This bill was introduced into the US Senate on January 14, 1991 to amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.). The plan includes provisions to determine the amounts of municipal and commercial solid waste which will be generated in any state for the next 20 years, including the types of waste. This will include a statement of the degree to which recycling and source reduction will affect the amount of waste generated. Provisions are included to set forth any state's existing capacity to manage this waste by treatment or disposal facilities which meet existing environmental standards. The methods are included by which any state plans to have new facilities available by its planning dates. In addition, provisions are included on the amount of solid waste that any state will accept from other states or send to other states.
