N.J. Stat. § 13:1I-2: Legislative findings

The Legislature finds and determines that the volume of solid and liquid waste is rapidly increasing, that the treatment and disposal of these wastes poses a threat to the quality of the environment, that the quality of New Jersey's environment is being threatened by the treatment and disposal of wastes generated or collected outside the State; and that this hazard can be reduced by the adoption of regulations governing this practice.
