8-7-302. Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds and it is declared that:
(1) The disposal of hazardous waste, although currently necessary for certain forms of hazardous waste, represents an inefficient use of natural resources and may present long-term threats to the environment and to the public health and safety;
(2) Technically and economically feasible treatment methods are becoming increasingly available and offer the advantages of complete destruction of hazardous waste or the recovery and reclamation of some, if not all, constituents of hazardous waste;
(3) In addition to the recovery or reclamation of natural resources, treatment of hazardous waste reduces the volume of hazardous waste which must be disposed of and thereby reduces the associated threats to the environment and to the public health and safety;
(4) Interstate cooperation is necessary to assure that the volume of hazardous waste which must be disposed of within the state is reduced through a comprehensive program which encourages and, when appropriate, requires the treatment of hazardous waste; and
(5) The Arkansas Hazardous Waste Management Act of 1979, § 8-7-201 et seq., authorizes the Division of Environmental Quality to encourage the development of interstate agreements for the management of hazardous waste and to enter into such interstate agreements, with the concurrence of the Governor.
