LAC 33:VII.10501. Purpose

A. The legislature finds that removal of waste tires from the solid waste stream going into landfills currently being utilized for the disposal of solid waste in Louisiana is necessary to protect our environment; prevent nuisances; protect the public health, safety, and welfare; extend the usable life of the facilities; aid in the conservation and recovery of valuable resources; and to conserve energy by efficient reuse of these products, thereby benefiting all citizens of the state.
