South Dakota § 34A-6-1.1 - Legislative findings.
Full text of South Dakota South Dakota Codified Laws § 34A-6-1.1 — Legislative findings., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 34A-6-1.1. Legislative findings.
The Legislature finds that other states have imposed stringent standards for the proper collection and disposal of solid waste and that without such standards and enforcement of them, South Dakota could be burdened with the importation and disposal in the state of large amounts of solid waste from other states by persons and firms who may not have the capability to properly dispose of the waste or who wish to avoid the costs and requirements for proper, effective and safe disposal of such waste in the state of origin.
The Legislature finds that the disposal of large quantities of solid waste in this state will, in fact, impose additional burdens on the citizens of this state. Experience has shown that under the system of laws currently governing waste disposal in this country, this liability can be significant. For these and other reasons, the Legislature finds that it is reasonable and necessary to require that any person intending to dispose of waste in this state comply with the provisions of §§ 34A-6-1.2 to 34A-6-1.38, inclusive.
The Legislature further finds that to ensure a minimum safe level of solid waste regulation nationally, the United States Environmental Protection Agency is promulgating a comprehensive set of rules to govern the disposal of solid waste and that South Dakota must be prepared to comply with those rules.
