(a) As directed by Acts 1989, No. 870, the Arkansas Solid Waste Fact Finding Task Force [expired] has presented its findings and proposals. The task force report identifies serious and chronic deficiencies in how solid waste is managed in this state. The report is accompanied by legislative proposals which reaffirm the state's commitment to regional solid waste management embodied in Acts 1989, No. 870, and aim, through extensive revision of current law, to make regionalization a reality. The report and the task force's legislative proposals demonstrate that the state does not have sufficient understanding or control of the overall solid waste stream to realize its goal of regional solid waste management, much less a responsible recycling and source reduction program. These goals cannot be attained if the waste streams assigned to the respective regional solid waste planning districts continue to change during the crucial planning and development stages.
(b) Federal law, 42 U.S.C. § 6941 et seq., has placed the burden of implementing regional solid waste management strategies upon the states. To this end, the General Assembly has embarked upon the difficult task of addressing the complex solid waste needs of the state on a regional basis. After giving due regard to all of the contingencies and exigencies inherent in planning a regional solid waste strategy, and after accommodating existing business expectations based upon waste streams originating from outside the Acts 1989, No. 870, regional solid waste planning districts, the General Assembly hereby enacts the following emergency measure as an essential component of its efforts to reform solid waste management in Arkansas.

The objectives of this subchapter are to assist in developing and encouraging methods for the disposal of solid waste which are environmentally sound and which maximize the utilization of valuable resources including energy and materials which are recoverable from solid waste and to encourage resource conservation. Such objectives are to be accomplished through Federal technical and financial assistance to States or regional authorities for comprehensive planning pursuant to Federal guidelines designed to foster cooperation among Federal, State, and local governments and private industry. In developing such comprehensive plans, it is the intention of this chapter that in determining the size of the waste-to-energy facility, adequate provision shall be given to the present and reasonably anticipated future needs, including those needs created by thorough implementation of [section 6962(h) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section6962/h&num=0&edition=prelim), of the recycling and resource recovery interest within the area encompassed by the planning process.
