Requires certain high-traffic facilities to obtain permit from DEP and annually implement measures to reduce air pollution caused by facility.
This bill requires large distribution facilities (100,000+ square feet) or those in overburdened communities (50,000+ square feet) that generate 50+ truck trips daily to obtain a permit from New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and annually implement air pollution reduction measures. The permit program mandates facilities to earn points through specific actions like purchasing electric trucks, installing solar power, or using cleaner equipment to achieve zero emissions by 2050. Facilities must pay annual permit fees and face penalties of $10,000-$20,000 per violation for non-compliance, while the DEP will monitor compliance through truck counting, emissions monitoring, and facility inspections.
