LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 318, as amended, Levine. Hazardous waste: classification: exclusions: organic green waste.The hazardous waste control laws regulate the handling and management of hazardous materials and hazardous waste. Existing law requires the Department of Toxic Substances Control to list and to develop and adopt by regulation criteria and guidelines for the identification of hazardous wastes and extremely hazardous wastes, as provided. Existing law requires the department, when identifying such wastes, to consider the immediate or persistent toxic effects to man and wildlife and the resistance to natural degradation or detoxification of the wastes. Existing law exempts certain kinds of waste from regulation under the hazardous waste control laws under specified conditions. A violation of the hazardous waste control laws is a crime.Existing law requires the Secretary for Environmental Protection to implement a unified hazardous waste and hazardous materials management regulatory program, also known as the unified program. Existing law requires every county to apply to the secretary to be certified to implement the unified program, and authorizes a city or local agency that meets specified requirements to apply to the secretary to be certified to implement the unified program, as a certified unified program agency. Existing law requires the Department of Toxic Substances Control to develop and implement a comprehensive training, education, and enforcement program for, among others, certified unified program agencies to increase awareness of the requirements governing the determination on whether a waste is hazardous, as specified.The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, which is administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, requires the department to identify and recommend actions to encourage the continued viability of the states organic waste processing and recycling infrastructure, in partnership with specified agencies, including the Department of Food and Agriculture, as provided. The act defines organic waste for its purposes to mean food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste. This bill would require, on or before January 1, 2023, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, in consultation with the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery and the Department of Food and Agriculture, to provide guidance to certified unified program agencies on how to characterize green waste, as defined, under the hazardous waste control laws and regulations.The hazardous waste control laws regulate the handling and management of hazardous materials and hazardous waste. Existing law requires the Department of Toxic Substances Control to develop and adopt by regulation criteria and guidelines for the identification of hazardous wastes and extremely hazardous wastes, as provided. Existing law exempts certain kinds of waste, including, among other things, wood waste, as defined, from regulation under the hazardous waste control laws under specified conditions. A violation of the hazardous waste control laws is a crime.This bill would exclude from classification as a hazardous waste organic waste, as defined, that would be classified as hazardous solely because it exhibits a characteristic of toxicity, as specified. The bill would require that organic waste is to be managed in a permitted compostable materials handling operation or facility, as defined, in accordance with a cannabis waste management plan, in a permitted facility using biomass conversion, as defined, in a permitted class I, II, or III disposal unit, in a permitted solid waste facility, as defined, or in any other manner allowed by law, as specified. Because disposal of organic waste in violation of this requirement would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YESNO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
