Dear Mr. Findley:

•••

The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is providing this application for

federal authorization to revise Ecology's hazardous waste program. Ecology is seeking

authorization of the rules that are listed on the following pages. This authorization will

supplement Washington's authorization for the Core RCRA Program and six subsequent

revisions .

This application is submitted pursuant to the requirements of 40 CPR Part 271. The

package consists of a revised program description, an Attorney General's Statement,

Revision Checklists for each of the rules, and various other supporting documents. A

revised Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was not necessary as both Ecology and EPA

reviewed it, and a revision at this time was not deemed necessary.

Both of our agencies worked together during both State rulemaking and development and

coordination of this application. I trust that our mutual investment will result in the

timely processing of this Revision Authorization Application. If you or your staff have

any questions, please contact Greg Sorlie at (360) 407-6702 or Chipper Hervieux at (360)

407-6756.
