Who Must Report
CRTK Survey (chemical inventory data)
New Jersey employers, whose businesses
are assigned covered North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes listed
in the New Jersey Worker and Community Right
to Know regulations, are required to submit
CRTK surveys listing the environmental hazardous
substances (EHSs) present at their facilities
in quantities that exceed 500 pounds, unless
the EHS is on the federal Emergency Plannig
and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA)
Section 302 list of extremely hazardous
substances www.epa.gov/emergencies/content/epcra/
with a lower reporting threshold.
In addition, Section 312 of EPCRA requires
owners and operators of federal facilities
and private sector facilities that are subject
to the US Occupational Safety and Health
Administration's (OSHA) Hazard Communication
Standard to report their inventories of
any chemical that requires a Materials Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) and is present on site
in quantities that exceed 10,000 pounds,
unless the chemical is an Extremely Hazardous
Substance with a lower reporting threshold.
Release and Pollution Prevention Report
(environmental release and materials accounting
data)
Owners and operators of manufacturing, and
select non-manufacturing companies, having
the equivalent of 10 or more full-time employees,
and manufacturing, importing, processing
or otherwise using toxic chemicals listed
on the EPCRA Section 313 (TRI) list in quantities
that exceed specified thresholds, are required
to annually report their releases of these
chemicals for the previous year. Approximately
500 New Jersey companies are required to
file federal Toxic Chemical Release Inventory
(TRI) forms. TRI Form R requires the listing
of environmental releases, on-site waste
management and off-site transfers while
the simplified Form A Certification Statement
requires the listing of the chemical only.
These companies are also required to submit
to DEP the Release and Pollution Prevention
Report (RPPR) listing the quantities of
environmental release, on-site waste management,
waste transfer, and chemical throughput
information. Most of these facilities are
also subject to Pollution Prevention Planning
Requirements and, therefore, required to
report pollution prevention progress information
on the RPPR.
