Hazardous-waste reduction strategies: A discussion and recommendations for the General Assembly
The 1989 Waste Minimization and Disposal Act (WMDA) mandates that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) shall work with generators of hazardous waste in the state to develop and implement aggressive waste minimization programs. In response to this mandate, the Hazardous Waste Minimization Advisory Committee composed of various industry representatives was created by the DNR. The report includes a discussion of potential waste reduction approaches and a set of recommendations for the General Assembly. The recommendations specify legislative action and departmental programs needed to foster pollution prevention within a competitive business environment and to achieve the statewide hazardous waste reduction goal of 25% by 1994.
