A 3130 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes spill prevention and reporting requirements for certain facilities that handle plastic pellets.

This bill requires facilities in New Jersey that produce, handle, package, or transport plastic pellets (small plastic particles used in manufacturing) to create and submit spill prevention and response plans to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) within one year. The plans must detail how facilities handle pellets, prevent spills into water or soil, and respond to incidents. Facilities must report spills within 48 hours, maintain spill records, and submit annual effectiveness reports after DEP approval. The DEP will establish rules for enforcement, including penalties for non-compliance.
