HSC § 25199Div. 20 · Ch. 6.5 · Art. 8.7

Statute text

(a)The Legislature finds and declares as follows:

(1)Existing laws require numerous permits before a hazardous waste facility can be constructed and operated. The permits are issued by governmental agencies, at both the state and local levels under land use planning, zoning, hazardous waste, air quality, water quality, and solid waste management laws.

(2)The approval of hazardous waste facilities is not currently a coordinated process. The failure to coordinate the issuance of multiple permits, licenses, land use approvals, and other types of authorizations causes lengthy and costly delays. The end result of the process cannot be predicted, with any degree of certainty, by either the proponent of a project to site and construct a facility or by the concerned public.
