(1) This section describes the requirements
			 for persons who recycle materials that are solid wastes and dangerous. Except
			 as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, dangerous wastes that
			 are recycled are subject to the requirements for generators, transporters, and
			 storage facilities of subsection (4) of this section. Dangerous wastes that are
			 recycled will be known as "recyclable materials."
(2)
(a) The
			 following recyclable materials are solid wastes and sometimes are dangerous
			 wastes. However, they are subject only to the requirements of (b) of this
			 subsection, WAC
			 173-303-050,
			 173-303-145
			 and
			 173-303-960:
(i) Industrial ethyl alcohol that is
			 reclaimed except that exports and imports of such recyclable materials must
			 comply with the requirements of  40 C.F.R. Part 262, Subpart H. See export
			 requirements at
			 40 C.F.R.
			 261.6(a)(3)(i)(A) and (B)

(ii) (Reserved);
(iii) (Reserved);
(iv) Scrap metal that is not excluded under
			 WAC
			 173-303-071(3)(ff);
(v) Fuels produced from the refining of
			 oil-bearing dangerous wastes along with normal process streams at a petroleum
			 refining facility if such wastes result from normal petroleum refining,
			 production, and transportation practices (this exemption does not apply to
			 fuels produced from oil recovered from oil-bearing dangerous wastes where such
			 recovered oil is already excluded under WAC
			 173-303-071(3)(cc));
(vi) (Reserved);
(vii) Coke and coal tar from the iron and
			 steel industry that contains dangerous waste from the iron and steel production
			 process;
(viii)
(A) Dangerous waste fuel produced from
			 oil-bearing dangerous wastes from petroleum refining, production, or
			 transportation practices, or produced from oil reclaimed from such dangerous
			 wastes, where such dangerous wastes are reintroduced into a process that does
			 not use distillation or does not produce products from crude oil so long as the
			 resulting fuel meets the used oil specification under
			 40 C.F.R.
			 279.11 (which is incorporated by reference at
			 WAC
			 173-303-515(4)) and so long as no other dangerous wastes are used to produce the dangerous
			 waste fuel;
(B) Dangerous waste
			 fuel produced from oil-bearing dangerous waste from petroleum refining
			 production, and transportation practices, where such dangerous wastes are
			 reintroduced into a refining process after a point at which contaminants are
			 removed, so long as the fuel meets the used oil fuel specification under
			 40 C.F.R.
			 279.11 (which is incorporated by reference at
			 WAC
			 173-303-515(4)); and
(C) Oil reclaimed from
			 oil-bearing dangerous wastes from petroleum refining, production, and
			 transportation practices, which reclaimed oil is burned as a fuel without
			 reintroduction to a refining process, so long as the reclaimed oil meets the
			 used oil fuel specification under
			 40 C.F.R.
			 279.11 (which is incorporated by reference at
			 WAC
			 173-303-515(4)).
