NJDEP’s CDX Process
MOA with EPA• Phase 2 - Stages 1 & 2 “all flows” data• signed internally 9/20/06• signed by EPA 10/4/06
No Grant in the NJ process• NJ has a Node & P2RTK has a data management system• NJDEP has an Office of Information Resources Tech.• allocated $14,600 for TRI database design
Oct. 2006 - mid-Jan. 2007:a period of relative inactivity
NJ’s CDX Process
Emailed about 450 of the 2005 TRI contacts - end of April/early May; Nora Lopez’s help!
CDX came on board (“live”) May 15, 2007
NJDEP’s 1st Incoming Node Activity
80% Response Rate!
Tremendous reduction in disks & paper forms
Favorable response from industry
Benefits & Rewards!
Attaboys & a pat-on-the back!
Governor’s Office - “Hot Issue”• sent from Commish’s Office to the Gov • potential to improve customer service
to the regulated community
Teamwork or Customer Service Award (?)• submitted by my Office Chief
(for Annual NJ Public Service Recognition Awards)
It will be a complete set of TRI data - something NJ has never had before this
Compliance - “any facility subject to TRI is subject to the Release & Pollution Prevention Report
NJDEP integration with Business Objects for reports, data analyses, etc.
NJDEP’s TRI CDXIt’s Not Just Another Database!
Going Beyond TRI
Release and Pollution Prevention Report (RPPR)
Materials Accounting / Mass Balance(“Chemical Use”) - within 5% margin of error
Account for the fate of all chemical use for the reporting year
Internet-based reporting only (since RY 2000) !• ePortal live link ...

RPPR Purpose & Goal
Track the use and fate of toxic chemicals
Balance of Inputs & Outputs
Calculate NonProduct Output (NPO)• aka production-related waste
Calculate “Use”• Shipped as (or in) Product + Consumed + NPO
NPO per Use is a Measure of Efficiency!
