Enactment; text
Status: in_force

The Rocky Mountain Low-level Radioactive Waste Compact, referred to as the “compact” in this section and NRS 459.008 is hereby enacted into law and entered into with all jurisdictions legally joining therein, in the form substantially as follows:

ARTICLE 1FINDINGS AND PURPOSE A. The party states agree that each state is responsible for providing for the management of low-level radioactive waste generated within its borders, except for waste generated as a result of defense activities of the Federal Government or federal research and development activities. Moreover, the party states find that the United States Congress, by enacting the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act ( Public Law 96-573 ), has encouraged the use of interstate compacts to provide for the establishment and operation of facilities for regional management of low-level radioactive waste. B. It is the purpose of the party states, by entering into an interstate compact, to establish the means for cooperative effort in managing low-level radioactive waste; to ensure the availability and economic viability of sufficient facilities for the proper and efficient management of low-level radioactive waste generated within the region while preventing unnecessary and uneconomic proliferation of such facilities; to encourage reduction of the volume of low-level radioactive waste requiring disposal within the region; to restrict management within the region of low-level radioactive waste generated outside the region; to distribute the costs, benefits and obligations of low-level radioactive waste management equitably among the party states; and by these means to promote the health, safety and welfare of the residents within the region.

ARTICLE 2DEFINITIONS As used in this compact, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: A. “Board” means the Rocky Mountain low-level radioactive waste board; B. “Carrier” means a person who transports low-level waste; C. “Disposal” means the isolation of waste from the biosphere, with no intention of retrieval, such as by land burial; D. “Facility” means any property, equipment or structure used or to be used for the management of low-level waste; E. “Generate” means to produce low-level waste; F. “Host state” means a party state in which a regional facility is located or being developed; G. “Low-level waste” or “waste” means radioactive waste, other than: (1) Waste generated as a result of defense activities of the Federal Government or federal research and development activities; (2) High-level waste such as irradiated reactor fuel, liquid waste from reprocessing irradiated reactor fuel, or solids into which any such liquid waste has been converted; (3) Waste material containing transuranic elements with contamination levels greater than 10 nanocuries per gram of waste material; (4) By-product material as defined in section 11 e. (2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 1 as amended on November 8, 1978; or (5) Wastes from mining, milling, smelting, or similar processing of ores and mineral-bearing material primarily for minerals other than radium; H. “Management” means collection, consolidation, storage, treatment, incineration or disposal; I. “Operator” means a person who operates a regional facility; J. “Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership or other legal entity, whether public or private; K. “Region” means the combined geographical area within the boundaries of the party states; and L. “Regional facility” means a facility within any party state which either: (1) Has been approved as a regional facility by the board; or (2) Is the low-level waste facility in existence on January 1, 1982, at Beatty, Nevada.

ARTICLE 3RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS A. There shall be regional facilities sufficient to manage the low-level waste generated within the region. At least one regional facility shall be open and operating in a party state other than Nevada within 6 years after this compact becomes law in Nevada and in one other state. B. Low-level waste generated within the region shall be managed at regional facilities without discrimination among the party states; provided, however, that a host state may close a regional facility when necessary for public health or safety. C. Each party state which, according to reasonable projections made by the board, is expected to generate 20 percent or more in cubic feet except as otherwise determined by the board of the low-level waste generated within the region has an obligation to become a host state in compliance with subsection D of this article. D. A host state, or a party state seeking to fulfill its obligation to become a host state, shall: (1) Cause a regional facility to be developed on a timely basis as determined by the board, and secure the approval of such regional facility by the board as provided in article 4 before allowing site preparation or physical construction to begin; (2) Ensure by its own law, consistent with any applicable federal law, the protection and preservation of public health and safety in the siting, design, development, licensure or other regulation, operation, closure, decommissioning and long-term care of the regional facilities within the state; (3) Subject to the approval of the board, ensure that charges for management of low-level waste at the regional facilities within the state are reasonable; (4) Solicit comments from each other party state and the board regarding siting, design, development, licensure or other regulation, operation, closure, decommissioning and long-term care of the regional facilities within the state and respond in writing to such comments; (5) Submit an annual report to the board which contains projections of the anticipated future capacity and availability of the regional facilities within the state, together with other information required by the board; and (6) Notify the board immediately if any exigency arises requiring the possible temporary or permanent closure of a regional facility within the state at a time earlier than was projected in the state's most recent annual report to the board. E. Once a party state has served as a host state, it shall not be obligated to serve again until each other party state having an obligation under subsection C of this article has fulfilled that obligation. Nevada, already being a host state, shall not be obligated to serve again as a host state until every other party state has so served. F. Each party state: (1) Agrees to adopt and enforce procedures requiring low-level waste shipments originating within its borders and destined for a regional facility to conform to packaging and transportation requirements and regulations. Such procedures shall include but are not limited to: (a) Periodic inspections of packaging and shipping practices; (b) Periodic inspections of waste containers while in the custody of carriers; and (c) Appropriate enforcement actions with respect to violations; (2) Agrees that after receiving notification from a host state that a person in the party state has violated packaging, shipping or transportation requirements or regulations, it shall take appropriate action to ensure that violations do not recur. Appropriate action may include but is not limited to the requirement that a bond be posted by the violator to pay the cost of repackaging at the regional facility and the requirement that future shipments be inspected; (3) May impose fees to recover the cost of the practices provided for in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection; (4) Shall maintain an inventory of all generators within the state that may have low-level waste to be managed at a regional facility; and (5) May impose requirements or regulations more stringent than those required by this subsection.

ARTICLE 4BOARD APPROVAL OF REGIONAL FACILITIES A. Within 90 days after being requested to do so by a party state, the board shall approve or disapprove a regional facility to be located within that state. B. A regional facility shall be approved by the board if and only if the board determines that: (1) There will be, for the foreseeable future, sufficient demand to render operation of the proposed facility economically feasible without endangering the economic feasibility of operation of any other regional facility; and (2) The facility will have sufficient capacity to serve the needs of the region for a reasonable period of years.

ARTICLE 5SURCHARGES A. The board shall impose a compact surcharge per unit of waste received at any regional facility. The surcharge shall be adequate to pay the costs and expenses of the board in the conduct of its authorized activities and may be increased or decreased as the board deems necessary. B. A host state may impose a state surcharge per unit of waste received at any regional facility within the state. The host state may fix and change the amount of the state surcharge subject to approval by the board. Money received from the state surcharge may be used by the host state for any purpose authorized by its own law, including but not limited to costs of licensure and regulatory activities related to the regional facility, reserves for decommissioning and long-term care of the regional facility and local impact assistance.

ARTICLE 6THE BOARD A. The Rocky Mountain low-level radioactive waste board, which shall not be an agency or instrumentality of any party state, is created. B. The board shall consist of one member from each party state. Each party state shall determine how and for what term its member shall be appointed, and how and for what term any alternate may be appointed to perform that member's duties on the board in the member's absence.

Unless otherwise provided in this compact, a majority of the total number of votes on the board is necessary for the board to take any action. D. The board shall meet at least once a year and otherwise as its business requires. Meetings of the board may be held in any place within the region deemed by the board to be reasonably convenient for the attendance of persons required or entitled to attend and where adequate accommodations may be found. Reasonable public notice and opportunity for comment shall be given with respect to any meeting; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall preclude the board from meeting in executive session when seeking legal advice from its attorneys or when discussing the employment, discipline or termination of any of its employees. E. The board shall pay necessary travel and reasonable per diem expenses of its members, alternates and advisory committee members. F. The board shall organize itself for the efficient conduct of its business. It shall adopt and publish rules consistent with this compact regarding its organization and procedures.

Any action taken by telephone shall be noted in the minutes of the board. G. The board may use for its purposes the services of any personnel or other resources which may be offered by any party state. H. The board may establish its offices in space provided for that purpose by any of the party states or, if space is not provided or is deemed inadequate, in any space within the region selected by the board. I. Consistent with available funds, the board may contract for necessary personnel services and may employ such staff as it deems necessary to carry out its duties. Staff shall be employed without regard for the personnel, civil service or merit system laws of any of the party states and shall serve at the pleasure of the board.

ARTICLE 7PROHIBITED ACTS AND PENALTIES A. It shall be unlawful for any person to dispose of low-level waste within the region, except at a regional facility; provided, however, that a generator who, prior to January 1, 1982, had been disposing of only his or her own waste on his or her own property may, subject to applicable federal and state law, continue to do so. B. After January 1, 1986, it shall be unlawful for any person to export low-level waste which was generated within the region outside the region unless authorized to do so by the board. In determining whether to grant such authorization, the factors to be considered by the board shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) The economic impact of the export of the waste on the regional facilities; (2) The economic impact on the generator of refusing to permit the export of the waste; and (3) The availability of a regional facility appropriate for the disposal of the waste involved. C. After January 1, 1986, it shall be unlawful for any person to manage any low-level waste within the region unless the waste was generated within the region or unless authorized to do so both by the board and by the state in which that management takes place. In determining whether to grant such authorization, the factors to be considered by the board shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) The impact of importing waste on the available capacity and projected life of the regional facilities; (2) The economic impact on the regional facilities; and (3) The availability of a regional facility appropriate for the disposal of the type of waste involved. D. It shall be unlawful for any person to manage at a regional facility any radioactive waste other than low-level waste as defined in this compact, unless authorized to do so both by the board and the host state. In determining whether to grant such authorization, the factors to be considered by the board shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) The impact of allowing such management on the available capacity and projected life of the regional facilities; (2) The availability of a facility appropriate for the disposal of the type of waste involved; (3) The existence of transuranic elements in the waste; and (4) The economic impact on the regional facilities. E. Any person who violates subsection A or B of this article shall be liable to the board for a civil penalty not to exceed 10 times the charges which would have been charged for disposal of the waste at a regional facility. F. Any person who violates subsection C or D of this article shall be liable to the board for a civil penalty not to exceed 10 times the charges which were charged for management of the waste at a regional facility. G. The civil penalties provided for in subsections E and F of this article may be enforced and collected in any court of general jurisdiction within the region where necessary jurisdiction is obtained by an appropriate proceeding commenced on behalf of the board by the attorney general of the party state wherein the proceeding is brought or by other counsel authorized by the board. In any such proceeding, the board, if it prevails, is entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees as part of its costs. H. Out of any civil penalty collected for a violation of subsection A or B of this article, the board shall pay to the appropriate operator a sum sufficient in the judgment of the board to compensate the operator for any loss of revenue attributable to the violation. Such compensation may be subject to state and compact surcharges as if received in the normal course of the operator's business. The remainder of the civil penalty collected shall be allocated by the board. In making such allocation, the board shall give first priority to the needs of the long-term care funds in the region. I. Any civil penalty collected for a violation of subsection C or D of this article shall be allocated by the board. In making such allocation, the board shall give first priority to the needs of the long-term care funds in the region. J. Violations of subsection A, B, C, or D of this article may be enjoined by any court of general jurisdiction within the region where necessary jurisdiction is obtained in any appropriate proceeding commenced on behalf of the board by the attorney general of the party state wherein the proceeding is brought or by other counsel authorized by the board. In any such proceeding, the board, if it prevails, is entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees as part of its costs. K. No state attorney general shall be required to bring any proceeding under any subsection of this article, except upon his or her consent.

ARTICLE 8ELIGIBILITY, ENTRY INTO EFFECT, CONGRESSIONAL CONSENT, WITHDRAWAL, EXCLUSION A. Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are eligible to become parties to this compact. Any other state may be made eligible by unanimous consent of the board. B. An eligible state may become a party state by legislative enactment of this compact or by executive order of its governor adopting this compact; provided, however, a state becoming a party by executive order shall cease to be a party state upon adjournment of the first general session of its legislature convened thereafter, unless before such adjournment the legislature shall have enacted this compact. C. This compact shall take effect when it has been enacted by the legislatures of two eligible states. However, subsections B and C of article 7 shall not take effect until Congress has by law consented to this compact. Every 5 years after such consent has been given, Congress may by law withdraw its consent. D. A state which has become a party state by legislative enactment may withdraw by legislation repealing its enactment of this compact; but no such repeal shall take effect until 2 years after enactment of the repealing legislation. If the withdrawing state is a host state, any regional facility in that state shall remain available to receive low-level waste generated within the region until 5 years after the effective date of the withdrawal; provided, however, this provision shall not apply to the existing facility in Beatty, Nevada. E. A party state may be excluded from this compact by a two-thirds' vote of the members representing the other party states, acting in a meeting, on the ground that the state to be excluded has failed to carry out its obligations under this compact. Such an exclusion may be terminated upon a two-thirds' vote of the members acting in a meeting.

ARTICLE 9CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERABILITY A. The provisions of this compact shall be broadly construed to carry out the purposes of the compact. B. Nothing in this compact shall be construed to affect any judicial proceeding pending on the effective date of this compact. C. If any part or application of this compact is held invalid, the remainder, or its application to other situations or persons, shall not be affected.
