115A.62 PURPOSE; PUBLIC INTEREST; DECLARATION OF POLICY.
The legislature finds that the development of integrated and coordinated solid waste
management systems is needed to manage properly the solid waste generated in the state, to
conserve and protect the natural resources in the state and the health, safety, and welfare of its
citizens, and to further the state policies and purposes expressed in section 115A.02; that this
need cannot always be met solely by the activities of individual political subdivisions or by
agreements among subdivisions; and that therefore it is necessary to establish a procedure for the
creation of solid waste management districts having the powers and performing the functions
prescribed in sections 115A.62 to 115A.72.
