We want your feedback on the informal draft rule language. Please email your feedback, suggestions, or concerns to WA-recycles-electronics@ecy.wa.gov no later than Wednesday March 14, 2007.

We apologize for the very short review time. This is necessary to meet the August adoption date.  This is an informal comment period and Ecology will not respond to your comments at this time. We will consider your feedback, and where appropriate make revisions to the rule language, before we file our formal rule proposal (CR-102).
