Authorizes performance of supplemental environmental project to replace portion of monetary penalties for environmental violations in certain circumstances.

This New Jersey bill (A117) allows businesses or entities violating environmental laws to replace up to 75% of their civil fines (50% for Water Pollution Control Act violations) with approved "supplemental environmental projects" (SEPs). These projects - like pollution reduction or cleanup efforts - must provide measurable environmental benefits and be voluntarily proposed by the violator. The Department of Environmental Protection must review and approve each SEP, considering factors like community impact, environmental priorities, and the violator's compliance history before including it in a settlement agreement. The bill creates a formal process for substituting fines with on-the-ground environmental improvements, rather than cash payments.
