 (5) If subsection (3) applies and the landfill is permitted to receive only one of the waste streams set out in column 1 of the table in subsection (4), that waste stream will be taken to constitute the total waste received.

5.10A  Homogenous waste streams
 (1) For paragraph 5.9(1)(b), the homogenous waste streams have the characteristics mentioned in subsection (2) and are as follows:
 (a) alternative waste treatment residues;
 (b) shredder flock;
 (c) inert waste.
 (2) Homogenous waste streams have the following characteristics:
 (a) they are from a single known and verifiable origin, as evidenced by invoices or, if delivery does not involve a commercial transaction, other delivery documentation;
 (b) they are not extracted from a general waste stream;
 (c) they do not undergo compositional change between generation and delivery to a landfill;
 (d) they are delivered in loads containing only the waste mentioned in paragraph (1)(a), (b) or (c).
 (3) For paragraph 5.9(2)(b), the tonnage of each homogenous waste stream mentioned in subsection (1) must be estimated:
 (a) by using the amount of homogenous waste received at the landfill during the year as evidenced by invoices; or
 (b) if the amount of homogenous waste received at the landfill during the year is measured in accordance with State or Territory legislation applying to the landfill—by using that measurement; or
 (c) by using direct measurement of quantities of homogenous waste received at the landfill during the year using measuring equipment calibrated to a measurement requirement; or
 (d) in accordance with industry estimation practices (such as the use of accepted industry weighbridges, receipts, invoices, other documents or records or population and per‑capita waste generation rates).

5.11  Waste mix types
 (1) For subsection 5.9(3), the waste mix types are as follows:
 (a) food;
 (b) paper and cardboard;
 (c) textiles;
 (d) garden and park;
 (e) wood and wood waste;
 (f) sludge;
 (g) nappies;
 (h) rubber and leather;
 (i) inert waste.
 (2) The percentage of the total waste tonnage for each waste mix type mentioned in column 1 of an item in the following table must be estimated by using:
 (a) sampling techniques specified in:
 (i) waste audit guidelines issued by the State or Territory in which the landfill is located; or
 (ii) if no guidelines have been issued by the State or Territory in which the landfill is located—ASTM D 5231–92 (Reapproved 2008) or an equivalent Australian or international standard; or
 (b) the tonnage of each waste mix type received at the landfill estimated in accordance with the criteria set out in section 5.5; or
 (c) subject to subsection 5.11(3), the default waste stream percentages in columns 2, 3, 4 and
