New Jersey § 13:1k-24

§ 13:1k-24.

Upon review of all registrations and accompanying materials submitted pursuant to

this section, the department shall, in cooperation with the facility owner or operator,

develop an Extraordinarily Hazardous Substance Risk Reduction Work Plan for each registered

facility without a risk management program agreed upon by the facility owner and the

department or subject to a consent agreement or administrative order entered into

pursuant to section 5 of this act. 1 The work plan shall constitute the basis for any Extraordinarily Hazardous Substance

Accident Risk Assessment required of that facility, to be performed pursuant to this

section. The work plan shall require the reporting of the identity and quantity of all extraordinarily

hazardous substances generated, stored, handled, or that could unwittingly be produced

in the event of an equipment breakdown, human error, design defect, or procedural

failure, or the imposition of an external force; the nature, age, and condition of

all the equipment and instruments involved in the handling and management of the extraordinarily

hazardous substance or substances at the facility, and the schedules for their testing

and maintenance; the measures and precautions designed to protect against the intrusions

of external forces and events, or to control or contain discharges within the facility;

the circumstances that would have to obtain in order for there to result a discharge

of an extraordinarily hazardous substance, and the practices, procedures, and equipment

designed to forestall such an event; any alternative processes, procedures, or equipment

which might reduce the risk of a release of an extraordinarily hazardous substance

while yielding the same or commensurate results, and the specific reasons they are

not employed; any training or management practices in place which impart knowledge

to relevant personnel regarding the dangers posed by a release of an extraordinarily

hazardous substance and the training provided to prepare them for the safe operation

of the facility and for unanticipated occurrences; any other preventive maintenance

measure or on-site emergency response capability or other internal mechanism developed

to safeguard against the occurrence of an accidental release of an extraordinarily

hazardous substance or any other aspect or component of the facility deemed relevant

by the department. The department may, by regulation or on a case-by-case basis, limit the scope or

detail of the work plan and the priority or frequency of review of any facility or

facility operation or component thereof where it determines, in writing, that the

action does not remove or compromise the protection required for the public interest,

and enables the department to allocate its resources more efficiently and effectively. 1
