Section 22-30-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter. The Legislature finds
that the generation and management of hazardous waste is a continuing problem. Further, that
without adequate safeguards, the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal

Management seek and retain authorization to operate the State Hazardous Waste Management Program.
It is also the intent of the Legislature that the rules, regulations, guidelines and criteria
promulgated under authority of this chapter encourage...
