Recommendation ORG5 — Propose solutions to statutory and regulatory barriers
Recommendation ORG5: Propose solutions to statutory and regulatory barriers
Identify, evaluate, and propose solutions to statutory and regulatory barriers for developing and sustaining a closed-loop organics cycle in Washington. Actions in a number of areas are needed to successfully support expansion of the organics cycle:
- Research and identify statutory and regulatory requirements that inhibit the sustained development of a successful organics closed-loop system.
Related Milestone- Implementation of an agreed upon strategy for increasing agricultural and industrial organics recycling is under way.
- Develop a proposal for addressing these barriers, leading to a regulatory framework that supports closed-loop organics recycling.
Related Milestone- A plan to address statutory and regulatory barriers to closed-loop organics recycling is widely supported.
- Develop a process to resolve existing (and future) jurisdictional conflicts among state, local and federal governmental authorities.
Related Milestone- A plan to address statutory and regulatory barriers to closed-loop organics recycling is widely supported.
- Develop and institute a process for Ecology rule development and implementation that will provide for clarity and consistency, and will prevent overlapping or contradictory requirements.
Related Milestone- A plan to address statutory and regulatory barriers to closed-loop organics recycling is widely supported.
- If appropriate, propose a hierarchy of highest and best uses for organic residual materials.
Related Milestone- Performance-based product labeling requirements are in place for organic products that are sold or given away.
