Solid Waste Rules

Rules currently under development:

• Mercury-Containing Lights Product Stewardship Program, WAC 173-910
  Chapter 70.275 RCW requires Ecology to establish rules to implement this program. This rule is needed to clarify product stewardship program requirements and funding structure.
• Solid Waste Handling Standards, WAC 173-350
  Ecology will continue to address issues related to composting.
• Criteria for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, WAC 173-351
  This rule will adopt new federal regulations and allow for issuance of Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) permits; eliminate equivalent and arid liner designs; and extend greater flexibility for alternate liner designs consistent with federal regulations.
