(a) The General Assembly finds that the timely development of a comprehensive pollution prevention and waste minimization plan for the prevention and reduction of the amount of solid, hazardous, and industrial wastes produced within the state is essential to determine the scope and need for off-site waste management facilities.
(b)
(1) The General Assembly further finds that it is essential to ensure that the state fulfills its responsibilities under the federal Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 to provide for the availability of adequate capacity for the management of wastes by implementing a comprehensive pollution prevention plan.
(2) This plan should encourage the minimization of wastes produced by means of source reduction, process change, feed stock substitution, recycling, and reuse for both hazardous and nonhazardous waste streams.
(3) Waste that is generated should be minimized to the greatest practicable extent, treated on-site, and stored and recycled or disposed of so as to protect human health and the environment.
(c) The purpose of this subchapter is to prevent pollution, minimize the amount of solid, hazardous, and industrial wastes generated, and conserve energy within the state as expeditiously as possible.
