plan.

The secretary of the Cabinet for Economic Development shall cooperate with the special

assistant to the Governor for coal and energy policy in examining the feasibility of a

hazardous waste treatment -industrial park complex approach to the siting of hazardous

waste management facilities and the promotion of industrial development. Consistent

minimizing land disposal, the study shall be based on development of integrated facilities

consisting of a variety of treatment and disposal systems at a given site associated with

industrial plants. The study shall at a minimum:

(1) Survey the attitudes of various industries towards this approach;

(2) Survey public attitudes and perceptions towards this approach;

(3) Identify the advantages and disadvantages to industry, the Commonwealth, and

local communities;

(4) Survey the degree to which the availabili ty of hazardous waste management

facilities has a bearing on the location of new industry;

(5) Develop a list of industry types with compatible waste streams for exchange,

neutralization, or incineration;

(6) Identify economic or technical barriers to this approach; and

(7) Report its findings and recommendations to the 1982 General Assembly.
