State Amends Dangerous Waste RulesWashington is amending Chapter 173-303 WAC, the Dangerous Waste Regulations in 2009. The changes make the state’s rules consistent with the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s hazardous waste program. In particular, the changes align the state rules with the federal Manifest Rule and Universal Waste mercury categories. The amendment also updates the Biological and Chemical Testing Method publications for state wastes. The rule amendments will be adopted in June.
