(1) Purpose. Certain categories of waste have been excluded from many of the requirements of chapter 173-303 WAC because they generally are not dangerous waste, are regulated under other state and federal programs, or are recycled in ways which do not threaten public health or the environment.
- WAC 173-303-071 describes these excluded categories of
waste.
(2) Excluding wastes. Any persons who generate a common class of wastes and who seek to categorically exclude such class of wastes from the requirements of this chapter must comply with the applicable requirements of WAC . No waste class will be excluded if any of the wastes in the class are regulated as hazardous waste under 173-303-07240 C.F.R. Part 261.
(3) Exclusions. The following categories of waste are excluded from the requirements of chapter 173-303 WAC, except for WAC , 173-303-050, and 173-303-145, and as otherwise specified: 173-303-960

(a)
-
(b) Industrial wastewater discharges that are
point-source discharges subject to regulation under Section 402 of the Clean
Water Act. This exclusion does not apply to the collection, storage, or
treatment of industrial waste-waters prior to discharge, nor to sludges that
are generated during industrial wastewater treatment. Owners or operators of
certain wastewater treatment facilities managing dangerous wastes may qualify
for a permit-by-rule pursuant to WAC
; 173-303-802(5)
-
(c) Household wastes, including household
waste that has been collected, transported, stored, or disposed. Wastes that
are residues from or are generated by the management of household wastes (e.g
leachate, ash from burning of refuse-derived fuel) are not excluded by this
provision. "Household wastes" means any waste material (including, but not
limited to, garbage, trash, and sanitary wastes in septic tanks) derived from
households (including single and multiple residences, hotels and motels,
bunkhouses, ranger stations, crew quarters, campgrounds, picnic grounds, and
day-use recreation areas). A resource recovery facility managing municipal
solid waste will not be deemed to be treating, storing, disposing of, or
otherwise managing dangerous wastes for the purposes of regulation under this
chapter, if such facility:
-
(d) Agricultural crops and animal manures
which are returned to the soil as fertilizers;
-
(e) Asphaltic materials designated only for
the presence of PAHs by WAC
.
For the purposes of this exclusion, asphaltic materials means materials that
have been used for structural and construction purposes (e.g., roads, dikes,
paving) that were produced from mixtures of oil and sand, gravel, ash or
similar substances; 173-303-100(6)

(f) Roofing
tars and shingles, except that these wastes are not excluded if mixed with
