suspend or revoke a license, recover

damages, or seek injunctive relief, civil or criminal penalties, or any other remedy. The board shall cause notice of each order, and of the results of all adjudicatory

proceedings related thereto, to be given to the department in order to enable the

department to implement and enforce the provisions of P.L.2009, c. 60 ( C.58:10C-1 et al.) and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations.
