NJ Emission Statement Rule If a facility reported through the Emission Statement rule (N.J.A.C. 7:27-21) in a prior year or was sent a reporting package for this rule by the Department and now believes it is not subject to Emission Statement reporting because the "Potential to Emit" from the facility is below all reporting thresholds for all air contaminants, the Responsible Official of the facility is required to submit a Notice of Non-Applicability to the NJ DEP by Feburary 1, and supporting documentation to the Department stating the specific reason for non-applicability.

OSHA Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses OSHA requires employers to post a summary (OSHA Form 300A - not the OSHA 300 Log) of the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2011. This summary must remain posted from February 1 to April 30, 2012, and a company executive must certify the annual summary indicating that the totals are correct and sign the form. The summary must list the total numbers of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2011 and were logged on the OSHA 300 form. Employment information about the annual average number of employees and total hours worked during the calendar year is also required to assist in calculating incidence rates. Companies with no recordable injuries or illnesses in 2011 must post the form with zeros on the total line. The summary form is to be displayed in a common area wherever notices to employees are usually posted. Employers must make a copy of the summary available to employees who move from worksite to worksite, such as construction workers, and employees who do not report to any fixed establishment on a regular basis. |

Biennial Hazardous Waste Generator Report Large quantity RCRA hazardous wastes generators (LQGs) and Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) must submit Biennial Reports every even numbered year for hazardous waste management activities in previous calendar year. The next Biennial Report form (8700-13A/B) must be submitted to the authorized state agency or the EPA Regional Office by March 1, 2012for 2011 activities. The Biennial Report includes information such as the facility's EPA ID number, the name and address of the facility, the quantity of hazardous waste sent to each TSDF in the U.S. and the manner in which the waste was treated during the previous year. Federal regulations only require large quantity generators to submit the Biennial Report. Small quantity generators (SQGs) and conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) are not subject to the federal biennial reporting requirements, but such generators should consult with their implementing agencies since states can have more stringent reporting requirements. To find out state reporting requirements, contact the applicable state agency where the waste was generated. For hazardous waste generated or processed in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, the Federal reporting requirements should be followed with Federal forms submitted to the corresponding state agency.
