The provisions of this chapter to be carried out by States may be carried out by interstate agencies and provisions applicable to States may apply to interstate regions where such agencies and regions have been established by the respective States and approved by the Administrator*. In any such case, action required to be taken by the Governor of a State*, respecting regional designation shall be required to be taken by the Governor of each of the respective States with respect to so much of the interstate region as is within the jurisdiction of that State.
The consent of the Congress is hereby given to two or more States to negotiate and enter into agreements or compacts, not in conflict with any law or treaty of the United States, for—
cooperative effort and mutual assistance for the management of solid waste* or hazardous waste* (or both) and the enforcement of their respective laws relating thereto, and
the establishment of such agencies, joint or otherwise, as they may deem desirable for making effective such agreements or compacts.
No such agreement or compact shall be binding or obligatory upon any State a party thereto unless it is agreed upon by all parties to the agreement and until it has been approved by the Administrator and the Congress.
