EMERGENCY RESPONSE SPECIALIST (State)

Responds when something is released that should not have been: a tanker spill, a leaking drum, a discharge reaching a waterway. New Jersey requires those reports and runs a hotline to take them, and the response is a State function rather than a municipal one.

The work is unscheduled by nature, and positions in this family are appointed rather than drawn from a standing list.
