2022			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The site is a TSDF and the concentrations of chemicals in the waste process can vary from project to project. The majority of the material that the facility processes is from site remediation projects that have varying concentrations of contaminants from sources, including historical fill and historical spills.
2021			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The site is a TSDF and the concentrations of chemicals in the wastes process can vary from project to project. The majority of the material that the facility processes is from site remediation projects that have varying concentrations of contaminants, from sources including historical fill and historical spills.
2020			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - While the facility is a TSDF, Clean Earth seeks to maximize the waste streams sent to fuel blending and minimize the waste going to hazardous waste landfills or incineration. The site is a TSDF and the concentrations of chemicals in the wastes process can vary from project to project. The majority of the material that the facility processes is from site remediation projects that have varying concentrations of contaminants, from sources including historical fill and historical spills.
2019		Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.	Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Facility is a TSDF and the concentration of contaminants in waste vary and are not necessarily reflective of an increase or decrease in production, but rather the types of materials being managed and vary based on the materials received from generators.
2018		Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.	Other Environmental Practices - While the facility is a TSDF, Clean Earth seeks to maximize the waste streams sent to fuel blending and minimize the waste going to hazardous waste landfills or incineration. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The site is a TSDF and the concentrations of chemicals in the wastes process can vary from project to project. The majority of the material that the facility processes is from site remediation projects that have varying concentrations of contaminants, from sources including historical fill and historical spills. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - The site is a TSDF and the concentrations of chemicals in the wastes process can vary from project to project. The majority of the material that the facility processes is from site remediation projects that have varying concentrations of contaminants, from sources including historical fill and historical spills.
2016			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - The facility is a RCRA TSDF and the more waste streams received, the more profits. Campaign remediation projects vary from year to year.
2014			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Clean Earth of North Jersey is a RCRA TSDF. The types, concentrations and volumes of waste streams varies from year to year. The generators are responsible for waste reduction. Clean Earth does try and minimize the material that goes to landfill and does try and identify recycling or alternative uses - like fuel blending.
2013			Barriers to P2 - Clean Earth of North Jersey is a RCRA TSDF and the more waste the facility receives, the more profits. The generators are responsible for any waste stream reductions. The majority of the waste received is from one time remediation projects. Other Barriers to Source Reduction - Clean Earth of North Jersey is a RCRA TSDF and the more waste the facility receives, the more profits. The generators are responsible for any waste stream reductions. The majority of the waste received is from one time remediation projects.
2012			Other Barriers to Source Reduction - CENJ is a RCRA TSDF and the amount of waste received on a yearly basis will vary. CENJ recycles all wastes possible, including fuel blending and alternative fuels. There are certain waste streams that cannot be recycled and must be landfilled.

TRI Pollution Prevention Glossary

The Waste Management Hierarchy

The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes. The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.

Source Reduction includes activities that eliminate or reduce the generation of chemical waste.
Recycling includes the recovery of a toxic chemical in waste for reuse.
Energy Recovery includes the combustion of toxic chemicals in waste to generate heat or electricity.
Treatment includes the destruction of a toxic chemical in waste.
Disposal or Other Releases includes toxic chemical quantities entering the environment.

The PPA requires facilities to provide the following details about each chemical they report to TRI:

A breakdown of production-related waste managed. This includes all amounts of the chemical released directly to the environment or otherwise managed as waste, other than waste generated by one-time events not associated with normal production processes (e.g., fires or remedial actions).
A production ratio or activity index to provide context for reported toxic chemical quantities. For example, if a chemical is used in the manufacture of refrigerators, the production index would track the number of refrigerators produced and could be used to help gauge how much of the chemical is being released per unit of production.
Any newly implemented source reduction activities, reported using "W-codes" (e.g., "W41: Increased purity of raw materials")

Facilities may also provide optional Pollution Prevention Information describing their source reduction, recycling, or pollution control activities.
