2021 Tennessee Code|Title 68 - Health, Safety and Environmental Protection|Chapter 212 - Hazardous Waste Management|Part 3 - Tennessee Hazardous Waste Reduction Act of 1990|§ 68-212-301. Short Title

TN Code § 68-212-302 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 68 - Health, Safety and Environmental Protection|Chapter 212 - Hazardous Waste Management|Part 3 - Tennessee Hazardous Waste Reduction Act of 1990|§ 68-212-302. Policy

  The general assembly declares it to be the policy of the state that, wherever economically and technically feasible, the generation of hazardous waste is to be prevented or reduced as expeditiously as possible. Hazardous waste that is nevertheless generated should be stored, treated and disposed of so as to protect human health and the environment.   It is the intent of the general assembly that the Capacity Assurance Plan (CAP) required by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) (P.L. 99-499, 100 Stat. 1613, as amended) should reflect the state's primary commitment to waste prevention and reduction through education, planning and technical assistance.   The general assembly further finds that the timely development of a comprehensive waste reduction plan by each large and small hazardous waste generator operating in the state is essential in order to identify opportunities for reducing waste generation which may be implemented by that generator.   The general assembly finds that the state should aid generators of hazardous waste to meet the requirements of this part by providing a program of planning and technical assistance.   It is the purpose of this part to prevent and reduce the generation of hazardous waste in the state.  Such waste shall not include wastewater streams containing hazardous wastes that are collected and treated in on-site wastewater treatment systems, the discharge of which is the subject of a NPDES permit.
