a. The following chemicals or chemical compounds, in the quantities indicated, shall

constitute the initial extraordinarily hazardous substance list: hydrogen chloride

(HCl) and allyl chloride in quantities of 2,000 pounds or more; hydrogen cyanide

(HCN), hydrogen fluoride (HF), chlorine (Cl 2 ), phosphorus trichloride, and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in quantities of 500 pounds or more; and phosgene, bromine, methyl isocyanate

(MIC), and toluene-2, 4-diisocyanate (TDS) in quantities of 100 pounds or more. b. Within 60 days of the effective date of this act, the department shall develop

and issue a registration form to be completed within 120 days of the effective date

of this act, by the owner or operator of each facility in the State which at any time

generates, stores, or handles any of the extraordinarily hazardous substances on the

initial extraordinarily hazardous substance list, pursuant to subsection a. of this

section. The registration form shall provide, in addition to any other information that may

be required by the department, the following: an inventory of the extraordinarily

hazardous substance or substances generated, stored, or handled at the facility and

the quantity or quantities thereof, which inventory shall identify whether those substances

are end products, intermediate products, by-products, or waste products; a general

description of the processes and principal equipment involved in the management of

the substance or substances; a profile of the area in which the facility is situated,

including its proximity to population and water supplies; the extent to which the

risks and hazards of the processes, equipment, and operations have been identified,

evaluated, and abated, and the expertise and affiliation of the evaluators and any

direct or indirect relationship between the evaluators and the owner or operator of

the facility; and the name or names of all insurance carriers underwriting the facility's

environmental liability and workers' compensation insurance policies and the scope

of these policies, including any limitations and exclusions. c. Within 18 months of the effective date of this act, the Department of Environmental

Protection, in consultation with the Department of Health, shall develop and, after

public hearing, adopt as a regulation, pursuant to the “Administrative Procedure Act,”

P.L.1968, c. 410 ( C. 52:14B-1 et seq. ), an extraordinarily hazardous substance list. The list shall correlate the substances or compounds with the quantities thereof

required to produce the potentially catastrophic circumstance. The department shall have the power to amend, by regulation, the extraordinarily

hazardous substance list to accommodate new chemical compounds that may be developed

or reflect new information or scientific data that may become available to the department. d. Within 90 days of the adoption by the department of an extraordinarily hazardous

substance list pursuant to subsection c. of this section, the owner or operator of

each facility in the State which generates, stores, or handles any of the extraordinarily
