| Short Description |
The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is announcing an interim enforcement policy for pharmaceutical waste. Within its enforcement discretion, Ecology will refrain from enforcing portions of the Dangerous Waste Regulations [Chapter 173-303 Washington Administrative Code (WAC)] at facilities meeting the conditions of this policy. Eligible facilities may use this policy to manage all pharmaceuticals, as defined by RCW 69.04.009, that are (1) non-viable or (2) discarded for any reason. Facilities may not use this policy for non-pharmaceutical waste, radioactive pharmaceutical waste, or anesthesia gases. | |
