Requires certain solid waste incinerator facilities to install baghouse filters when making certain modifications to facility.
This bill (A 2344) requires major solid waste incinerator facilities in New Jersey to install baghouse filters - fabric-based systems that capture particulate pollution - when making specific modifications or expansions to their operations. It applies only to facilities classified as "major" under air pollution laws that lack baghouse filters or equivalent systems, and does not cover existing facilities already using such filters. Key triggers include expanding facility footprint, adding new buildings, or increasing annual waste combustion by over 10% compared to the previous five years. The requirement would be enforced through permit conditions under the Air Pollution Control Act, taking effect immediately upon passage.
