Requires owner or operator of certain trains to have discharge response, cleanup, and contingency plans to transport certain hazardous materials by rail; requires DEP to request bridge inspection reports from US DOT.

This bill requires owners or operators of "high hazard trains" (those transporting 200,000+ gallons of petroleum or 20,000+ gallons of other hazardous substances) to submit detailed discharge response, cleanup, and contingency plans to New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection within six months. The plans must include emergency response measures, equipment inventories, personnel qualifications, environmental protection strategies for sensitive areas, and annual emergency response drills. Owners/operators must also provide training to local emergency personnel and maintain evidence of financial responsibility for cleanup costs. The bill establishes civil penalties up to $25,000 per day for violations and requires the Department of Environmental Protection to annually request bridge inspection reports from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
