UTC considers revisions to solid waste definitions in WAC 480-70.

The commission filed a Preproposal Statement of Inquiry (CR-101) with the Office of the Code Reviser on May 7, 2008, to accomplish to goals:

(1) Review, amend, and add definitions for solid waste contained in WAC 480-70. This includes: all definitions contained in WAC 480-70-041, WAC 480-70-196, and WAC 480-70-226 pertaining to the Commission’s regulation of solid waste collection companies; add other definitions, as necessary, to clarify issues facing the solid waste industry; and combine all definitions into one rule.

    (2) The rulemaking will discuss whether entities transporting materials under various circumstances are subject to regulation under RCW 81.77, as solid waste collection companies, or under RCW 81.80, as common carriers of property. The following rules are included in the review: WAC 480-70-011 Exempt operations; WAC 480-70-016 Determination of authority required to transport specific commodities or provide specific services. New rule(s) may be necessary to add clarity to this issue.

    The commission invites written comments by June 9, 2008. In addition to filing written comments, interested persons are invited to attend a stakeholder workshop to discuss WAC 480-70, related to solid waste collection companies on Tuesday, July 1, 2008, beginning at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 4:00 p.m. in the Commission's Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Richard Hemstad Building, 1300 S.
