Otherwise...we could just let New York and Chicago all vote to dump all their untreated waste into Wyoming. I mean no one needs to live there. Tell those cowboys to move into the city.

You may want to review how federal law supersedes state law. The scenario you posited is basically what happened with nuclear waste.
