This data set represents the location of sites within New Jersey that are regulated by the New Jersey Solid Waste Management Act at N.J.S.A. 13:1E-1 et seq., appropriate parts of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) codified at 40 C.F.R., the New Jersey Comprehensive Regulated Medical Waste Management Act at N.J.S.A. 13:1E-48.1 et seq, and the New Jersey Statewide Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act at N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11 et seq. The Division of Sustainable Waste Management regulates safe management of solid waste, RCRA hazardous waste, regulated medical waste (RMW), and recycling of source separated recyclable materials through guidance, technical assistance, regulations, permits, approvals, environmental monitoring, compliance evaluation and enforcement. Waste types handled at these facilities include solid waste types specified at N.J.A.C 7:26-2.13(g), hazardous waste types specified at 40 C.F.R. part 261 subparts A through D, and RMW types (classes) specified at N.J.A.C. 7:26-3A.6(a). NJDEP is authorized by EPA to administer the federal RCRA hazardous waste program. The dataset shows operating Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) Facilities, Regulated Medical Waste Facilities and Solid Waste Facilities including Landfills, Transfer Stations / Materials Recovery Facilities, and Recycling Centers classified as Class B, C, and D, Multi-class Recycling facilities accepting both Class B and C recyclable materials. Since the dataset is prepared for Environmental Justice Stressor Tool, the Recycling Centers (Class B, C, B&C, and D) has been filtered to include facilities that accept 100 tons or more per day of approved source separated recyclable materials. The dataset is generated in ArcGIS Pro based on facility address as well as Block and Lot information given. Data has been updated in 2022 using ArcGIS Pro.
