      "title": "Interstate Waste Transport: Legislative Issues",
      "summary": "This report discusses ten issues raised by proposed legislation to allow controls on interstate\ncommerce in solid waste. Such legislation has been considered in every Congress since 1990. \nRenewed interest has been generated by developments in Michigan, which has seen a sharp increase\nin waste imports from Canada as Toronto has closed local landfills. New York City's closure of its\nlast remaining landfill in March 2001 also generated concern in several states that now receive its\nwaste. Issues discussed in the report include whether to presumptively ban new waste shipments,\nwhether to grant authority to states or to local governments, what types of facilities and what types\nof waste to include in a bill's authority, how to address out-of-country waste, grandfather provisions,\nfreeze and ratchet authority, fees on out-of-state waste, indirect measures controlling waste imports,\nwhether to include flow control authority, and the desirability of preconditions versus an\nunconditional grant of authority. This report will be updated as developments warrant.",
