NJ DEP Bureau of Air Quality Emission Statement Rule
The Emission Statement rule (N.J.A.C. 7:27-21) establishes requirements for the annual reporting of air contaminant emissions from stationary sources. NJDEP requires emission data from all facilities that emit or have the Potential to Emit greater than or equal to the following thresholds:
- 5 tons per year of Pb
- 10 tons per year of VOC
- 25 tons per year of NOx
- 100 tons per year of any of the following -- CO, NH3, PM2.5, PM10, SO2, or TSP
A facility's Potential to Emit is determined for each air contaminant by totaling the following:
- All allowable emissions from permitted sources
- The emissions from all non-permitted sources operating at maximum capacity and assuming that the source operates for 8,760 hours per year; and
- All maximum fugitive emissions.

EPA TSCA Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) Form
The purpose of the IUR program is to collect quality screening-level, exposure-related information on chemical substances and to make that information available for use by EPA and, to the public. The IUR regulation requires manufacturers and importers of certain chemical substances included on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory to report site and manufacturing information for chemicals manufactured (including imported) in amounts of 25,000 pounds or greater at a single site. Additional information on domestic processing and use must be reported for chemicals manufactured in amounts of 300,000 pounds or more at a single site.

EPA Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI) / Form A or Form R
1990 Congress passed the Pollution Prevention Act which requires facilities to report additional data on waste management and source reduction activities to EPA under TRI. The goal of the Toxics Release Inventory Program is to provide communities with information about toxic chemical releases and waste management activities and to support informed decision making at all levels by industry, government, non-governmental organizations, and the public. The Toxics Release Inventory Program compiles the TRI data submitted by regulated facilities each year and makes the data available through the Data and Tools webpages.

NJ Release and Pollution Prevention Report (RPPR)
The Release and Pollution Prevention Report (RPPR) is used to collect information for the NJDEP Community Right to Know and Pollution Prevention programs. The RPPR gathers data on toxic chemical throughput, multi-media environmental releases, on-site waste management, and off-site transfers, collectively known as materials accounting. Pollution prevention progress information is also reported on the RPPR. The New Jersey reporting requirements for the RPPR are closely linked to the requirements for the federal Toxic Chemicals Release Inventory (TRI) pursuant to EPCRA Section 313. Any New Jersey employer required to submit a TRI form (Form R including release data or the shorter Form A Certification Statement) is also required to submit the RPPR.

NJ DEP Regulated Medical Waste
The New Jersey medical waste regulations require all medical waste generators, transporters, intermediate handlers, and destination facilities to track regulated medical waste ("RMW"), no matter how small the amount generated. All generators of RMW must complete and submit an Annual Generator Report (forms are provided by the NJDEP) to the Department for the period of June 22 through June 21 of each calendar year by June 21 of each calendar year.
