1.  It  is  the purpose of the legislature of the state of New York in
  enacting  this  article  to  encourage  the  development  of  economical
  projects for the present and future collection, treatment and management
  of  solid  and  hazardous  waste  in  such  a manner as will assure full
  consideration of all aspects of planning for proper and effective  solid
  and  hazardous  waste disposal, coordinated, so far as practicable, with
  other  related  state,  regional  and  local  planning  activities,  and
  consistent  with  the  protection  of  the public health, including such
  factors as population change, urban and metropolitan  development,  land
  use  planning,  water  pollution  and  air  pollution  control,  and the
  feasibility of regional resource recovery programs.
    2. It is furthermore the purpose of the legislature of  the  state  of
  New  York  to  effect  maximum  resource  recovery from solid waste on a
  cost-effective basis, with minimum environmental debit, energy-efficient
  materials recovery, prudent land  use,  maximum  economic  benefits  and
  maximum effective private sector participation, with due concern for the
  primacy  of  the local and regional role in resource recovery procedures
  upon the basis of public knowledge and consent.
