New Jersey § 13:1e-64

§ 13:1e-64.

a. The local board of health or county health department, as the case may be, shall

conduct weekly inspections of major hazardous waste facilities in order to determine

compliance with the provisions of the registration statement or engineering design

for the facility and of all relevant Federal or State laws or any rule and regulation

adopted pursuant thereto. These inspections shall be conducted by the appropriate health or code enforcement

official, as the case may be, shall commence with the commencement of construction

of such facility, and shall continue for 30 years following the closure thereof. Prior to the commencement of operation of any major hazardous waste facility, the

department, in conjunction with the Department of Health, shall provide for the training

of local or county health personnel to conduct the inspections required pursuant to

this section. b. In the event that any municipal or county inspection of a major hazardous waste

facility discloses a violation of any law or rule and regulation adopted pursuant

thereto, the local board of health or the county health department, as the case may

be, may institute an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief

to restrain the violation and for such other relief as the court shall deem proper. The court may proceed in such action in a summary manner. Neither the institution of such action nor any of the proceedings therein shall

relieve any party to the proceedings from other fines or penalties prescribed by law

for the violation. One-half of any penalty imposed upon the owner or operator of a major hazardous

waste facility as the result of a violation disclosed in any municipal or county inspection

thereof shall, the provisions of any law to the contrary notwithstanding, be awarded

to the local board of health or county health department, as the case may be, which

conducted the inspection. c. The department, in consultation with the commission, shall conduct or cause to

be conducted a training program for municipal or county officials performing inspections

of major hazardous waste facilities pursuant to this section.
