Participants in this two-day course are instructed in the proper procedures for enforcement including fundamentals of odor perception and measurement, investigation procedures, enforcement and penalty procedures, odor control technologies, legal issues, and case studies. Classroom exercises are conducted to develop the students’ familiarity with odor parameters including intensity, character (quality), frequency, duration, and hedonic tone.

After initial certification in this two-day course, NJDEP policy requires agency personnel take the one-day Refresher course once every three years to preserve familiarity with the various aspects of odor field enforcement and ensure legally valid investigations.
