Requires continuing identification and remediation of waste tire sites.
This bill (A2912) requires anyone accumulating waste tires at a site to remove and properly dispose of them, bringing the location into compliance with environmental laws. It mandates the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to establish an annual process for identifying illegal tire sites - including inspecting junkyards, previously cleaned sites, and gathering public reports - and to issue yearly status reports on cleanup progress and costs. The DEP can also recover cleanup expenses from responsible parties or place liens on affected property. The law addresses environmental and public health risks from tire piles, such as water contamination, mosquito breeding, and fire hazards.
