This title (hereinafter referred to as "this Act") may be cited as the "Solid Waste Disposal Act". FINDINGS AND PURPOSES SEC. 202. (a) The Congress finds— (1) that the continuing technological progress and improvement in methods of manufacture, packaging, and marketing of consumer products has resulted in an ever-mounting increase, and in a change in the characteristics, of the mass of material discarded by the purchaser of such products; (2) that the economic and population growth of our Nation, and the improvements in the standard of living enjoyed by our population, have required in- creased industrial production to meet our needs, and have made necessary the demolition of old buildings, the construction of new buildings, and the provision of highways and other avenues of transportation, which, together with related industrial, commercial, and agricultural operations, have resulted in a ris- ing tide of scrap, discarded, and waste materials; (3) that the continuing concentration of our popu- lation in expanding metropolitan and other urban areas has presented these communities with serious financial, management, intergovernmental, and tech- nical problems in the disposal of solid wastes result- ing from the industrial, commercial, domestic, and other activities carried on in such areas; (4) that inefficient and improper methods of dis- posal of solid wastes result in scenic blights, create serious hazards to the public health, including pollu- tion of air and water resources, accident hazards, and increase in rodent and insect vectors of disease, i Title I of P.L. 89-2T2 amended the Clean Air Act (P.L. 88-206). Envirc-*i.-.:,:;al Protection Agency Lilraiy, So^icn V 1 North V/acker Drive Chicago, Illinois 60606 ------- have an adverse effect on land values, create public nuisances, otherwise interfere with community life and development; (5) that the failure or inability to salvage and re- use such materials economically results in the un- necessary waste and depletion of our natural re- sources; and (6) that while the collection and disposal of solid wastes should continue to be primarily the function of State, regional, and local agencies, the problems of waste disposal as set forth above have become a matter national in scope and in concern and necessi- tate Federal action through financial and technical assistance and leadership in the development, demonstration, and application of new and im- proved methods and processes to reduce the amount of waste and unsalvageable materials and to pro- vide for proper and economical solid-waste disposal practices. (b)2 The purposes of this Act therefore are— (1) to promote the demonstration, construction, and application of solid waste management and re- source recovery systems which preserve and enhance the quality or air, water, and land resources; (2) to provide technical and financial assistance to States and local governments and interstate agencies in the planning and development of resource recov- ery and solid waste disposal programs; (3) to promote a national research and develop- ment program for improved management tech- niques, more effective organizational arrangements, and new and improved methods of collection, sep- aration? recovery, and recycling of solid wastes, and the environmentally safe disposal of nonrecoverable residues; (4) to provide for the promulgation of guidelines for solid waste collection, transport, separation, re- covery, and disposal systems; and (5) to provide for training grants in occupations involving the design, operation, and maintenance of solid waste disposal systems.
