Section 24-703. Hazardous substance list

The commissioner by regulation
  shall develop  a  list  of  hazardous  substances,  complying  with  the
  requirements  of  section  24-702(j)  of this chapter, within six months
  from enactment  of  this  section  provided  that  if  the  commissioner
  determines  than any substance on the required base list, as established
  by section 24-702(j) of this chapter, should not be placed on the  final
  promulgated list, then the commissioner shall submit a written statement
  to  the  council indicating the reason why an amendment is necessary, at
  least sixty days before the date the list is to take effect. The council
  may within thirty days following receipt of the commissioner's statement
  requesting an amendment either: (i) approve or disapprove such amendment
  or (ii) determine that an additional ten days is needed  to  study  such
  amendment by the adoption of an appropriate resolution. Upon approval by
  the  council,  such  amendment  shall  take  effect  immediately. If the
  council disapproves  such  amendment,  the  commissioner  shall  not  be
  precluded  from  resubmitting  such  amendment to the council at a later
  date. If the council does  not  approve  or  disapprove  such  amendment
  within  such  thirty day period, such amendment shall take effect on the
  thirty-first day after submission to the council unless the council  had
  determined  by resolution that an additional ten days is needed to study
  such amendment, in which case, the amendment shall take  effect  on  the
  forty-first  day after such submission to the council unless the council
  has approved or disapproved such amendment  prior  to  such  forty-first
  day.  Except  for  the substances contained on the special health hazard
  list developed pursuant to the requirements of section  24-704  of  this
  chapter,  any  substance contained on the hazardous substance list shall
  be reported to the commissioner, if such hazardous  substance  has  been
  present  at  a  facility in an amount which exceeds five hundred pounds.
  For the  reporting  period  ending  on  March  first,  nineteen  hundred
  eighty-nine,  any  mixture  present  in  a  facility  in an amount which
  exceeds five hundred pounds, shall be  reported  if  it  contains  in  a
  concentration  of  one percent or more any hazardous substance listed on
  the New Jersey Special Health Hazards List, a  subcategory  of  the  New
  Jersey Right-to-Know Hazardous Substance List (New Jersey Administrative
  Code, stat. 34: 5A-1 et seq.) as in effect in December, nineteen hundred
  eighty-seven.  For  the  reporting  period  ending March first, nineteen
  hundred ninety, any mixture present in a facility shall be  reported  in
  an  amount  which  exceeds  five  hundred  pounds  if  it  contains in a
  concentration of one tenth of one percent or more of any such  hazardous
  substance.  For  the  reporting  period  ending on March first, nineteen
  hundred ninety-one, the commissioner shall  by  regulation  establish  a
  threshold  reporting quantity for each hazardous substance and hazardous
  substances in mixture that are included on the New Jersey Special Health
  Hazards List shall be reported in the same concentration as required  in
  the previous year. If the commissioner fails to set a specific threshold
  reporting  quantity  by  March  first, nineteen hundred ninety-one, then
  each of the hazardous substances without a specific threshold  reporting
  quantity shall be reported to the commissioner if ten or more pounds are
  present at a facility.
