Fair Lawn’s Environmental Commission was created in 1982 by the Municipal Ordinance. (Part I, Chapter 2, Article XVIII, Section 2-102). It is charged with the protection, development, and use of natural resources located within the Borough.

Passaic River Coalition Meeting:

The Passaic River Coalition, long an advocate for riverfront communities, is hosting a community gathering of residents from neighboring towns that share the Passaic riverfront along the upper Passaic and invite you to join us on

We want to listen and connect with you now and in the future to learn your concerns about your riverfront and other water challenges facing your community – from river access to river flooding, fishing to rowing, river vistas to riverfront restoration – and how together we may improve our waterways for all of us.

Future Meetings: TBD
