Upon completion of a plan, the owner, chief executive officer,
				or other person with the authority to commit management to the plan, such as a
				facility manager, shall sign and submit an executive summary of the plan to the
				department. This summary must be available from the department for public
				inspection upon request. The facility may choose to submit the complete plan to
				the department rather than prepare an executive summary. In that event, the
				complete plan must also be available for public inspection.
Executive summaries shall include the following information
				from the plan:
(1) A written policy
			 expressing management and corporate support for the plan and a commitment to
			 implement planned activities and achieve established goals;
(2) The plan scope and objectives;
(3) A description of the facility type and a
			 summary of product made and/or services provided;
(4) A list of the type and amount of each
			 hazardous waste and products containing hazardous substances as identified in
			 WAC 173-307-030(2)(a);
(5) A brief description of each process in
			 the facility that generates hazardous waste or uses products containing
			 hazardous substances as listed in subdivision (d);
(6) A description of current reduction,
			 recycling, and treatment activities, and documentation of hazardous substance
			 use reduction and hazardous waste reduction activities completed before the
			 first reporting date specified in WAC
			 173-307-050;
(7) A summary of all further hazardous
			 substance use reduction, hazardous waste reduction, recycling, and treatment
			 opportunities identified. Opportunities must be identified first for hazardous
			 substance use reduction and hazardous waste reduction, secondly for recycling,
			 and lastly for treatment. A statement of the reason or reasons for rejecting
			 any opportunity from further consideration and a summary of all identified
			 impediments to implementing opportunities must be included;
(8) A description of the opportunities
			 selected to be implemented, process or processes affected, and estimated
			 reductions to be achieved;

			 Specific performance goals, expressed in numeric terms for each of the
			 categories listed below (assumptions on changing production or service activity
			 levels during the period covered by the plan must be described):
(a) Hazardous substances to be reduced or
			 eliminated from use;
(b) Hazardous
			 wastes to be reduced or eliminated through waste reduction
			 techniques;
(c) Materials or
			 hazardous wastes to be recycled; and
(d) Hazardous wastes to be treated.
If the establishment of numeric performance goals is not
				practicable, the performance goals shall include a clearly stated list of
				objectives designed to lead to the establishment of numeric goals as soon as is
				practicable. Goals must be set for a five-year period from the first reporting
				date;
