2. The existence of compact facilities within each party state.
3. The minimization of waste transportation.
4. The volumes and types of wastes projected to be generated within each party state.
5. The environmental impacts on the air, land and water resources of the party states.

d. Prepare a draft disposal plan and any update thereof, including procedures, criteria, and host states, which shall be made available in a convenient form to the public for comment. Upon the request of a party state, the Commission shall conduct a public hearing in that state prior to the adoption or update of the disposal plan.
