§ 27-1103. Criteria  for  siting  industrial  hazardous waste treatment,               storage and disposal facilities.    1. The commissioner shall, after  investigation  and  opportunity  for  public comment, within one year from the effective date of this section,  publish  criteria  for  siting  industrial  hazardous  waste  treatment,  storage and disposal facilities. Such siting criteria shall be  designed  to  insure the maximum safety of the public from hazards associated with  treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes.  The  commissioner  shall  also  within  one  year  from  such effective date adopt criteria  prescribing the form and content of applications for  a  certificate  of  environmental  safety  and  public  necessity to construct an industrial  hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility.    2. The criteria issued pursuant to subdivision one of this section for  the siting of industrial hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal  facilities shall take into account, among other factors:    a. The consistency of the application with the plan  adopted  pursuant  to section 27-1102 of this title,    b. The density of population in areas neighboring such facility,    c.  The  density of population in areas adjacent to delivery routes to  such facility,    d. The risk of accident during the transportation of hazardous wastes,    e. The risk of contamination of ground and surface waters by  leaching  and runoff from such facility,    f.  The risk of fires or explosions from improper storage and disposal  methods,    g. The impact on the municipality where the facility is to be sited in  terms of health, safety,  cost  and  consistency  with  local  planning,  zoning or land use laws and ordinances, and    h.   The  nature  of  the  probable  environmental  impact,  including  specification  of  the  predictable  adverse  effects  on  the   natural  environment  and  ecology,  public  health and safety, scenic, historic,  cultural and recreational value, water and air quality, wildlife and  an  evaluation of measures to mitigate adverse effects.    3. The criteria issued by the commissioner pursuant to subdivision one  of this section prescribing the form of an application for a certificate  of  environmental safety and public necessity to construct an industrial  hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility  shall  require  the applicant to supply detailed information regarding:    a. The location of the proposed facility,    b. A description of the design and capacity of the facility,    c.  The  expected  sources  of  hazardous wastes for the facility, the  proposed methods of transporting such wastes to and from  the  facility,  and the routes which deliveries will traverse,    d. The need for the facility,    e. The environmental impacts of the proposed facility,    f.  A description of reasonable alternative locations for the proposed  facility, and    g. Such other information as the commissioner shall  prescribe  as  to  whether  the  proposed  facility  is  necessary  and compatible with the  surrounding environment and with  the  health,  safety  and  welfare  of  neighboring populations.
