Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
This regulation is promulgated under the authority of
				chapter
				70.95 RCW to protect
				public health, to prevent land, air, and water pollution, and conserve the
				state's natural, economic, and energy resources by:
(1) Setting minimum functional performance
			 standards for the proper handling of all solid waste materials originating from
			 residences, commercial, agricultural and industrial operations and other
			 sources;
(2) Identifying those
			 functions necessary to assure effective solid waste handling programs at both
			 the state and local level;
(3)
			 Following the direction set by the legislature for the management of solid
			 waste in order of descending priority as applicable:
(a) Waste reduction;
(b) Waste recycling;
(c) Energy recovery or
			 incineration;
(d)
			 Landfill.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 173 - Ecology, Department of (See also Titles 197, 317, 372, and 508) › Chapter 173-304 - Minimum functional standards for solid waste handling › Section 173-304-011 - County planning requirements

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The concept of "solid waste management" includes in addition to
				proper storage, collection, and disposal of discards, other management
				functions or operational activities including waste reduction, source
				separation, waste recycling, transportation, processing, treatment, resource
				recovery, energy recovery, incineration, and landfilling. Under the State Solid
				Waste Management Act,
				chapter
				70.95 RCW, primary
				responsibility for managing solid waste is assigned to local government
				(RCW
				   70.95.020). The state, however, is
				responsible for assuring that effective local programs are established
				throughout Washington state. Therefore, state and local solid waste planning
				for the aforementioned activities is an essential part of proper solid waste
				management.
(1) State responsibility.
			 As described in
			 RCW
			    70.95.260, the department shall coordinate
			 the development of a state solid waste management plan in cooperation with
			 local government, the department of community development, and other
			 appropriate state and regional agencies. The state plan shall be reviewed at
			 two-year intervals, revised as necessary, and extended so that the plan shall
			 look to the future for twenty years as a guide in carrying out a coordinated
			 state solid waste management program.
(2) Local government responsibility. The
			 overall purpose of local comprehensive solid waste planning is to determine the
			 nature and extent of the various solid waste categories and to establish
			 management concepts for their handling, utilization, and disposal consistent
			 with the priorities established in
			 RCW
			    70.95.010 for waste reduction, waste
			 recycling, energy recovery and incineration, and landfill. Each local plan
			 shall be prepared in accordance with
			 RCW
			    70.95.080,
			 70.95.090,
			 70.95.100, and
			 70.95.110. Additionally, the
			 department has available "Guidelines for the development of local or regional
			 solid waste management plans and plan revisions" to be followed by local
			 government.
			 RCW
			    70.95.165 also requires counties to establish
			 a local solid waste advisory committee to assist in the development of programs
			 and policies concerning solid waste handling and disposal and to review and
			 comment upon proposed rules, policies, or ordinances prior to their
			 adoption.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
In order to implement the priorities and provide a basis for
				permit requirements established in
				chapter
				70.95 RCW, each
				comprehensive solid waste management plan shall contain an analysis for waste
				reduction and recycling. The analysis will include a determination of levels of
				waste reduction and recycling which could occur for solid wastes that are
				proposed to be landfilled or incinerated. The analysis shall include: A
				description of markets for recycled material, a review of waste generation
				trends, a description of waste composition, a cost analysis of the impact of
				recycling or reduction programs on collection and disposal rates and a
				discussion and description of any additional programs needed to assist public
				and private sector recycling programs.
