(e)

(1) Each application for a license for commercial waste disposal, source material milling, or any other operation that the secretary determines will affect the environment shall meet the requirement specified in this paragraph. Each application shall include information that permits the secretary to weigh the environmental, economic, technical, and other benefits against the environmental costs and alternatives to ensure the protection of public health and safety and the environment.
