[en] The Midwest Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Commission (Midwest Compact) seeks to define and place into operation a system for low-level waste management that will protect the public health and safety and the environment from the time the waste leaves its point of origin. Once the system is defined it will be necessary to find suitable sites for he components of that waste management system. The procedure for siting waste management facilities that have been chosen by the compact is one in which a host state is chosen for each facility. The host state is then given the freedom to select the site. Site swill be needed for low-level waste dispoal facilities. Depending on the nature of the waste management system chosen by the host state, sites may also be needed for regional waste treatment facilites, such as compactors or incinerators. This report provides example criteia for use in selecting sites for low-level radioactive waste treatment and disposal facilities. It is not, however, intended to constrain the host state in its choice of criteria or numerical values used in those criteria. 14 refs., 2 figs., 7 tabs
