Course Details
Course Name: Complying with the NJ Pollution Prevention Act
Course Code: EN0701WA23
Date of Most Recent Offering: May 2, 2023
Course Overview
This class is part of the NJDEP Qualified Environmental Air Compliance Auditor Program.
The purpose of this program is to provide background on the New Jersey Pollution Prevention Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1D-35 et. seq.) and regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:1K et.seq.) to maintain compliance. You will be given a refresher on the Pollution Prevention Planning process, including specific guidance on materials accounting, units of production, and total cost accounting. You will learn how to fill out the P2 Plan Summary and P2 Progress Report. The more straightforward alternative (the P2-115 Form) to completing Section Cs and Ds of the P2 Progress Report will also be covered. Those facilities that are required to report at least one form R to the Federal TRI program are also covered by the P2 Planning requirements. Even if a facility reports on only one TRI chemical on a Form R, a plan must be prepared for all TRI chemicals used in quantities over NJ threshold.
Facilities in SIC codes 20-25, 27, 29, 31, 32, and 35-39 are required to prepare a new Plan and submit a new Plan Summary for base year 2000. All other covered SIC codes will only be required to submit progress reports for their planning requirements.
The Department will also spell out its new enforcement policy for the Pollution Prevention Rules.
