New Jersey § 13:1e-50
Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 13:1e-50, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 13:1e-50.
The Legislature finds and declares that the proper treatment, storage or disposal
of hazardous waste generated in this State is today the exception, rather than the
rule; that the improper treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste results
in substantial impairment of the environment and the public health; that insuring
the proper treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste is a public purpose in
the best interests of all citizens of this State; and that the only way to accomplish
this purpose is to provide for the siting, design, construction, operation and use
of environmentally acceptable major hazardous waste facilities. The Legislature further finds and declares that certain environmentally sensitive
areas must be preserved and therefore excluded from consideration as sites for any
major hazardous waste facilities because the risk of irreversible ecological damage,
despite the application of sound engineering practices, is too great to be tolerated. The Legislature further finds and declares that the choice of hazardous waste disposal
sites is now made, all too frequently, on an indiscriminate and illegal basis; that
it is necessary to establish a mechanism for the rational siting of hazardous waste
facilities; that the informed participation of the public and of elected and appointed
officials at all levels of government is essential to establish this mechanism; that
the proper siting, design, construction, operation and use of major hazardous waste
facilities must be provided in a timely fashion; that these facilities should be
totally or partially constructed above existing grade and physically accessible to
inspection personnel, unless such construction is technologically or economically
impracticable and the hazardous waste to be treated, stored or disposed of therein
can be effectively monitored; and that major hazardous waste facilities should be
privately operated and subject to strict governmental regulation, all as hereinafter
provided.
