1. Statutory 'Authority

The Department of Ecology is authorized to adopt rules regulating the

generation and management of hazardous waste by Chapter 70.105 ROW and

Initiative 97.

Chapter 70.105 ROW (the Hazardous Waste Management Act) was initially

passed in 1976 to define and regulate the management of dangerous and

extremely hazardous waste (EHY) and to adopt standards for EHW disposal.

The Act was later amended to provide Ecology with additional authority

to carry out the federal RCRA program in Washington. Further authority

to carry out RCRA amendments is contained in Section «3)(d) of

Initiative 97, the Model Toxics Control Act.

The purpose of Chapter 70.105 RCW is to provide a "comprehensive

state-wide framework for the planning, regulation, control, land

management of hazardous waste which will prevent land,air, and water

pollution and conserve the natural, economic, and energy resources of

the State." The Act also states as its purpose, providing "broad powers

of regulation to the Department of Ecology relating to management of

hazardous wastes and releases of hazardous substances. "

Section 70.105 ROW authorizes Ecology to establish standards for the

safe transport, treatment, storage, and disposal of dangerous wastes as

may be necessary to protect human health and the environment and to

"adopt rules necessary to implement this section."

Section (3)(d) of Initiative 97 authorizes Ecology to "carry out all

state programs authorized under the federal RCRA, as amended."

[A Note on Terms: The terms hazardous waste and dangerous waste

basically refer to the same thing. The term hazardous waste is used by

people at the federal level or when speaking about wastes regulated

under the federal RCRA Program. Dangerous waste is often used in

Washington State to refer to those wastes regulated by Chapter 173-301-.

WAC (a somewhat broader category of things than that which is regulated

by RCRA). Extremely hazardous waste (EHW) is a subset of dangerous

waste which is highly toxic or persistent or which may cause an extreme

hazard].

2. Reasons for Rule

These amendments are being proposed for two major reasons:

1
A. First, some of the amendments are required by federal regulation

(40 CFR Part 271). This part of the regulation authorizes Ecology

through the US Environmental Agency (EPA) to carry out the federal RCRA

(hazardous waste) program in Washington. In order to remain so

authorized, periodic amendments to the state Dangerous Waste

Regulations, Chapter 173-303 WAC, are required to keep the State program

up to date with the changing requirements of new federal laws and

regulations.

B. Second, other amendments are state-initiated to improve the

program. These have been and will be identified by Ecology staff,

regulated businesses, and the pub1ic~ The larger State issues to be

addressed are transportation of used oil, designation of wastes,

satellite accumulation, dangerous waste burned for energy recovery,

domestic sewage and amendments to siting criteria. The changes of a

minor nature are a result of implementation concerns and technical

corrections. Some of these changes are intended" to enhance Ecology's

ability to enforce this Chapter of the regulations. The state-initiated

amendments are briefly summarized in Attachment C.

3. Summary of Key Issues

The regulation amendments contain the following key issues.

"Federal Rules

These amendments are needed to retain RCRA Authorization for Washington.

The state rules must be "equivalent" and "no less stringent" than their

federal counterparts. More stringent rules are allowed. A list of the

federally mandated rules appears in Attachment B. The state version of

these rules is anticipated to be essentially the same as the federal

language. It should be noted that the most significant Federal issues

to be adopted will be the Land Disposal Restriction regulations and

Corrective Action.

State-initiated Rules

For the most part, these amendments focus on implementation concerns and

clarification of regulatory language. (A list of state amendments

appears in Attachment C). In general, the controversy level of these

amendments is expected to be medium for designation of waste, sata11ite

accumulation areas, dangerous waste burned for energy recovery and

transportation of used oil and low for others.

4. Tribal Issues and Coordination

A letter will be sent to all 26 Tribal Chairs (with a copy going to the

environmental contacts), in the "government" format. This letter

expresses Ecology's intention to develop rules and indicates that

Ecology staff are willing to meet with Tribal representatives to discuss

the matter and listen to their concerns and comments.

Further, the Tribes will be sent a FOCUS sheet announcing the schedule

and location of and inviting the Tribes to attend, the public workshops

and public hearings.

We have contacted Tom Laurie and will continue to work with him on

Tribal coordination.

5. Public Involvement Strategy

The public involvement strategy for the entire rule development package

is straightforward. Four (4) public workshops are planned for October

1992. Workshop dates are scheduled for:

October 13

October 14

October 20

October 21

Spokane

Yakima

Vancouver

Seattle-Tacoma

Public comments will be incorporated into the draft rules prior to

filing these rules with the Code Revisor. Filing the draft rules is

scheduled for December 1992.

Four (4) public hearings are scheduled for February 1993. Public

hearings dates are:

February 9·

February 10

February 16

. February 17

Spokane

Yakima

Vancouver

Seattle-Tacoma

See Attachments A and D for details.

A meeting was held with Leighton Pratt, SWAC committee coordinator for

Ecology to identify the appropriate level of Solid Waste Advisory

Committee (SWAC) involvement. We will continue to work with and through

Leighton Pratt on SWAC involvement issues.

3
The SWAC will receive the FOCUS sheets and be specifically informed of

the public workshop and hearing dates. The Summary and Draft Rules will

be sent to the SWAC. We will offer to present our draft rules to them.

We will aslo make phone calls to interested members and inform them of

the impending rule development process and sound them out regarding the

proposed rules and their level of interest.

6. Internal Coordination and Review

The Hazardous Waste Development and Support Section will be the lead on

this project. Ty Thomas will coordinate the overall 1993 Dangerous

Waste Regulation rule development process.

Staff from several programs and sections within Ecology's Headquarters

will be involved in the development of these amendments. Staff

representatives from these programs and sections will be utilized as

liaisons to facilitate review and comment of the draft rules. These

representatives will also act as an internal work-group to address the

appropriate scope of the amendments and will help draft language for and

review new rules. The Program and Section representatives tentatively

include:

o

Bill Green

Julie Cassels

·Laurie Davies

Kim Anderson

Steve Robb

Bob Burmark

Tanya Barnett

Karen Miche1ena

HW Information and Planning section

Hazardous Waste Permit Section

Hanford Section

Industrial Section

Toxic Clean Up Program

Waste Reduction, Recycling and Litter

Control Program

Office of AG

HW Dev1eopment and Support section

o

Also, meetings will be held with staff specialists in the following

areas of Ecology as needed.

SEPA Review Section

Public Information Office

Central Programs

Rules Coordinator

Briefings will be held with the Hazardous Waste section heads, Solid and

Hazardous Waste Program Manager, Assistant Director for Waste Programs,

and Deputy Director.

- --------- ----------------------
7. Assistant Attorney General Involvement

Jay Manning has assigned Tanya Barnett as an Attorney General contact to

assist in review of the complete amendment package. Jay has also

verbally expressed his interest and commitment to assist in the

development of the needed regulatory changes. A formal request for his

continued involvement on this issue has been made by memorandum from Tom

Eaton to Jim Pharris~

8. Re~ional Office Coordination

Regional office involvement has and will continue to be a critical

component of this rule development process. Regional staff have

recommended many of the changes that will be incorporated into the draft

rule amendments.

All Regional Offices will review and comment on the draft rule

development plan, draft rules, public information documents, and the

responsiveness summary.

Included in the internal work-group outlined in number 6 above will be a

representative from each regional office. Thes~ representatives

include:

Jerry French

Wyane Krafft

Michelle Underwood

Bob Warren

Central Regional Office

Eastern Regional Office

Northwest Regional Office

Southwest Regional Office

Implementation of these new rules will be the responsibility of Regional

Office staff, Hazardous Waste Permit Section, Hanford Section,

Industrial Section as well as, Spills Response and the Waste Reduction,

Recycling and Litter Control Program. Hazardous Waste Development and

Support Section will provide training and information on the regulato~

intent and interpretation of these new rules.

9. SEPA compliance

An Environmental Checklist will be prepared. From our preliminary

review of the checklist and supplement, we believe that a Declaration of

Non-Significance is likely. (See the timeline in Attachment D for the

timing of the comment period). Barbara Ritchie has been consulted. We

will continue to work through Barbara on SEPA issues.

5
10. Economic Impact Compliance

Hazardous Waste Development and Support staff will work with Cathy

Carruthers to meet these requirements. A meeting with Cathy was held to

discuss preparation of the Small Business Economic Impact Statement

(SBEIS) as required by the Regulatory Fairness Act, and the Ecqnomic

Impact Analysis required by the Administrative Procedures Act.

Anticipated as a result of this meeting, we estimate that it will take

four to six weeks of full time staff work or $10,000 to $12,000 of

outside consultant assistance to meet these requirements.

o

The options for completing this work will be discussed with management

with a final decision on our approach expected in August, 1992.

11. Ecological Commission Involvement

A briefing will be scheduled for November 1992 with the Ecological

Commission. The 30 day Ecological Commission review period has been

built in to the time-table for this rule development process.

ATTACHMENT A

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT STRATEGY

DANGEROUS WASTE RULE AMENDMENTS

INTRODUCTION

This attachment describes planned activities for public participation in

the 1993 Dangerous Waste Regulation Amendments.

AI. Who is Affected by the Rule?

All persons living or doing business in thestate~ Generators in

the state who generate dangerous waste on a regular basis and

owner/operators of facilities that treat, store or dispose of

hazardous waste. About 6500 generators have active identification

numbers and may generate dangerous waste periodically (this figure

does not include conditionally exempt small quantity generators).

A2. How are They Affected?

Clarifications and corrections will help businesses comply with

the rules and should also help foster a more complete

understanding of the requirements. Closing loopholes will lead to

more equitable enforcement of the rules and should help businesses

who are already in compliance compete in the marketplace .

. Businesses who are currently not in compliance will be easier to

find and penalize because of the reduced ambiguity resulting from

these amendments.

A3. Who is Interested in Rule Development and Review?

All of the "notifiers" (active - 6500 people), the "dangerous

waste interested parties" (1300 people), USEPA, USDOE, Ecology

staff, state agencies, counties, cities, private and publicly

owned treatment works (POTWs), SAC, business groups and

associations, industry, environmental groups, and the general

public.

9
A4. Why are They Interested?

Businesses that potentially generate or manage dangerous waste

(a.k.a. notifiers) are interested because they are required to

comply with these rules. Compliance involves costs and benefits.

These costs and benefits are more fully explained in section 10,

Economic Impacts.

Environmental groups and citizens who live or work in the state

are interested because the dangerous waste regulations are

designed to protect their health and the health of the

environment.

AS. Who Should be Involved in Rule Development and Review?

Staff from the Hazardous Waste Development and Support Section

will have the lead in writing the Draft Rules. Selected staff

from the Sections and Regional Offices identified in sections 6

and 8 above have and will continue to be involved in development

and review as members of the regulation amendment workgroup.

c

A6.

Interested persons from the groups mentioned in A3 above will be

involved in writing and reviewing the Draft rules. An infroma1

workgroup formed by the AWB Hazardous Substance Committee has

assisted with preproposa1 comment as well as draft rule language.

When Should They be Involved?

Internal people will be involved in the review of internal drafts.

This will begin in November 1991.

Interested persons from the A3 list will be involved in the

October workshops and the prefi1ing comment period. Also, these

people will be involved in reviewing the post-filing draft

(December 1992) and in the public hearing process (February 1991).

The Tribes involvement is summarized under section 4 above.

A7. How Should They be Involved?

Internal review groups will be involved in reviewing discussion

draft and deciding on the scope of the amendments as well as

revising the discussion draft language.

10

c
AS.

Interested parties from the A3 list will be involved in reviewing

the Summary of the Draft rules after the internal work-group

finishes its task.

The Summary will be sent with the announcement of the October

workshops. Comments on the Summary will be a part of the workshop

agenda. The Draft Rules will be available at the. workshop.

Changes to the ·Draft Rules will be noted in the announcement of

the hearings.

Who Should be Kept Informed About the Rule?

The A3 list, the Tribes, certain internal programs/sections, the

Ecological Commission, SWAC, and Ecology management.

A9. How Should They be Kept Informed?

They will be kept informed through:

The three FOCUS sheets.

The Responsiveness and Amendment Summary and Workshop

Announcement.

Display Ads·in the newspapers of the cities where the workshops

and hearings will be held.

News releases summarizing the amendments and the public

involvement opportunities.

The FOCUS sheet on Public Involvement Opportunities for

OctoberjNovember

The State Register.

Briefings and meetings.

A10. Given Available Staff Time and Resources, What is the Optimum

Public Involvement Strategy?

The de1iverab1es and public involvement opportunities are

summarized on the Time1ine (Attachment D).
