As part of its efforts to address PFAS in New Jersey’s environment, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is spearheading a statewide “take back and disposal” of firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals.
In late March, the DEP will coordinate and fund the collection of approximately 18,000 gallons of aqueous film forming foam – known as AFFF, a Class B fire foam – from more than 140 municipal fire companies.
Discharge
Beginning two years after the date of enactment, no person shall discharge AFFF for training or testing purposes, unless the testing facility has implemented the appropriate containment, treatment, and disposal measures to prevent harm of any AFFF release to the environment.
