# • This part ofthe checklist applies to any person whose actions or processes generate dangerous wastes as defined in Chapter 173-303 WAC. Because WAC 173-303-120 and 500 through 525 provide special requirements for recyclable materials, a separate checklist, Part 5 - Recycling Standards Inspection Checklist, is provided for generators who produce dangerous wastes which are recycled
.

Comments canbe entered either at the bottom of each page or on separate pages. Blankpages are provided for comments at the end of this checklist. To complete this checklist, enter the following codes at the right margin as applicable:
