章节摘录

Although most states are struggling to find a way to draft a constitu-tional law allowing them to keep hazardous waste out of their state, RhodeIsland is trying do just the opposite: it is trying to keep commercial trashinside the state. Rhode Island's Central Landfill cannot, by law, charge thestate's municipalities more than $14 a ton to receive residential trash.Because that amount does not cover disposal costs, the landfill charges up to$59 per ton for commercial trash.The high prices made Central Landfill noncompetitive with dumps inneighboring states, which was a boon to local trucking firms, because they werenow hauling tons of wastes to landfills in neighboring states. Consequently, thestate's Solid Waste Management Corporation decreed that all the state's com-mercial trash had to go to a state-licensed disposal site: Central Landfill. Atrucking firm, claiming the regulation was ruining its business, sued the state onthe ground that the regulation violated the commerce clause. The district courtjudge agreed and issued an injunction in the summer of 1991.Because trash disposal is such a major problem, and cases seeming tosupport a position that state restrictions on out-of-state waste disposal vio-late the commerce clause, Congress is coming under increasing pressure topass some form of legislation that would override at least part of theSupreme Court's recent ruling and allow states to restrict the importation ofwaste. Indeed, Justice O'Connor specifically recognized that if Congressenacted legislation allowing for flow-control ordinances, the Court would bebound by the legislation.36 Measures that would allow states to restrictinterstate transport of nonhazardous waste have been introduced in boththe House and the Senate but, thus far, have not been passed.Like many cases before it, in the case of Huish Detergents, Inc. v. WarrenCounty, KY37 the county ordinance requiring all waste processing to takeplace in a county facility was found to be discriminatory against interstateflow of waste and, thus, a violation of the commerce clause. Because thecounty was mandating that all trash collection be done by one private firmand that the garbage be deposited in state, Huish was unable to contract afirm to take their waste out of state. This action, the Court ruled, is a viola-tion of the Commerce Clause.However, in Houlton Citizen's Coalition v. Town of Houlton,38 the Courtupheld a plan limiting waste disposal to within the town borders because ofa flow-control ordinance and bidding, thus avoiding a per se violation ofthe Commerce Clause. The bidding process was deemed completive, and theburden imposed on interstate commerce was not excessive in relation to thelocal benefits. It is the flow-control ordinance, however, that did the most toescape violation of the Commerce Clause.
