Requires air monitoring at certain construction projects.

S 1833 requires construction permit applicants in New Jersey to either certify minimal soil disturbance or submit an air monitoring plan for hazardous air pollutants and particulates. The bill mandates daily air testing near construction sites for pollutants like heavy metals or hydrocarbons (defined as particulates ≤10 microns or contaminated particles), with development halting immediately if levels exceed DEP-established standards. Construction permits cannot be issued without this certification or monitoring plan, which must align with rules the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will adopt within 18 months. This directly affects developers seeking permits for projects involving significant soil disturbance.
