A 4969 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for automatic approval of air pollution control permits after 90-day review period.

This New Jersey bill streamlines the permitting process for air pollution control by automatically approving applications that have not been acted upon within 90 days. It directly affects industrial facilities and equipment operators seeking to build, modify, or operate machinery that emits air contaminants. The legislation requires applicants to document how their equipment uses advanced pollution control technologies, with specific standards depending on the type and volume of emissions. Additionally, the bill allows the state department to offer a 15-year emissions reduction plan as an alternative to strict permit schedules, provided the facility meets regular milestone targets.
