It is the first rule of its kind and the strongest EJ regulation in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The law strives to ensure the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people and recognizes that those living in overburdened communities (OBCs) have historically faced a disproportionately high number of environmental and public health stressors. Across the state, 338 municipalities have at least one Census block that meets the criteria of an OBC.<br \/>\nApplicants seeking to site new major source facilities, renew major source permits, or expand existing facilities with major source permits (e.g., Title V air permits) in OBCs may face significant new requirements as a result.<\/p>\n<p>The new rules apply if three conditions are met:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The proposed or existing facility is one of eight specific facility types;<\/li>\n<li>The applicant seeks one of 13 individual permit types under NJDEP regulations; and<\/li>\n<li>The facility is located or proposed to be located in an OBC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are more than 4.9 million people that live within an OBC in New Jersey.

This regulation has the potential to significantly impact project schedules for new projects or facility expansions. If the NJDEP concludes that there is an unavoidable disproportionate impact, it can deny an application for a new facility without a compelling public interest or apply additional controls for an expansion or permit renewal of an existing facility. Therefore, identifying EJ-related concerns during the planning and permitting phase is critical for a successful project and benefits both the business and the community.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trccompanies.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact Us<\/a><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- End Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: acf\/innerpage-accordion -->\n<section class=\"fx-accordion js-accordion section-margins\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n        <div class=\"fx-accordion-flex\">\n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion-top-content js-animated-content animated-content\">\n                <div class=\"fx-accordion-top-content__inner\">\n                    <h2>New Primary Steps for Applicants<\/h2>\n<p>The EJ rule provides a roadmap of six primary steps that applicants must now follow:<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"fx-accordion-right\">\n                <div class=\"fx-accordion__panels js-animated-content animated-content\">    \n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item icon--collapse\" data-accordion-id=\"0\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"0\">Step 1 \u2013 Initial Screening<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <p>The NJDEP provides initial screening information for the OBC, including identification of the environmental and public health stressors, the appropriate geographic point of comparison, any adverse environmental or public health stressors and whether the OBC is subject to adverse cumulative stressors.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                        <article class=\"fx-accordion__panel js-accordion-item\" data-accordion-id=\"1\">\n                        <button class=\"fx-accordion__panel__toggle js-accordion-headline\" type=\"button\" data-accordion-id=\"1\">Step 2 \u2013 Preparation of EJIS<\/button>    \n                        <div class=\"fx-accordion__panel__content\">\n                            <p>The applicant proceeds with the development of the environmental justice impact statement (EJIS), including the proposing appropriate control measures to avoid or minimize contributions to environmental and public health stressors, provide a net environmental benefit, or, where appropriate, demonstrate how the project serves a compelling public interest in the OBC.<\/p>\n<p>The EJIS includes the following information:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Appropriate information related to the proposed or existing facility\u2019s physical location;<\/li>\n<li>Federal, State, and local permits possessed or required for the facility;<\/li>\n<li>The initial screening information such as adverse environmental public health stressors and adverse cumulative stressors;<\/li>\n<li>Assessment of facility impacts to environmental and public health stressors;<\/li>\n<li>A public participation plan; and<\/li>\n<li>Demonstration, including any necessary operational conditions and control measures, that the facility would avoid a disproportionate impact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The NJDEP will require a substantial amount of supplemental information for an affected facility subject to adverse cumulative stressors, which includes over 85% of OBCs, representing over 4 million people.
