(2) Therefore, it is hereby declared that the purposes of this act are:
(a) To protect the public health and safety, the health of living organisms, and the environment from the effects of the improper, inadequate, or unsound management of hazardous waste;
(b) To establish a program to track and control hazardous wastes from the time they are generated through transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal; and,
(c) To assure the safe and adequate management of hazardous wastes within this state.
