OFFICIAL SITE OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEYEmission Statement Program
The Emission Statement rule, N.J.A.C. 7:27-21, establishes regulations for the annual reporting of air contaminant emissions from stationary sources. The air contaminants reported in the emission statements include Carbon Monoxide (CO), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Ammonia (NH3), Particulate Matter (TSP, PM10, PM2.5), Lead (Pb), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4) and 49 toxic air pollutants. Emission statements provide an estimate of the actual emissions to assist in the monitoring of the State’s progress toward the emissions reduction goals and attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
The Department requires an emission statement from any facility whose actual emissions or facility wide potential to emit meet or exceed any of the following thresholds (N.J.A.C. 7:27-21.2):
- 5 tons per year of Pb
- 10 tons per year of VOC
- 25 tons per year of NOx
- 100 tons per year of any of the following – CH4, CO, NH3, PM2.5, PM10, SO2, or TSP
Check the Emission Statement Guidance Document for additional information and instructions on how to prepare and submit emission statements.

RADIUS Information for Emission Statements
RADUIS Software: The latest version of RADIUS is required for preparing and submitting emission statements. RADIUS software and other related information is available on the Department’s RADIUS webpage. Submitting Emission Statements in RADIUS: The “Submit” function in RADIUS does not automatically send the emission statement to the Department. The “Submit” function only initiates the Administrative Check and creates an export file. For details on submitting emission statements, check User Guide for Online RADIUS Submittals.
Electronic Submittal through NJDEP Online Portal: In order to remain compliant with EPA’s Federal Regulation Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMMER), emission statements cannot be submitted via e-mail. All electronic submittals must be sent through the NJDEP Online Portal, www.njdeponline.com. Alternatively, emission statements can be mailed to the Department on a CD along with a signed paper certification (Certification Form). USB flash drives are not accepted.
Transferring Emission Statement to another Computer: To transfer an emission statement file to another computer, be sure to use only the “Export” function in RADIUS. The user will not be able to import an emission statement saved outside of RADIUS that used the ‘Submit’ function.
