The NJDEP will be required to publish and maintain a list of overburdened communities in the state by Jan . 16 , 2021 , and that list must be updated at least every two years . The NJDEP will also be required to notify a municipality if any part of the municipality is designated as an overburdened community .

Any time you submit a permit application for a new or expanded facility or an application for the renewal of an existing facility ' s major source permit , you must : ( 1 ) prepare an environmental justice impact statement ; ( 2 ) provide the impact statement to the NJDEP , the local governing body and the clerk of the municipality in which the overburdened community is located ; and ( 3 ) conduct a public hearing in the overburdened community .

The environmental justice impact statement must assess the potential environmental and public health stressors associated with the facility , including any environmental conditions that could cause public health impacts such as asthma , cancer , elevated blood lead levels or cardiovascular disease .

The permit applicant must publish notice at least 60 days in advance of the public hearing . The notice must provide the date , time and location of the hearing , and a brief summary of the environmental justice impact statement .

The public hearing must be transcribed , and the transcript must be submitted to the NJDEP for consideration along with the permit application .
