| Abstract | Long Description |
There have been many changes in how solid wastes are managed since the current rule, the Minimum Functional Standards for Solid Waste Handling (MFS), chapter 173-304 WAC, was first promulgated in 1985. Waste management priorities have substantially changed, with waste reduction, beneficial use, and recycling being at the top of the hierarchy. Because the MFS was originally intended to address the priorities of the mid-1980s it is significantly out of line with modernized priorities. Furthermore, there have been a number of technological advancements in environmental protection at solid waste disposal facilities that are not adequately addressed in ch. 173-304 WAC. For these reasons, and others described within this document, the Department of Ecology is adopting a new rule, ch. 173-350 WAC, Solid Waste Handling Standards. |
