NM Stat § 74-4C-2 (2021)
2021 New Mexico Statutes|Chapter 74 - Environmental Improvement|Article 4C - Hazardous Waste Feasibility Studies|Section 74-4C-2 - Findings.

A. The legislature recognizes that there is a growing need to identify the magnitude of hazardous waste generation in New Mexico and sites at which materials classified as hazardous wastes can be treated or disposed of. The selection of sites for such hazardous waste activities is a complex technical, environmental, logistical, legal and institutional problem because of the many interdependent factors that must be considered. B. The legislature further finds that public understanding of the importance of safe treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes is critical in addressing New Mexico's hazardous waste problem. C. The legislature further finds that, because of the 1984 reauthorization and amendments to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, an increased number of hazardous waste generators throughout the state will be regulated and therefore a greater economic burden will fall upon these entities.

A. The committee, after consultation with the division as to the scope of the study, shall contract with public or private entities to study the magnitude of the problem of hazardous waste generation and disposal in New Mexico, including current and projected hazardous waste generation rates. If the committee determines that generation rates and transportation costs for out-of-state disposal are significant, the study shall address the need, location, conceptual design, ownership and estimated cost of a hazardous waste transfer facility to be located within the state. The facility should be capable of handling both small and large quantities of hazardous wastes. The committee shall provide for public hearing and input during the conduct of the study. B. If the committee determines that there is a need for one or more hazardous waste transfer and waste exchange facilities, it shall make appropriate recommendations to the legislature.
