      Commissioner Aggarwala explains DEP's role in the complaint review process, including their authority to decide on the validity of complaints and the timelines involved.

      • DEP has 45 days to inform complainants whether they will pursue a violation
      • If DEP doesn't pursue a complaint, complainants can self-pursue through OATH
      • The process allows DEP to filter out potentially invalid complaints before they reach OATH
