Waste 2 Resources > Solid Waste Rules Under Development

Rules Under Development

Rules listed on this page are rules the Waste 2 Resources Program is currently working on through the rule development process. These rules are all at various stages of the rule-making process (Chapter 34.05 RCW). At a minimum, we have either filed a CR-101 form (announcing the programs intentions and inviting participation in the rule-making process) or began the pilot rule-making process.

The links below will take you to the program's current rule development pages where you can find more information about the particular rule you are interested in, including how to comment on the rule and participate in the process.

• 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.
