Final answer:
The statement in the question is true. Transporters of hazardous waste must follow regulations, under command-and-control regulations, to ensure safe and legal disposal of waste.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'One way to remove refuse from the premises is by a target vehicle that is constructed, maintained, and operated according to law' is true. After generators produce a hazardous waste, transporters are responsible for moving this waste to facilities that can recycle, treat, store, or dispose of it. These transporters must comply with various regulations since they transport regulated wastes through public domains, such as roads, highways, rails, and waterways.
Transporting hazardous waste is regulated by environmental laws that originated in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States. Such laws fall under the category of command-and-control regulation, meaning they not only specify the allowable quantities of pollution but also may require companies to install specific pollution-control equipment. These regulations are instrumental in considering the social costs of pollution when deciding on production levels.
