A.

These provisions are established for the purpose of prohibiting commercial facilities constructed for the purpose of importation for treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous wastes or substances (collectively "commercial hazardous industry") within Iron County and to avoid the potential social, health and environmental impacts and risks associated with commercial hazardous industry.

B.

Industrial uses involved in the importation for treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste or substances ("commercial hazardous industry") either for profit or nonprofit purposes shall be prohibited to ensure the prevention of adverse impacts on the environment, persons, crops, domestic animals or wildlife in Iron County. Commercial hazardous industry shall not be deemed to include uses which are primarily agricultural in nature or industry in which hazardous substances are generated as an incidental by-product of industrial or manufacturing operations ("noncommercial hazardous industry").

C.

Therefore, Iron County hereby:

1.

Prohibits the processing, handling, storage, treatment, and disposal in Iron County of fissionable, radioactive, or nuclear waste or materials contaminated by such substances;

2.

Prohibits the siting of commercial hazardous industries constructed for the purpose of importation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste or hazardous substances and materials.
