Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Purpose and applicability. This section
			 sets forth the requirements for any person responsible for a spill or discharge
			 of a dangerous waste or hazardous substance into the environment, except when
			 such release is otherwise permitted under state or federal law. For the
			 purposes of complying with this section, a transporter who spills or discharges

			 waste or hazardous substance is intentionally or accidentally spilled or
			 discharged into the environment (unless otherwise permitted) such that human
			 health or the environment is threatened, regardless of the quantity of
			 dangerous waste or hazardous substance.
(2) Notification. Any person who is
			 responsible for a spill or nonpermitted discharge must immediately notify the
			 individuals and authorities described for the following situations:
(a) For spills or discharges onto the ground
			 or into groundwater or surface water, notify all local authorities in
			 accordance with the local emergency plan. If necessary, check with the local
			 emergency service coordinator and the fire department to determine all
			 notification responsibilities under the local emergency plan. Also, notify the
			 appropriate regional office of the department of ecology;
(b) For spills or discharges which result in
			 emissions to the air, notify all local authorities in accordance with the local
			 emergency plan. If necessary, check with the local emergency service
			 coordinator and the fire department to determine all notification
			 responsibilities under the local emergency plan. Also, in western Washington
			 notify the local air pollution control authority; in eastern Washington notify
			 the local air authority or the appropriate regional office of the department of
			 ecology in those areas where there is no local authority.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Any action taken to evade the intent of
			 this regulation by dividing or diluting wastes to change their designation
			 shall be prohibited, except for the purposes of treating, neutralizing, or
			 detoxifying such wastes.
(2)
			 Separation of a homogeneous waste into heterogeneous phases (e.g., separation
			 of a suspension into sludge and liquid phases, or of a solvent/water mixture
			 into solvent and water phases, etc.) will not be considered as division,
			 provided that the person generating the waste either:
(a) Designates the homogeneous waste before
			 separation, and handles the entire waste accordingly; or
(b) Designates each phase of the
			 heterogeneous waste, in accordance with the dangerous waste designation
			 requirements of this chapter, and handles each phase accordingly.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Waste quantity.
			 Containers and inner liners will not be considered as a part of the waste when
			 measuring or calculating the quantity of a dangerous waste. Only the weight of
			 the residues in nonempty or nonrinsed containers or inner liners will be
			 considered when determining waste quantities.
(2) A container or inner liner is "empty"
			 when:
(a) All wastes in it have been taken out
			 that can be removed using practices commonly employed to remove materials from
			 that type of container or inner liner (for example, pouring, pumping,
			 aspirating, etc.) and:
(i) No more than one
			 inch of waste remains at the bottom of the container or inner liner;
			 or
(ii) No more than 3 percent by
			 weight of the total capacity of the container remains in the container or inner
			 liner if the container is less than or equal to 119 gallons in size;
			 or
(iii) No more than 0.3 percent
			 by weight of the total capacity of the container remains in the container or
			 inner liner if the container is greater than 119 gallons in size.
A container that held compressed gas is empty when the pressure
				inside the container equals or nearly equals atmospheric pressure; and
Washington Administrative Code › Title 173 - Ecology, Department of (See also Titles 197, 317, 372, and 508) › Chapter 173-303 - Dangerous waste regulations › Section 173-303-169 - Quantity exclusion limits-Generator category determinations

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
A generator must determine its generator category. A
				generator's category is based on the amount of dangerous waste generated each
				month and may change from month to month. This section sets forth procedures to
				determine whether a generator is a small quantity generator, a medium quantity
				generator, or a large quantity generator for a particular month, as defined in
				WAC
				173-303-040.
(1) Quantity exclusion limits. In each of the
			 designation sections describing the lists, characteristics, and criteria,
			 quantity exclusion limits (QEL) are identified. The QEL is the quantity of
			 dangerous waste generated in a calendar month used to distinguish when a
			 dangerous waste is only subject to the small quantity generator provisions, the
			 medium quantity generator provisions, or when a dangerous waste is subject to
			 the large quantity generator provisions. Any solid waste (which is not excluded
			 or exempted) that is listed, exhibits a characteristic, or meets the criteria
			 of this chapter is a dangerous waste.
(2) Aggregated waste quantities.
(a) A person may be generating more than one
			 kind of dangerous waste. In such cases, they must consider the aggregate
			 quantity of their wastes when determining whether or not their waste amounts
			 exceed the specific quantity exclusion limits (QEL) for waste
			 generation;
(b) Waste quantities
			 must be aggregated for all waste with common QELs. Example: If a person
			 generates 100 pounds of an ignitable waste and 130 pounds of a persistent
			 waste, then both wastes are regulated because the aggregate waste quantity (230
			 pounds) exceeds the common QEL of 220 pounds. On the other hand, if a person
			 generates one pound of toxic EHW and 218 pounds of a corrosive waste, their
			 quantities would not be aggregated because they do not share a common QEL (2.2
			 pounds and 220 pounds, respective QELs).

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Any person who generates a solid waste must determine if their
				solid waste designates as DW or EHW by the requirements of WAC
				173-303-070
				through
				173-303-100.
				A person is a dangerous waste generator if their solid waste is designated as
				such.

			 173-303-174,
			 173-303-200
			 through
			 173-303-201,
			 173-303-235
			 and also in WAC
			 173-303-160(2)(b) in reference to farmers, that states an event, action, or standard that must
			 occur or be met in order to obtain an exemption from any applicable requirement
			 in WAC
			 173-303-400,
			 173-303-600,
			 173-303-800
			 and from any requirement for notification under WAC
			 173-303-060.
(b) "Independent requirement" means a
			 requirement of WAC 173-303-170(2) that states an event, action, or standard
			 that must occur or be met, and that applies without relation to, or
			 irrespective of, the purpose of obtaining a conditional
			 exemption.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
A medium quantity generator, not to include transporters as
				referenced in WAC
				173-303-240(3),
				may accumulate dangerous waste on site without a permit, interim status,and
				without complying with the requirements of WAC
				173-303-600
				provided that all the following conditions for exemption listed in this section
				are met. The special provisions of this section do not apply to acutely
				hazardous wastes or toxic EHW (WT01) that exceed the QEL that are being
				generated or accumulated by the generator.
(1) Off-site shipments. All dangerous waste
			 is shipped off site to a designated facility or placed in an on-site facility
			 which is permitted by the department under WAC
			 173-303-800
			 through
			 173-303-845 or
			 recycled or treated on site in one hundred eighty days or less. A generator who
			 accumulates dangerous waste for more than one hundred eighty days is an
			 operator of a storage facility and is subject to the facility requirements of
			 this chapter and the permit requirements of this chapter as a storage facility
			 unless the generator has been granted an extension to the one hundred
			 eighty-day period by the department as described in subsection (3) of this
			 section.
(2) Generation. The
			 generator generates in a calendar month no more than the amounts specified in
			 the definition of "medium quantity generator" in WAC
