New Jersey § 13:1e-117

§ 13:1e-117.

All new solid waste facilities, other than privately-owned, noncommercial, onsite

industrial solid waste facilities which do not accept solid waste generated from any

other source and solid waste facilities used exclusively for the land disposal of

sludge, shall install and use scales to determine the gross and net tare weight of

all vehicles disposing of solid waste at these facilities. The registered operator of each new facility shall maintain a monthly record of

the weight and vehicle information for the solid waste disposed of at the facility. This information shall be forwarded to the department on a monthly basis and shall

be made available by the department for public inspection. For the purposes of this act, a “ new solid waste facility ” means any solid waste facility for which a registration statement and engineering

design has been filed with the department subsequent to the effective date of this

act. The department may adopt regulations or guidelines exempting any class of new solid

waste facility from this requirement, except that in no case shall the department

exempt any facility the total disposal design capacity of which exceeds 100,000 tons

of non-liquid solid waste, as computed by the department. All existing solid waste facilities that are identified in an approved district

solid waste management plan for operation after January 1, 1985 and which accept in

excess of 31,200 tons of non-liquid solid waste annually, as computed by the department,

shall install scales within six months of the effective date of this act. Any existing solid waste transfer station, or any solid waste transfer station for

which a registration statement and engineering design are filed after the effective

date of this act, which accepts less than 31,200 tons of non-liquid solid waste annually,

as computed by the department, shall be exempt from the provisions of this act.
