Requires certain warehouses to obtain air pollution control permit from DEP.
New Jersey's A1302 bill requires large warehouses (100,000+ square feet) that generate 500 or more vehicle trips daily to obtain air pollution control permits from the Department of Environmental Protection. Warehouse operators must demonstrate annual greenhouse gas emissions of no more than 100 tons (measured as carbon dioxide equivalent), including emissions from employee commutes and cargo transport, but excluding zero-emission vehicles. Operators may use verified carbon credits to offset emissions, provided the credits represent genuine carbon sequestration. The permit requirement would take effect 18 months after enactment, with violations treated as violations of New Jersey's existing Air Pollution Control Act, carrying civil penalties up to $50,000 per offense.
