THE KING COUNTY INDUSTRIAL WASTE PROGRAM NEWS: (9/17/08) Revised Public Rules: Two revised King County Public Rules became effective on September 15. The two rules (Local Limits and Enforcement Response Plan) have been revised in order to comply with changes required by amendments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s General Pretreatment Rules contained in 40 CFR Parts 9, 122, and 403, in the Federal Register (October 14, 2005), titled Streamlining the General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution. [PUT 8-12-1 (PR)] King County Industrial Waste Enforcement Response Plan superseded [PUT 8-12 (PR)] [PUT 8-13-1 (PR)], King County Industrial Waste Local Discharge Limits superseded [PUT 8-13 (PR)] New Hauled Waste Rule: A new King County Public Rule allowing the discharge of hauled waste at a King County treatment plant became effective on September 15. The new rule describes procedures to allow the discharge of non-domestic septage, commercial wastes, industrial wastes, and grease removed from a grease trap, septic tank, or cesspool into a designated septage facility in King County.

(7/8/08) Dental Waste Program catches the attention of the U.S. Congress:
Compliance Investigator Patricia Magnuson was invited to provide testimony on
KCIW's Dental Waste Program and its outcome to date at a U.S. Congress Domestic Policy subcommittee hearing,
Assessing State and Local Regulations to Reduce Dental and Mercury Emissions. Link to the
King County news release. The Industrial Waste Advisory Committee (IWAC) meets three times this year.

County email addresses change: County e-mail addresses are changing from the long-standing
"firstname.lastname@metrokc.gov" to "firstname.lastname@kingcounty.gov". The former e-mail
addresses will still work to deliver e-mails throughout 2008, however, it is a good idea to change email addresses
for your King County contacts in address books and listings now. See the Industrial Waste
Program's staff contacts for specific e-mail addresses.
