    On page 5, after line 27, insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION. Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 19.285 RCW to read as follows:

    In addition to the resources included in the definition of eligible resource under RCW 19.285.030(12), the following resource shall be considered an eligible renewable resource for the purposes of this chapter:

    (1) Incremental electricity produced as a result of a capital investment completed after March 31, 1999, that increases, relative to a baseline level of generation prior to the capital investment, the amount of electricity generated in a generation facility, which commences operation after September 1, 1991, that is powered by the combustion of solid waste in a municipally owned energy recovery facility located on a business park owned and operated under the provisions of chapter 14.08 RCW, when:  (A) The facility's air emissions do not exceed permitted levels established under RCW 70.94.161; (B) periodic monitoring includes third-party verification documenting total polychlorinated biphenyl air emissions not exceeding a level that could contribute to increased polychlorinated biphenyl levels in local water bodies; and (C) the facility can demonstrate through direct or calculated measurement that the incremental electricity resulted from the capital investment, which does not include expenditures on operation and maintenance in the normal course of business.

    (2) For the purposes of this section, "energy recovery" has the same meaning as defined in RCW 70.95.030 and "solid waste" has the same meaning as defined in RCW 70.95.030."

     Correct the title.
