Minn. Stat. § 115A.18
The legislature finds that proper management of hazardous waste generated in the state is needed to conserve and protect the natural resources in the state and the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, that the establishment of safe commercial disposal facilities in the state may be necessary and practicable to properly manage the waste, that this cannot be accomplished solely by the activities of private persons and political subdivisions acting alone or jointly, and that therefore it is necessary to provide a procedure for making final determinations on whether commercial stabilization and containment facilities should be established in the state and on the locations, sizes, types, and functions of any such facilities.
