During the last legislative session, the State of Iowa passed a law which forbids the transport of toxic waste on any Iowa state highways. Toxico, Inc., has a contract with the State of Nebraska to haul low-level radioactive waste materials, from the states nuclear facilities to a disposal site located in South Carolina. The nuclear power plants are all located along the Missouri River, just north and south of the Omaha metropolitan area, and are immediately adjacent to Iowa.
Toxico has filed suit to determine the constitutionality of the legislation because the company objects to the extraordinary burden and expense it would suffer if forced to reroute through other states with less restrictive transport legislation.
