A
driver of a motor vehicle containing hazardous

shall ensure that the shipping paper required
by this section is readily available to, and
recognizable by, authorities in the event
of accident or inspection. Specifically, the
driver and the carrier shall clearly distinguish
the shipping paper, if it is carried with
other shipping papers or other papers of any
kind, by either distinctively tabbing it or
by having it appear first; and store the shipping
paper as follows; (i) when the driver is at
the vehicle's controls, the shipping paper

he is restrained by the lap belt; and (B)
either readily visible to a person entering
the driver's compartment or in a holder which
is mounted to the inside of the door on the
driver's side of the vehicle (ii) when the

shall properly and conspicuously display,
on both sides of the vehicle, a current New
Jersey hazardous waste decal and the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
registration number. The NJDEP registration
number shall be in letters and numbers at
least three inches in height. Current hazardous
waste decals must be permanently affixed to
each hazardous waste vehicle (the hazardous
waste cab and transport unit individually
if detachable) prior to use on a public roadway
or highway and prior to the hazardous waste
vehicle (the hazardous waste cab and transport
unit individually if detachable) being placed
into service or before receiving waste.[N.J.A.C.

notify the Department, return the NJDEP registration
certificate to the Department, and remove

licensee, or exempt transporter to which the
lessor has leased hazardous waste vehicles,
and the lessor itself, are under independent
obligations to notify the Department, return
the NJDEP registration certificate to the
Department, and remove and destroy the NJDEP
registration number and decals from the hazardous
waste vehicles of the lessor at the expiration

the decals were issued. Such decals, after
the expiration and non-renewal of the lease
pursuant to which the decals were issued or
at the expiration of the decals (whichever
comes first), shall be deemed expired. When
used for hazardous waste transportation purposes,
such vehicles may only be used pursuant to
