2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 32 - Interstate and Port Authorities and Commissions|Section 32:31-2 - Agreement; policy and purpose

32:31-2. Agreement; policy and purpose  The State of New Jersey enacts and enters into the Northeast Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Compact with all jurisdictions legally joining therein, which compact is substantially as follows: Article I. Policy and Purpose There is created the Northeast Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Compact. The party states recognize that the Congress has declared that each state is responsible for providing for the availability of capacity, either within or outside its borders, for disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated within its borders, except for waste generated as a result of atomic energy defense activities of the federal government, as defined in the "Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act," Pub. L. 96-573 (42 U.S.C. s. 2021 b. et seq.), hereinafter referred to as "the act," or federal research and development activities. They also recognize that the management of low-level radioactive waste is handled most efficiently on a regional basis. The party states further recognize that the Congress of the United States, by enacting the act has provided for and encouraged the development of regional low-level radioactive waste compacts to manage such waste. The party states recognize that the long-term, safe and efficient management of low-level radioactive waste generated within the region requires that sufficient capacity to manage the waste be properly provided. In order to promote the health and safety of the region, it is the policy of the party states to: enter into a regional low-level radioactive waste management compact as a means of facilitating an interstate cooperative effort, provide for proper transportation of low-level waste generated in the region, minimize the number of facilities required to effectively and efficiently manage low-level radioactive waste generated in the region, encourage the reduction of the amounts of low-level waste generated in the region, distribute the costs, benefits, and obligations of proper low-level radioactive waste management equitably among the party states, and ensure the environmentally sound and economical management of low-level radioactive waste. L.1983, c. 329, s. 2, Art. I, eff. Sept. 1, 1983.

32:31-7. Application of other laws and regulations  Article VI. Other Laws and Regulations a. Nothing in this compact shall be construed to abrogate or limit the regulatory responsibility or authority of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission or of an Agreement State under Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. b. The laws or portions of those laws of a party state that are not inconsistent with this compact remain in full force. c. Nothing in this compact shall make unlawful the continued development and operation of any facility already licensed for development or operation on the date this compact becomes effective. d. No judicial or administrative proceeding pending on the effective date of the compact shall be affected by the compact. e. Except as provided for in Article III b.(2) and c.(3), this compact shall not affect the relations between and the respective internal responsibilities of the government of a party state and its subdivisions. f. The generation, treatment, storage, transportation, or disposal of waste generated by the atomic energy defense activities of the federal government as defined in Pub.L. 96-573, or federal research and development activities are not affected by this compact. g. To the extent that the rights and powers of any state or political subdivision to license and regulate any facility within its borders and to impose taxes, fees, and surcharges on the waste managed at that regional facility do not operate as an unreasonable impediment to the transportation, treatment or disposal of waste, the rights and powers shall not be diminished by this compact. h. No party state shall enact any law or regulation or attempt to enforce any measure which is inconsistent with this compact. These measures may provide the basis for the commission to suspend or terminate a party state's membership and privileges under this compact. i. All laws and regulations, or parts thereof of any party state or subdivision or instrumentality thereof which are inconsistent with this compact are repealed and declared void. Any legal right, obligation, violation or penalty arising under these laws or regulations prior to the enactment of this compact, or not in conflict with it, shall not be affected. j. Subject to Article III c.(2), no law or regulation of a party state or subdivision or instrumentality thereof may be applied so as to restrict or make more costly or inconvenient access to any regional facility by the generators of another party state than for the generators of the state where the facility is situated. k. No law, ordinance, or regulation of any party state or any subdivision or instrumentality thereof shall prohibit, suspend, or unreasonably delay, limit or restrict the operation of a siting or licensing agency in the designation, siting, or licensing of a regional facility. Any such provision in existence at the time of ratification of this compact is repealed. L.1983, c. 329, s. 2, Art. VI, eff. Sept. 1, 1983.

32:31-9. Penalties  Article VIII. Penalties a. Each party state, consistent with federal and host state regulations and laws, shall enforce penalties against any person not acting as an official of a party state for violation of this compact in the party state. Each party state acknowledges that the shipment to a host state of waste packaged or transported in violation of applicable laws and regulations can result in the imposition of sanctions by the host state. These sanctions may include, but are not limited to, suspension or revocation of the violator's right of access to the facility in the host state. b. Without the express approval of the commission, it shall be unlawful for any person to dispose of any low-level waste within the region except at a regional facility; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to waste which is permitted by applicable federal or state regulations to be discarded without regard to its radioactivity. c. Unless specifically approved by the commission and affected host state(s) pursuant to Article IV, it shall be a violation of this compact for: (1) any person to deposit at a regional facility waste not generated within the region; (2) any regional facility to accept waste not generated within the region; and (3) any person to export from the region waste generated within the region. d. Primary responsibility for enforcing the provisions of the law will rest with the affected state or states. The commission, upon a two-thirds vote of its members, may bring action to seek enforcement or appropriate remedies against violators of the provisions and regulations for this compact as provided for in Article IV.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 32 - Interstate and Port Authorities and Commissions|Section 32:32-1 - Findings, determinations

32:32-1. Findings, determinations  The States of New York and New Jersey hereby find and determine that:  a. It is desirable, due to the special position of honor that Ellis and Liberty Islands occupy in our national heritage, to avoid conflicts regarding jurisdiction and sovereignty over those islands;  b. It is appropriate in this centennial year of the Statue of Liberty that the States of New York and New Jersey dedicate economic benefits attributable to Liberty and Ellis Islands to a purpose which is representative of the symbolic meaning of the national treasures located on those islands;  c. The homeless, because of the ease of access to interstate transportation and their inherently transient lifestyle, now travel frequently and unimpeded back and forth between the two states;  d. Homelessness is increasingly a regional problem that requires regional solutions, making it necessary and appropriate, therefore, for New York and New Jersey to work cooperatively in developing programs to address this urgent problem;  e. Accordingly, it is appropriate that New York and New Jersey annually dedicate the equivalent of the State and local tax revenues attributable directly to Ellis and Liberty Islands for the purpose of providing assistance to the homeless of New York and New Jersey; and,  f. Moreover, it is appropriate to create a bi-state fund, to receive from each state the sums represented by such state and local tax revenues and to effectuate the goals of the two states with respect to providing assistance to the homeless of New York and New Jersey.  L. 1987, c. 57, s. 1.
