Toxic Catastrophe Prevention Act (TCPA) Program
About Us
Facilities in the State of New Jersey where an extraordinarily hazardous substance (EHS) may be present or generated at or above regulatory levels are subject to the Toxic Catastrophe Prevention Act, (N.J.S.A. 13:1K-19 et seq.) and the regulations arising from the Act as codified in N.J.A.C. 7:31. The TCPA program provides assistance to covered facilities, and verifies compliance with N.J.A.C. 7:31.
