Pollution Prevention and Waste Reduction Planning: A Quick Look at Initial State Experience. 1992.

TURI Methods/Policy Report No. 1. Facility specific pollution prevention and waste reduction plans are central program elements of many new state pollution prevention programs. Of twenty-six states that have enacted legislation in the past four years to promote pollution prevention or waste reduction, twenty specify or suggest that a facility plan be completed by those who manage the facility. Of the twenty states that describe planning requirements, fourteen make plans mandatory. This report examines the experience of the five states that require facility plans.
