26:2C-8.53 "Diesel Risk Mitigation Fund"; money credited, use.  28. a. There is established in the Department of the Treasury a special, nonlapsing fund to be known as the "Diesel Risk Mitigation Fund." The fund shall be administered by the State Treasurer and shall be credited with: (1) constitutionally dedicated moneys; (2) such moneys as are appropriated by the Legislature; and (3) any return on investment of moneys deposited in the fund. b. Moneys in the fund may be used by the Department of the Treasury solely for: (1) reimbursements to owners of regulated vehicles or regulated equipment to reimburse the cost of required retrofit devices and the installation thereof; (2) the administrative costs incurred by the Department of Environmental Protection to implement the provisions of P.L.2005, c.219 (C.26:2C-8.26 et al.) up to $900,000 per year; and (3) the administrative costs incurred by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to implement the provisions of P.L.2005, c.219 (C.26:2C-8.26 et al.) up to $250,000 per year. c. No moneys in the fund may be made available for any costs associated with requirements imposed by P.L.2005, c.219 (C.26:2C-8.26 et al.), unless the State Treasurer certifies that the constitutionally dedicated moneys have been deposited in the fund in that year. If the moneys provided for the administrative costs of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission are not required by the commission in a given year because they exceed the amount of the administrative costs of the commission in that year, the State Treasurer shall provide those moneys unexpended for that purpose to the Department of Environmental Protection for administrative costs, provided that the administrative costs paid from the constitutionally dedicated moneys deposited in the fund do not exceed $1,150,000. d. Any owner of a regulated vehicle or piece of regulated equipment is eligible for reimbursement from the fund. Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Local Budget Law" (N.J.S.40A:4-1 et seq.) to the contrary, a county, municipality, or an authority as defined in section 3 of P.L.1983, c.313 (C.40A:5A-3) required to comply with the provisions of P.L.2005, c.219 (C.26:2C-8.26 et al.) may anticipate in its annual budget or any amendments or supplements thereto those sums to be reimbursed from the fund for the costs of retrofit devices and their installation that are required to be used in or on any regulated vehicle or piece of regulated equipment in a given year in which the county, municipality, or authority incurs the cost. For the purposes of subsection 1. of section 3 of P.L.1976, c.68 (C.40A:4-45.3) and subsection g. of section 4 of P.L.1976, c.68 (C.40A:4-45.4), the costs of retrofit devices and their installation shall be considered an amount to be received from State funds in reimbursement for local expenditures and therefore exempt from the limitation on local budgets imposed pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1976, c.68 (C.40A:4-45.2).

Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the State Treasurer, the Department of Environmental Protection, or any other State agency or department, to undertake an investigation or make any findings concerning the conduct described in subsection a. of this section.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:2C-9.3 - Findings, declarations, determinations

26:2C-9.3. Findings, declarations, determinations  1. The Legislature finds and declares that to enhance and improve the quality of the environment and to protect and foster the public health of the citizens of New Jersey it is altogether fitting and proper to allow private entities who, pursuant to law, have applied for a permit for the purpose of constructing, installing, maintaining or operating pollution control equipment or devices or for the purpose of implementing pollution prevention process modifications to commence with that construction, installation, maintenance or operation or to implement those modifications while the Department of Environmental Protection is reviewing the permit application; and that authorizing such pre-approval actions will lead to the environmental benefits that would result from the timely construction, installation, maintenance and operation of pollution control equipment or devices and the prompt implementation of pollution prevention process modifications.  The Legislature therefore determines that it is within the public interest to allow private entities who have applied for permits to construct, install, maintain or operate pollution control equipment or devices or for permits to implement pollution prevention process modifications to undertake such construction, installation, maintenance or operation or to implement such process modifications while the department is reviewing their permit application, but with the clear and full understanding that they assume all risks for their actions.

(2) Emission fees for each State fiscal year shall be based on the information reported in the emission statement year two years prior thereto.

For the purpose of calculating the initial and renewal operating permit application fee, the significant equipment listed in the operating permit application shall be assessed at $125 per piece of equipment. The operating permit application fee shall be submitted at the time of submission of the operating permit application; and (c) A fee for any significant modification in an amount calculated using a fee schedule therefor to be set forth in rules and regulations to be adopted by the department, except that no fee for a significant modification review shall exceed $50,000.
