§ 58:10-23.
a. The department shall identify individual or categories or classes of hazardous
liquids, or the circumstances of a transfer of a hazardous liquid for which a containment
device may be usefully and safely deployed without posing a substantial danger to
the safety of a vessel or its crew. A list of all such hazardous liquids shall be identified and published by the department
in the New Jersey Register. b. The department (1) may require all facilities or vessels either to deploy, or to
maintain on a stand-by basis a containment device during a transfer of any hazardous
liquid listed by the department pursuant to subsection a. of this section, or (2)
may require a particular facility or vessel to deploy a containment device during
transfer operations for one or more list hazardous liquids, based upon the past record
of the facility, or the owner or operator of a vessel, the nature of the hazards involved,
including the characteristics of the hazardous liquid, the size, complexity or circumstances
of the transfer, or the potential dangers to public health and safety, or to environmentally
sensitive areas in reasonable proximity to the transfer operations. c. In addition to requiring a containment device to be deployed or maintained on a
stand-by basis during transfer operations for a list hazardous liquid, the department
shall require such other equipment or chemicals to be maintained on a stand-by basis
at the site of the transfer during the transfer of a hazardous liquid from any facility
or vessel for purposes of minimizing the amount of a discharge, spill or release,
and containing, removing or mitigating the adverse effects therefrom. The provisions of this subsection shall also apply to any hazardous liquid whether
or not a list hazardous liquid. d. The discharge prevention, control and countermeasure plan, and the discharge response,
cleanup and removal contingency plan of a major facility shall set forth all of the
prevention and response measures required by the department pursuant to this act. The department may, at any time, require amendments to plan provisions for transfer
operations at a major facility in order to improve the discharge prevention and response
capabilities of a facility.
