58:10-23.11f1 Illumination for non-daylight hazardous substance transfers
An owner or operator of a refinery, storage, transfer terminal, or pipeline facility, or a vessel that transports a hazardous substance, shall provide during non-daylight hours illumination for any transfer of the hazardous substance between the facility and such vessel, or among two or more vessels. Illumination shall be provided at each transfer connection point in use, and for adjacent facility or vessel areas, and surrounding waters. The intensity and area of illumination shall be sufficient in the estimation of the department, to permit the visual detection of a discharge of a hazardous substance into the land or waters of the State. To the extent practicable and necessary to effectuate the purposes of this section, the department may require illumination of locations at which underwater transmission pipelines emerge onto the lands of the State.
The department shall, within one year of the effective date of this act, adopt guidelines for the implementation of its provisions. The guidelines shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be consistent with applicable United States Coast Guard standards or requirements adopted for hazardous substance transfers from vessels during non-daylight hours.
The department may use monies from the New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund, as authorized pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection b. of section 9 of P.L.1976, c.141 (C.58:10-23.11h), for program costs incurred in implementing the provisions of this act.
