Appendix B Definitions"Dangerous Wastes" means those solid wastes designated in WAC 173-303-070 through 173 303-103 as dangerous or extremely hazardous waste. (See also hazardous waste)"Decant" means drain some of the liquid from the eductor (vactor type) truck tank with somedisturbance of the solids. The technical definition of decant means the some of the liquids are drained from the truck tank with no disturbance of the solids. However, for the purposes of this guidance, the definition of decant will include a mixture of liquid and solids since in the field, the sloids rarely have a chance to completely settle out. "Hazardous Wastes" means those solid wastes designated by 40 CFR Part 261, and regulated as hazardous and/or mixed waste by the United States EPA. "Jurisdictional health department" means city, county, city-county ordistrict public health department. "PAH (carcinogenic)" means those PAH substances identified as A (known human) or B (probable human) carcinogens by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. These include benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k) fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, chrysene, dibenzo(a,h)anathracene, and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pryene. (simplified from chapter 173-340-200 WAC) "Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon" or "PAH" means those hydrocarbon molecules composed of two or more fused benzene rings. Specific compounds generally included are acenaphthene, acenaphtylene, fluorene, naphtalene, fluroanthene, phenanthrene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k) fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, pyrene, chrysene, dibenzo(a,h)anathracene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pryene, and benzo(ghi)perylene. (simplified from chapter 173-340-200 WAC). "Problem wastes" means: (a) Soils removed during the cleanup of a remedial action site, or a dangerous waste site closure or other cleanup efforts and actions and which contain harmful substances but are not designated dangerous wastes, or (b) dredge spoils resulting from the dredging of surface waters of the state where contaminants are present in the dredge spoils at concentrations not suitable for open water disposal and the dredge spoils are not dangerous wastes and are not regulated by section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act (PL 95-217). (chapter 173-304 WAC). "Solid waste" means all putrescible and nonputrescible solid and semisolid wastes, including but not limited to garbage, rubbish, ashes, industrial wastes, swill, demolition and construction wastes, abandoned vehicles or parts thereof, and discarded commodities. This includes all liquid, solid and semisolid, materials which are not the primary products of public, private, industrial, commercial, mining, and agricultural operations. Solid waste includes, but is not limited to, sludge from wastewater treatment plants, septage from septic tanks, woodwaste, dangerous waste, and problem wastes. (chapter 173-306-100 WAC). "Street Wastes" include liquid and solid wastes collected during maintenance of stormwater catch basins, detention/retention ponds and ditches and similar storm water treatment and conveyance structures, and solid wastes collected during street and parking lot sweeping. Solids and liquids from cleaning of electrical vaults, vehicle wash sediment traps, restaurant grease traps, similar non- storm sewer facilities, and sanitary sewers are not included in this guidance. For the purpose of this guidance, street waste shall not include waste material from these facilities. Appendix C: TESTINGAll street wastes must be sampled and tested for suspected contaminants on a regular basis by time or volume. The exact sampling frequency will depend on the volume of waste generated and needs of those receiving the waste, but should be at a minimum of once per quarter. This will help reevaluate this guidance in the future and provide certainty to those receiving the wastes. Recommended Testing Methods (Testing methods for street waste are still being evaluated.)
