Section 7:1K-4.4 - Targeting of sources or production processes

(a) In regard to targeting of sources or production processes, the following cases are applicable:

1. The owner or operator of a priority industrial facility may choose to focus the industrial facility's pollution prevention planning resources of Pollution Prevention Plan by targeting for Part II pollution prevention planning those sources or production processes where significant progress can be made in the reduction of hazardous substances used, generated as non product output, or released at the industrial facility.

2. The owner or operator of a priority industrial facility shall target for Part II pollution prevention planning all sources or production processes that use or generate persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic (PBT) chemicals as nonproduct output at the industrial facility, if the facility level quantities are above the reporting thresholds contained at 40 CFR 372.

(b) Pursuant to (a)1 above, after preparing Part I of a Pollution Prevention Plan but prior to preparing Part II of a Pollution Prevention Plan, the owner or operator of a priority industrial facility may identify, for targeting purposes, sources or production processes which contribute:

1. Ninety percent or more of the total use of all hazardous substances at the industrial facility; or

2. Ninety percent or more of the total nonproduct output generated at the industrial facility; or

3. Ninety percent or more of the total multi-media environmental releases at the industrial facility; or

(Reserved)

(c) Once an industrial facility has identified the sources or production processes that meet the targeting criteria in (a) above, the industrial facility shall complete Part II of a Pollution Prevention Plan for each hazardous substance used, generated as nonproduct output, or released at the targeted source or production process.

(d) If an industrial facility does not identify targeted production processes using the criteria above, the industrial facility shall complete the requirements for Part II of a Pollution Prevention Plan for all sources and production processes at the industrial facility.

(e) If the owner or operator of a priority industrial facility decides to modify the industrial facility's targeting decision following the completion of the industrial facility's Pollution Prevention Plan and Plan Summary, the owner or operator shall modify the industrial facility's Pollution Prevention Plan and Plan Summary to reflect the new targeted sources and processes and shall submit the modified Pollution Prevention Plan Summary to the Department within 90 days of making such modifications, as required by N.J.A.C. 7:1K-3.9(a) 6.
