115A.18 LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; PURPOSE.
The legislature finds that proper management of hazardous waste generated in the state is
needed to conserve and protect the natural resources in the state and the health, safety, and welfare
of its citizens, that the establishment of safe commercial disposal facilities in the state may be
necessary and practicable to properly manage the waste, that this cannot be accomplished solely
by the activities of private persons and political subdivisions acting alone or jointly, and that
therefore it is necessary to provide a procedure for making final determinations on whether
commercial stabilization and containment facilities should be established in the state and on the
locations, sizes, types, and functions of any such facilities.
