By-Laws

The purpose of the By-Laws is to “govern and facilitate the operations and policies” of the Southeast Compact Commission. The By-Laws were adopted January 6, 1984 and have been amended as needed.

Compact Law

In 1983, the Southeast Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Compact was formed. The compact law was an agreement among eight states to share responsibility for the management of LLRW.

Policy Act

Congress passed the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act in 1980. The Act assigned responsibility to each state for managing the waste produced within its borders. It also encouraged states to share that responsibility by forming regional compacts. The Act was amended in 1985.

Policy on The Management of Low-Level Radioactive Waste

The Policy on the Management of Low-Level Radioactive Waste was adopted by the Commission in October 2015. The Policy states that permanent disposal of LLRW is preferable to either short- or long-term onsite storage and that the management of LLRW is handled most efficiently and economically on a regional basis.
