Requires air monitoring at certain construction projects.

This bill requires construction permit applicants in New Jersey to either certify that their project involves minimal soil disturbance or submit an air monitoring plan for hazardous air pollutants and particulates. It directly affects developers and contractors seeking construction permits under the State Uniform Construction Code Act. Key mechanisms include mandatory daily air testing for regulated pollutants (like PM10 particles or those contaminated with heavy metals), immediate work stoppage if pollution exceeds DEP-set standards, and a requirement for remediation before resuming work. The Department of Environmental Protection must establish specific monitoring rules within 18 months, including concentration limits and plan requirements.
