N.Y. AGM Law § 321 — New York Code / Act AGM / Article 25-AAA / Section 321
Statement of legislative findings and intent
Status: in_force

§ 321. Statement of legislative findings and intent. It is hereby\nfound and declared that agricultural lands are irreplaceable state\nassets. In an effort to maintain the economic viability, and\nenvironmental and landscape preservation values associated with\nagriculture, the state must explore ways to sustain the state's valuable\nfarm economy and to protect farm operations and the land base associated\nwith it. External pressures on farm stability such as population growth\nin non-metropolitan areas, lack of access to affordable farmland, and\npublic infrastructure development pose a significant threat to farm\noperations, yet are the pressures over which farmers have the least\ncontrol. Local initiatives in agricultural protection policy,\nfacilitated by the agricultural districts program established in article\ntwenty-five-AA of this chapter, have proved effective as a basic step in\naddressing these pressures. In an effort to encourage further\ndevelopment of agricultural and farmland protection programs, and to\nrecognize both the crucial role that local government plays in\ndeveloping these strategies, plus the state constitutional directive to\nthe legislature to provide for the protection of agricultural lands, it\nis therefore declared the policy of the state to promote local\ninitiatives for agricultural and farmland protection.\n

§ 22-1030. Legislative findings.\n  The legislature hereby finds and declares that mining of uranium may\npose a significant danger to the public health, safety and welfare and\nthe environment in that:\n  1. such mining activities may pose a significant threat of\ncontamination and depletion of the state's drinking water supplies,\nincluding surface and subsurface waters;\n  2. mining activity poses the danger of release of airborne radioactive\nparticulates which may endanger the health of residents and the value of\nlivestock and dairy products;\n  3. no adequate method currently exists for storing wastes created as a\nresult of uranium mining;\n  4. in the event of abandonment of any such mine site caused by\nfinancial insolvency or other reasons, significant cleanup costs may be\nforced upon state or local governments and may harm their fiscal\nintegrity;\n  5. abatement of the hazards associated with uranium mining requires\ntechnology or administrative techniques not yet extant, proven reliable,\nor proven economically feasible;\n  6. the activities associated with uranium mining may detract from\nscenic qualities, and reduce property values, tourist revenues, and the\ngeneral quality of life in the affected area.\n  The legislature therefore finds that particular caution is needed in\ndetermining public policy pertaining to the mining of uranium and that\nthe prohibition of this activity is necessary at this time to insure the\nprotection of the public health, safety and welfare.\n
