§ 32:31-9.
Article VIII. Penalties a. Each party state, consistent with federal and host state regulations and laws,
shall enforce penalties against any person not acting as an official of a party state
for violation of this compact in the party state. Each party state acknowledges that the shipment to a host state of waste packaged
or transported in violation of applicable laws and regulations can result in the imposition
of sanctions by the host state. These sanctions may include, but are not limited to, suspension or revocation of
the violator's right of access to the facility in the host state. b. Without the express approval of the commission, it shall be unlawful for any person
to dispose of any low-level waste within the region except at a regional facility;
provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to waste which is permitted
by applicable federal or state regulations to be discarded without regard to its radioactivity. c. Unless specifically approved by the commission and affected host state(s) pursuant
to Article IV, 1 it shall be a violation of this compact for: (1) any person to deposit at a regional
facility waste not generated within the region; (2) any regional facility to accept
waste not generated within the region; and (3) any person to export from the region
waste generated within the region. d. Primary responsibility for enforcing the provisions of the law will rest with the
affected state or states. The commission, upon a two-thirds vote of its members, may bring action to seek
enforcement or appropriate remedies against violators of the provisions and regulations
for this compact as provided for in Article IV. 1
