Requires certain facilities that store or process automotive shredder residue to obtain DEP permit; defines "hazardous waste" to include automotive shredder residue.
This bill requires scrap processing facilities that store or handle automotive shredder residue (ASR) to obtain a permit from New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). It amends state law to define ASR - nonrecyclable residue from shredding cars and metal scrap - as "hazardous waste," subjecting it to the same regulations as other hazardous materials. The DEP must establish permit limits on ASR storage volume, height, duration, and prohibit storage near homes or critical infrastructure. The law takes effect one year after enactment, applying to all facilities processing this residue.
