Mandatory Online Pollution Prevention Plan Summary Submittal
New Jersey DEP requires the preparation
and submission of
the Pollution Prevention Plan Summary (P2 Plan Summary) using the DEP’s online portal. You can access and update previous year
information as well as create new reports, and you must submit your P2 Plan
Summary to the Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) on the Internet. The facility must first complete the
Release and Pollution Prevention Report (RPPR) online. (In the “RPPR and P2 Plan Summary Folder” the status
must be “Awaiting Certification” or “Submitted.”)

WHAT FACILITIES ARE
COVERED?
Any industrial facility in New Jersey required to submit
at least one Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) report to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) under Section 313 of the federal
Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and a
Release and Pollution Prevention Report (RPPR) under the New Jersey Worker and
Community Right to Know Act for the same chemical in two consecutive years is
covered under the New Jersey Pollution Prevention Act and regulations as long
as the reported chemical remains at or above TRI activity thresholds.
Covered
facilities must prepare a five-year Pollution Prevention (P2) Plan and submit a
P2 Plan Summary by July 1 once they
become covered (the second year they
submit an RPPR for the same chemical).. The full P2 Plan is not required to
be submitted to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). The P2 Plan remains on site at the facility
and is subject to inspection by NJDEP.
In the years following the preparation of the Plan and Plan Summary, an
RPPR containing a P2 Progress Report (the P2 115 or Sections C and D) must be
submitted by July 1.
NOTE: If the
facility is not required to submit a TRI report, but has submitted a TRI report
or an RPPR in the past, NJDEP should be notified of the facility’s present
status. It is mandatory for the facility
to provide to the Department at the address below a statement explaining why
the facility is no longer covered by the TRI reporting requirements.

WHAT ARE COVERED
FACILITIES REQUIRED TO DO?
Facilities
covered under the New Jersey Pollution Prevention Act are required to prepare
three documents in accordance with N.J.A.C.7:1K et seq. The first is a comprehensive P2 Plan that remains onsite at the
facility. The second requirement is completion and electronic submission of the
P2 Plan Summary (DEP-113). The P2 Plan Summary is, as its name
indicates, a summary of the facility’s P2
Plan. Both the P2 Plan Summary and the full P2
Plan must be completely revised every five years.
In addition to the five-year P2 Plan Summary, beginning
with the year following the completion of the P2 Plan and Plan Summary, the
third document that facilities are required to prepare is an annual P2 Progress
Report. This requirement is satisfied by the annual submission of the RPPR,
which includes the P2 Progress Report.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DEPARTMENT PERFORMS
ROUTINE INSPECTIONS TO VERIFY THAT COMPLETE AND ACCURATE P2 PLANS ARE BEING
MAINTAINED ON SITE. IN ADDITION TO THE
P2 PLAN, THE P2 PLAN SUMMARY IS A SEPARATE DOCUMENT THAT MUST BE SUBMITTED
ELECTRONICALLY TO THE NJDEP.
WHAT HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES ARE COVERED?
The
list of hazardous substances reportable on the P2 Plan Summary is the same list
as the Section 313 Toxic Chemical List that applies to the federal TRI. For electronic reporting, the system
automatically limits the substances to those reported on the RPPR. If the
facility manufactured, processed and/or otherwise used any of these hazardous
substances in quantities of 10,000 pounds or more (with all applicable
exemptions) during the base year, or above listed threshold quantities for
persistent bioaccumulative toxic (PBT) chemicals, the facility must include
them in the P2 Plan and on the P2 Plan
Summary. The substance list can also be
found at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/opppc/figdoc.htm
Pursuant
to N.J.A.C. 7:1K-3.1(h), if the sum of nonproduct output and quantity shipped
as (or in) product for that hazardous
substance does not exceed 500 pounds, determined from the value reported in
Section B of the most current RPPR, the substance shall be exempt from P2
Planning requirements. The substance
does not need to be included in the P2 Plan.
In addition, that substance does not need to be reported on the P2 Plan
Summary or the subsequent annual Progress Reports, RPPR, section C and D or
P2-115.
WHAT INFORMATION IS
CONTAINED IN THE P2 PLAN SUMMARY?
The P2 Plan Summary is based on information contained in
the facility’s P2 Plan. Completing the P2 Plan Summary entails transferring
information directly from the P2 Plan to the P2 Plan Summary. There are four sections to the P2 Plan Summary:
Section A asks for general facility
information.
Section B asks for information on the
facility’s five-year reduction goals for each covered hazardous substance at
the facility.
Section C asks for information on each
production process that uses covered hazardous substances or generates
hazardous substances as nonproduct output (NPO). Complete one section for EACH covered
production process or grouped process.
Section D asks for information on the
facility’s five-year reduction goals for those processes or grouped processes
identified in Section C that are targeted in the P2 Plan. Complete one Section D for EACH targeted
process or targeted grouped process.
SECTION A. FACILITY-LEVEL ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
New, Modification and Renewal Boxes: If this P2 Plan Summary is the first
one ever to be submitted to the Department, check the “New” box. If this P2 Plan Summary reflects a
modification to the facility’s P2 Plan during a five-year cycle, check the “Modification”
box. If this P2 Plan Summary is to be
submitted for a subsequent five-year planning cycle, check the “Renewal” box.
See “Frequently Asked Questions” on the Web at http://www.nj.gov/dep/opppc/faq.pdf to determine if modification is necessary.
1. Telephone and FAX Numbers: Enter the facility’s telephone number and FAX number
without punctuation.
2. Highest Ranking Corporate Official at Facility: Enter the name and the position or title
of the highest-ranking corporate official at this facility.
3. R&D and Pilot Plant Exemption: If
this facility has an approved NJ RTK Research & Development (R&D)Laboratory
exemption pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:1G, it will be pre-populated here. If an exemption applies but the number does
not show up here, call the Office at (609) 777-0518.
4.a. Total Number of Processes: Enter the
total number of processes that involve hazardous substances at the
facility. These processes are the ones
identified in the facility’s P2 Plan.
This number must equal the number of Section Cs in this P2 Plan Summary.
4.b. Number of Targeted Processes: Facilities may target a subset of their total production
processes. Facilities that do not target a subset of processes must target all
of their processes. One Section D is
required for each targeted process. The
criterion that a facility must use for targeting is that the number of targeted
processes must equal at least 90% of the total amount of hazardous substances
used or generated as nonproduct output or released at the
facility. Enter the number of processes
or grouped processes that the facility has targeted. Be aware that all
processes with PBTs above the reporting threshold(s) must be targeted.
4.c. Basis for Targeting: Enter
the code “U,” “N,” “R,” or “A” to indicate whether the facility chooses to
target production processes that equal at least 90% of the total USE (U),
generation of nonproduct output (N) or total environmental releases (R) of all
hazardous substances at the facility. If
a facility chooses to target all production processes, select (A) in the box.
5.
Confidential Information: Select “Yes” if the P2 Plan Summary
contains information that the facility claims is confidential and “No” if it is
not. If the facility selects “Yes,” the
facility should continue completing and submitting the P2 Plan Summary online
by leaving the confidential information blank on the rest of the forms. This
will become a public version of P2 Plan Summary of the facility.
After
submitting the public version online, the facility should print out a copy of
the P2 Plan Summary and complete all the confidential information with RED ink.
Pursuant to the N.J.A.C. 7:1K-1 et seq., the facility should follow the following steps in order to
complete the confidential submittal: 1) every page of the confidential version
should be clearly marked "CONFIDENTIAL" except for the first page
which should be marked "CONFIDENTIAL COPY"; and 2) the confidential
version should be placed in a sealed envelope marked "CONFIDENTIAL"
on both sides with facility name and ID number marked as well, enclosed in a
second envelope for mailing which shall bear no markings indicating
confidentiality, and submitted to NJDEP, Office of Pollution Prevention and
Right to Know, Station Plaza 4, 22 S. Clinton Avenue-3rd Floor, P.O. Box 443, Trenton, NJ 08625-0443
6.
Union Representative at Facility (if
applicable): Enter the
name of the union representative, Union
and Local #, and business phone number
at this facility
SECTION B. FACILITY-LEVEL INFORMATION
Complete Section B data for each covered hazardous
substance at the facility. These substances must be the same as those reported
on the RPPR.
1.
& 2. CAS number or Category number and
Hazardous Substance: Click the “Add Substance” button and select all
the substances listed. The covered
substance name and CAS number will be automatically populated.
3 Five-Year Facility-Level NPO and USE Reduction Goals:
To complete this section, refer to the facility’s P2 Plan, which must
include a section on the facility's goals for reducing USE and Nonproduct
Output (NPO). The facility’s P2 Plan should have
produced reduction goals for both the USE and NPO of hazardous
substances due to pollution prevention techniques. Record the facility-level goals here for each
hazardous substance.
3.a. Five-Year Use Reduction Goal (pounds): Enter
the five-year USE reduction goal in pounds for this substance from the
facility’s P2 Plan. This should be the difference in pounds in the amount of
the substance the facility used in the base year and the amount the facility
expects to use at the end of the planning cycle (the fifth year). State the facility’s reduction goal assuming
constant production, that is, assuming that the facility will be producing the
same quantity of product in five years as was produced in the base year. These goals should reflect planned reductions
due to pollution prevention measures only. The goals should not include reductions
resulting from discontinued operations or operations sent to another facility,
as these measures do not qualify as pollution prevention under the statutory
definition. The facility may have zero
reduction goals.
3.b. Five-Year NPO Reduction Goal (pounds): Enter the five-year NPO reduction goal in
pounds for this substance from the facility’s P2 Plan. This should be the
difference in pounds between the amount of the substance the facility generated
as NPO in the base year and the amount of NPO the facility expects to generate
at the end of the planning cycle (the fifth year). State the facility’s reduction goal
assuming constant production, that is, assuming that the facility will be
producing the same quantity of product in five years as was produced in the
base year. These goals should reflect
planned reductions due to pollution prevention measures only. The goals should not include reductions
resulting from discontinued operations or operations sent to another facility,
as these measures do not qualify as pollution prevention under the statutory
definition. The facility may have zero
reduction goals.
3.c. Five-Year Use Reduction Goal (percent):
Enter the percentage of the base year USE that the facility plans to cut by the
goal year. Find the five-year USE
reduction percent goal by doing the following calculation:
Five-year USE reduction goal (pounds) x 100 = Five-Year USE % Reduction Goal
Base year USE (pounds)
3.d. Five Year NPO Reduction Goal (percent): Enter
the percentage of the base year NPO that the facility plans to cut by the goal
year. Find the five year NPO reduction
percent goal by doing the following calculation:
Five year NPO reduction goal (pounds) x 100 = Five Year NPO % Reduction Goal
Base Year NPO (pounds)
SECTION C. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Complete one Section C for each
process or grouped process that USES, generates as NPO, or RELEASES a covered
hazardous substance. The number of these sections the facility
submits must equal the number the facility entered in Question 4.a. of Section A.
At the “Sections C &
D: Pollution Prevention Processes Folder”
Process ID: Enter the identifier, defined in the
facility’s P2 Plan, to be used to refer to the process described in this
Section throughout the facility’s P2 reporting.
The same identifier must be used in the facility’s P2 Plan, P2 Plan
Summary, and RPPR. The identifier must
be unique, applying to only one process (or grouped process). The identifier may be up to 12 characters
long and may consist of letters, numerals, or both. Do not use punctuation or spaces in your process ID.
Targeted
Processes: Indicate
"Yes" if this process was targeted in the facility’s Pollution
Prevention Plan, otherwise indicate "No.”
Remember that a facility must target any combination of processes or
sources that contribute to at least 90% of the facility’s USE, NPO or releases
and must include all processes with PBTs. Otherwise, all processes must be
targeted.
1.
Process ID: This element is
pre-populated, if this is your “Renewal” or “Modification”. Otherwise, enter
the identifier, defined by the facility in their P2 Plan, to be used to refer
to the process described in this Section throughout the facility’s pollution
prevention reporting. The same identifier must be used in the facility’s P2
Plan, P2 Plan Summary, and P2 Progress Report (RPPR Section D or P2-115). The identifier must be unique,
applying to only one process (or grouped process). The identifier may be up to
12 characters long and may consist of letters, numerals, or both. Do
not use punctuation or spaces in your Process ID.
2.a. Process Category: Indicate whether this process or grouped
process (1) manufactures a chemical, (2) manufactures an article,
(3) stores and/or handles hazardous substances, or (4) treats and/or
recycles (out-of-process) NPO. Complete
the box for the category that best fits the process or grouped process. The storage and handling process category
should be chosen when the process or grouped process is solely storage
and handling. Descriptions of these
categories are as follows.
Article
manufacturing usually
produces discrete items with an identity that is not encompassed by a specific
chemical name. Chemicals used in article
manufacturing are seldom consumed; they may be mixed and combined into an
article, or used in some way in the production of the article, such as in a
solvent cleaner or degreasing step.
Chemical
manufacturing usually
combines chemical ingredients to produce a chemical product. If this process
consumes (molecularly alters) a chemical, then it is almost always a chemical
manufacturing process.
Storage
and Handling processes
generally involve storing raw materials prior to use, storing materials
recycled on-site prior to use, storing wastes prior to disposal, storing final
product or handling hazardous substances through transfers from one area of the
facility to another. If there is a
storage and handling component of the process, choose the category that fits
the parent process rather than "storage and handling."
Treatment
Operations involve the
treatment or recycling of hazardous substances that leave a process as
NPO. These operations must be identified
when they use hazardous substances as part of the treatment or recycling
process. Treatment and recycling processes may not be grouped together with or
as part of other processes.
2.b. Mode of Operation: Indicate one mode of operation that best
describes how this process is run, either batch or continuous. For Treatment/Recycling and Storage/Handling
processes, select “Not Applicable.”
Descriptions
of the two modes of operation follow:
A batch
process will have an identifiable beginning and end over a relatively short
time frame. It will entail inputting a
set amount of raw materials at the beginning and perhaps during the process to
produce a set amount of product at the end.
Examples include the formulation of a set quantity of a certain color
pigment or a run of a particular pattern of wall covering.
A continuous
process involves a continuous flow of raw material inputs to produce a
continuous flow of outputs. An example
is the production of gasoline and other fuels from crude oil.
2.c. Specific Descriptions: For each step in the process or grouped
process, select the code corresponding to the most applicable descriptor. (See
Appendix 2.) For instance, a process
that makes adhesive tape might involve three steps: mixing an adhesive resin
with a solvent, applying this mixture to paper backing, and driving the solvent
from the tape with a dryer. The
appropriate process descriptors would be UC1, "Mixing"; AA6,
"Coating -- adhesive application"; and UA9, "Drying."
The
descriptor list includes "similar to" and "other"
categories. Use these only if another
descriptor is inadequate to identify the process step. Augment the facility’s description if
necessary in the space provided, that generically describes the step, perhaps
by indicating a term not found on the list that would suffice. Select a descriptor for each discrete step
until the entire process is described.
2.d. Hazardous substances used or generated by
this process: Select
each covered hazardous substance used or generated by this process.
3.
Targeted Processes: This element is pre-populated, if this is
your “Renewal” or “Modification”. Otherwise, indicate “Y” for “Yes” if this
process was targeted in the facility’s P2 Plan, or indicate “N” for “No.”
Remember that a facility must target any combination of processes or sources
that contribute to at least 90% of the facility’s USE, NPO or Releases and must
include all PBTs. If not, all processes must be targeted.
4.
Grouped Processes: In the P2 Plan, the facility could have
associated several processes together into a single grouped process that would
be treated as a single process for the purposes of pollution prevention
planning. Select "Yes" if this
process is a grouped process; otherwise select "No."
SECTION D. TARGETED PROCESS INFORMATION
Complete
one of these sections for each targeted production process the facility has
identified in the P2 Plan. This section summarizes 5-year USE and NPO
reduction goals for each hazardous substance used in the process. Instructions for specific questions
follow. The number of these sections
that the facility submits must equal the number the facility entered in
Question 4.b. of Section A.
1. Five-Year Reduction Goals for Hazardous
Substances used in Process or Grouped Process
Use Range: After identifying each hazardous
substance, select the USE range of the hazardous substance in this targeted
process (0-4,999 lbs.; 5,000-9,999 lbs.; 10,000-24,999 lbs.; 25,000 - 49,999 lbs.;
50,000 lbs. or more). Remember: USE =
quantity consumed + quantity shipped as (or in) product + NPO.
Five-Year Reduction Goal per Unit of
Product Percent: Enter the process-level reduction per unit of
product goals for each hazardous substance used or generated as NPO by this
targeted process, as a percentage reduction from the base year. Include reduction goals for both USE per unit
of product and NPO per unit of product.
EXAMPLE: A process that
produces metal tools presently generates 100 pounds of solvent as NPO per 1000
items. The facility’s P2 Plan goal for
this process is 10 pounds NPO per 1000 items; therefore the facility’s NPO per
unit of product goal is to move from 100/1000 (0.1) to 10/1000 (0.01). The reduction sought is a reduction from 100
pounds to 10 pounds per 1000 items, hence [(100-10)/100]*100=90%. This is an NPO reduction goal of 90%.
Estimated Date of Introduction and
Completion: For each
technique or group of techniques associated with a specific hazardous
substance, enter the estimated date when work on any of the techniques will
begin and the estimated date when any of the techniques will be completed. This
summarizes the facility’s implementation schedule. If a technique was begun prior to the base
year and implementation continues, state the date when the technique was begun.
Description
of Pollution Prevention Techniques:
For each substance, select the code(s) that describes the pollution prevention
technique(s) the facility plans to use to reduce USE or the generation of NPO
over the next five years. (See Appendix 1.)
If none of the codes adequately describes the pollution prevention
technique(s) the facility has chosen, enter the description in the box.
2.
(Optional) Raw Material Substitution Certification:
(Complete only if the facility wants to establish that raw material
substitution is not feasible.) There are
many pollution prevention techniques; raw material substitution is only one of
them. The Pollution Prevention Act
recognizes that there are situations in which a specific hazardous substance is
the only raw material that will produce a desired product. Therefore, facilities may publicly establish,
through a raw material substitution certification, that there is no way to
reduce the USE and/or NPO of a specific substance in a specific process through
substitution of a non-hazardous substance. This does not, however, excuse the
facility from looking for pollution prevention opportunities that do not
involve raw material substitution. Facilities self-certify their own raw
material substitution certification on the basis of a completed P2 Plan.
To self-certify the raw material
substitution certification in the P2 Plan Summary, a facility must:
2.a. Identify the hazardous substance(s) for
which the certification is being made.
Enter the name of one or more hazardous substances (from Question 1 of
this section).
2.b.
Explain why raw material substitution cannot be accomplished for the
hazardous substance(s). Enter a brief
narrative explanation. For instance,
"This process makes PVC pipe. The
hazardous substance vinyl chloride is an essential component of PVC."
III.
How to submit
the P2 Plan Summary
DEP regulations now require electronic submission of the
P2 Plan Summary. For electronic certification and submittal, the person who is
the responsible party must have his/her own User Profile set up (see page I), with
his/her own name under User Name. This will be the name that prints out for the
certification. The certifier should select a PIN that is easy to remember, but
that is known only to him or her.
When the P2 Plan Summary has been completed and is ready
for certification and submittal, the certifying official must access the
facility report by logging in with his/her own User ID and PIN, selecting the
“Release and Pollution Prevention Report and Pollution Prevention Plan Summary”
