The Construction Containment and Pollution Prevention Act mandates that contractors implement specific measures to prevent the release of pollutants, such as dust, debris, and microplastics, from construction sites. Contractors are required to use containment devices, including vacuum attachments, wet-cutting systems, tarps, and enclosures, to minimize environmental impact. Additionally, they must conduct daily cleanups of generated waste and ensure proper disposal in accordance with the Solid Waste Management Act and local ordinances. The act also requires contractors to prepare and distribute educational materials to employees and subcontractors, detailing the act's requirements, health risks, and penalties for non-compliance.

To enforce compliance, the Department of Community Affairs and local construction officials are granted inspection authority over worksites. The act outlines a penalty structure for violations, which includes a warning for the first offense, a fine of up to $1,000 for a second violation, and up to $5,000 for subsequent violations, with each day of non-compliance considered a separate offense. The act will take effect 90 days after enactment and will apply to all construction permits issued thereafter.
