How New Jersey takes it
New Jersey does not take the federal Tier II form at all — it has its own Community Right to Know Survey, filed in NJDEP’s online system. Our answer is the worksheet you key from.
New Jersey does charge a filing fee, but we have not been able to read the amount from the state itself — so check it rather than taking a number from us.
This state does not take the file. Our answer works as the worksheet you type from, with the rule behind every number.
The filing is due 1 March each year and covers the calendar year before it. New Jersey does not pass it on for you — we checked. Filing closes the state’s copy only; your local committee and fire department each need their own from you.
Before you send it — what else New Jersey asks for
Sending it online is not the end. NJDEP tells you to print the submitted survey, sign it, and post a copy to four places: your police department, your fire department, your county Right to Know lead agency, and your LEPC. And there is no paper route — surveys are only accepted online, so leave time to register for NJDEP Online before 1 March.
Does New Jersey set its own limits?
New Jersey keeps its own, longer list of chemicals. A business in one of the industries it names reports those from 500 pounds, not 10,000.
New Jersey keeps its own, longer list of substances. A business in one of the industries the state names reports a listed substance from 500 pounds, not 10,000 — or lower, if the federal planning quantity is lower. The amount is added up across every container on the site. Other businesses use the federal numbers.
The words we read
N.J. Admin. Code 7:1G, read 2026-09-08. New Jersey keeps its own Environmental Hazardous Substance list, wider than the federal one; we have not counted either list ourselves, so we do not put a number on “wider”. § 7:1G-2.1 designates six categories of environmental hazardous substance, pulling from the federal lists: “Toxic Chemicals on the list at 40 CFR 372.65”, “Extremely Hazardous Substances on the list at 40 CFR 355 Appendix A”, selected substances in the chapter’s own Appendix A, unusually hazardous substances (Saran, PVC and Lopac), substances subject to pollution prevention planning, and “Regulated Substances on the list at 40 CFR 68.130”. The quantity is in § 7:1G-3.1(b): “A threshold of 500 pounds or the Federal SARA 302 threshold planning quantity, whichever is lower, shall apply to all EHSs present in aggregate at the facility at any one time.” Read “in aggregate” carefully — the federal test is per substance, so New Jersey’s wording can catch a site that no single substance would catch. We have not confirmed how the department applies it, so we do not compute it. NJDEP, “Who Must Report” (nj.gov/dep/enforcement/opppc/crtk/who.html), read 2026-10-12 through the Internet Archive snapshot dated 2026-04-10 because the live site refuses our requests with HTTP 403: “New Jersey employers, whose businesses are assigned covered North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes listed in the New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know regulations, are required to submit CRTK surveys listing the environmental hazardous substances (EHSs) present at their facilities in quantities that exceed 500 pounds, unless the EHS is on the federal … Section 302 list of extremely hazardous substances … with a lower reporting threshold.” NJDEP’s CRTK FAQ (revised 7/24/17, Internet Archive snapshot dated 2025-09-02) settles “aggregate”: toluene in a can, a drum and a jug that “together … exceed the reporting threshold” is reported, one entry per container type — so the amount is added up per substance across the site. On batteries: “If the aggregate amount of lead or sulfuric acid in the batteries in your forklifts, pallet jacks, and your backup power supply … meets or exceeds 500 pounds at your facility, then these substances must be reported on the CRTK Survey”; for a business with an uncovered NAICS code the lead threshold is 10,000 pounds, and “The batteries in automobiles and trucks are exempt from reporting.”

Where we read this
- NJDEP, “Community Right to Know Survey — A quick step-by-step guide to online reporting” (nj.gov/dep/enforcement/opppc/crtk/crtkguidance.pdf), read 2026-09-07: “All surveys are due by March 1st of every calendar year” · “Surveys can only be submitted and accepted electronically online” · after Submit, “please print, sign and send a copy to your local: 1.) Police Department 2.) Fire Department 3.) County Right to Know Lead Agency 4.) Local Emergency Planning Committee.”NJDEP’s CRTK survey page and registration instructions, read 2026-09-12: the portal is named “NJDEP Online” — “To submit your Community Right to Know Survey online, go to www.njdeponline.com and follow the NJDEP Online New User Registration Instructions.” · “Request Access to NJDEP Online.” Nothing on those pages says the system imports an EPA Tier2 Submit file, so we do not claim ours works here. A fee is charged, but we could not confirm the rate on NJDEP’s own pages — trade summaries put it at $4 per employee with a $75 minimum, invoiced in July. Treat that as unconfirmed.Checked 2026-09-12
