NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. A new section is added to chapter 70.95 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The legislature finds that an optional procedure should be established that provides certainty as to whether certain materials generated as byproducts from the manufacturing of wood products may clearly be distributed and used as commercial fertilizer. It is the intent of the legislature in establishing such a procedure that it be truly optional, and that the procedure or the legislature's establishment of the procedure not be construed, except as provided in subsection (3) of this section, as suggesting in any manner whatsoever that a material submitted or not submitted for approval under the procedure or generated or not generated as a byproduct from the manufacturing of wood products is or is not to be regulated as a solid waste.
(2) If a person desires to receive the express approval of the department of ecology to distribute a material generated as a byproduct from the manufacturing of wood products as a commercial fertilizer under chapter 15.54 RCW for use as a commercial fertilizer, the person may request in writing the department to provide such approval. The department shall issue written approval to the person and to the department of agriculture that the material may be used as a commercial fertilizer, if the material characteristics and management methods will not pose unacceptable hazards to human health and the environment. The written approval shall certify, to the extent practicable, that the use of the material as a commercial fertilizer is consistent with the following:

Representative Buck moved the adoption of the following amendment by Representative Buck: (581)
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature recognizes that the extraction of minerals by surface mining is an essential activity making an important contribution to the economic well-being of the state and the nation. The citizens of the state are rapidly running out of approved or designated sites at which to conduct these activities. Therefore, the available sources of these minerals are nearly exhausted.
The state has enacted several laws in recent years directing local governments to make land use decisions for appropriate uses of land through designation in advance of or during the comprehensive planning process and then to limit the specific approval process to mitigating specific impacts of the use or uses allowed by the designation. The current planning and regulatory environment makes economically viable permits unobtainable for the vast majority of the sites where the minerals are located and needed.
While it is not possible to extract minerals without producing some environmental impacts, the current structure of regulation of mining operations is doing much more than preventing or mitigating conditions that would be detrimental to the environment and property rights of the citizens of the state. In the current regulatory environment, economically viable permits simply cannot be obtained for the vast majority of the sites where the minerals are located.
The cost of transportation of minerals for any significant distance can have a substantial effect on the costs to the taxpayers of the state. Surface mining must take place in diverse areas where the geologic, topographic, climatic, biologic, and social conditions are significantly different, and reclamation specifications must vary accordingly. But surface, mining is a finite use of the land and another beneficial use must follow through reclamation.
Therefore, the legislature finds that designation, production, and conservation of adequate sources of minerals and a balance between appropriate environmental protection and the appropriate regulation of production operations and conservation of minerals is in the best interests of the citizens of the state.
Sec. 2. RCW 78.44.011 and 1993 c 518 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
The legislature recognizes that the extraction of minerals through surface mining has historically included regulatory involvement by both state and local governments.
It is the intent of the legislature to clarify that surface mining is an appropriate land use, subject to reclamation authority exercised by the department of natural resources and land use designation and ((operation)) regulatory authority by counties, cities, and towns. The authority for any cities, counties, or towns to regulate operations is derived from this chapter and exercised only as described in RCW 78.44.040. The question of regulatory overlap, the scope of impacts to be regulated by local ordinances, development of model ordinances, the role of each state agency, and reclamation of abandoned mines, shall be the subjects of further study by the house of representatives and senate natural resources committees. The results of these studies must be reported to the legislature prior to the 1998 legislative session. Nothing in this section shall alter or preempt any local government's authority under chapter 43.21C RCW, the state environmental policy act.
Sec. 3. RCW 78.44.020 and 1993 c 518 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
The purposes of this chapter are to:
(1) Provide that the usefulness, productivity, and scenic values of all lands and waters involved in surface mining within the state will receive the greatest practical degree of protection and reclamation at the earliest opportunity following completion of surface mining;
(2) Provide for the greatest practical degree of state-wide consistency in the regulation of surface mines;
(3) Apportion regulatory authority between state and local governments in order to minimize redundant regulation of mining;
(4) Ensure that reclamation is consistent with local land use plans; and
(5) Ensure the power of ((local government)) cities, counties, and towns to designate sites, and regulate land use and operations ((pursuant to section 16 of this act)) as provided in this chapter.
Sec. 4. RCW 78.44.040 and 1993 c 518 s 6 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The department of natural resources is charged with the administration of reclamation under this chapter. In order to implement and enforce this chapter, the department, under the administrative procedure act (chapter 34.05 RCW), may from time to time adopt those rules necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter.
(2)(a) Once designated under section 6 of this act, counties, cities, and towns may regulate surface mining operations only by ordinance and only in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. Ordinances required to implement this chapter must be adopted by July 1, 1998.
(b) Local surface mining operating standards shall:
(i) Be limited to those standards that address mitigation of impacts of operations;
(ii) Be performance-based, objective standards that:
(A) Are directly and proportionately related to limiting surface mining impacts;
(B) Are reasonable and generally capable of being achieved;
(C) Take into account existing and available technologies; and
(D) May be met by any lawful means selected by the applicant or operator that, in the judgment of the county, city, or town, achieve compliance with the standard. However, if compliance with the standards described in this section cannot be met by the applicant, after that applicant has had reasonable opportunity to propose mitigation measures that would meet the standards by all other means, the county, city, or town may impose limitations on the hours of operation of that portion of the operation creating the impact that cannot be mitigated any other way;
(iii) Limit application and monitoring fees to the amount necessary to pay the costs of administering, processing, monitoring, and enforcing the regulation of surface mining in accordance with this section;
(iv) Except as otherwise provided in this section, implement the ordinance through an operating plan review and approval process. Such approval process shall:
(A) Require submittal of sufficient, complete, and accurate information, as specified by the local ordinance, to allow the decision maker to review the plan for compliance with state, federal, and local standards;
(B) At the option of the county, city, or town, provide for administrative approval subject to appeal or for initial consideration through a public hearing process; and
(C) Require that project-specific conditions or restrictions be based upon written findings of facts demonstrating their need to achieve compliance with local standards;
(v) Subject to subsection (3) of this section, provide that approvals issued will be valid for fifty years or until the resource is exhausted, whichever is less.
(3) Operating regulations and amendments thereto adopted pursuant to this section may be applied to lawfully preexisting mining operations only if the local ordinance:
(a) Limits application of this section relating to traffic to the designation of approved haul routes;
(b) Provides for an expedited review process for operation plans submitted pursuant to this chapter;
(c) Provides reasonable time periods for compliance with new or amended local operating standards that in no event may be less than one year; and
(d) Includes a variance procedure to allow continuation of existing operations for a nonconforming surface mining operation where strict adherence to a local operating standard would be economically or operationally impractical due to conditions relating to site configuration, topography, or the nature of historic operations.
(4) Nothing in this section precludes a county, city, or town from exercising the express authority delegated to it by a state agency under state law, or from complying with state law when required as a regulated entity.
(5) Nothing in this section shall alter or preempt any local government's authority under chapter 43.21C RCW, the state environmental policy act.
Sec. 5. RCW 78.44.050 and 1993 c 518 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:
The department shall have the exclusive authority to regulate surface mine reclamation ((except that, by contractual agreement, the department may delegate some or all of its enforcement authority to a county, city, or town)). No county, city, or town may require for its review or approval a separate reclamation plan or application. The department may, however, delegate some or all of its enforcement authority by contractual agreement to a county, city, or town that employs personnel who are, in the opinion of the department, qualified to enforce plans approved by the department. All counties, cities, or towns shall have the authority to zone surface mines and adopt ordinances regulating operations ((pursuant to section 16 of this act)) as provided in this chapter, except that county, city, or town operations ordinances may be preempted by the department during the emergencies outlined in RCW 78.44.200 and related rules.
This chapter shall not alter or preempt any provisions of the state fisheries laws (Title 75 RCW), the state water allocation and use laws (chapters 90.03 and 90.44 RCW), the state water pollution control laws (chapter 90.48 RCW), the state wildlife laws (Title 77 RCW), state noise laws or air quality laws (Title 70 RCW), shoreline management (chapter 90.58 RCW), the state environmental policy act (chapter 43.21C RCW), state growth management (chapter 36.70A RCW), state drinking water laws (chapters 43.20 and 70.119A RCW), or any other state statutes.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. A new section is added to chapter 36.70A RCW to read as follows:
(1)(a) Where the county has classified mineral lands pursuant to RCW 36.70A.050 and mineral resource lands of long-term commercial significance exist, a county shall designate sufficient mineral resource lands in the comprehensive plans to meet the projected twenty-year, county-wide need. Once designated, mineral resource uses, including operations as defined in RCW 78.44.031, shall be established as an allowed use in local development regulations.
(b) The county shall designate mineral resource deposits, both active and inactive, in economically viable proximity to locations where the deposits are likely to be used.
(c) This section has no applicability to metals mining and milling operations as defined in RCW 78.56.020.
(2) Nothing in this section precludes any unit of government from accepting the lowest responsible bid for purchase of mineral materials, regardless of source.
(3) Through its comprehensive plan and development regulations, as defined in RCW 36.70A.030, a county, city, or town shall discourage the siting of new applications of incompatible uses adjacent to mineral resource industries, deposits, and holdings.
(4) Any additions or amendments to comprehensive plans or development regulations required by this section may be adopted during the normal course of adopting or amending the comprehensive plan or development regulations.
Reasonable notice of additions or amendments to comprehensive plans or development regulations shall be given to property owners and other affected and interested individuals. The county shall use either an existing reasonable notice provision already employed by the county or a new reasonable notice provision, including any of the following:
(a) Notifying owners of real property, as shown by the records of the county assessor, located within three hundred feet of the boundaries of the proposed designation;
(b) Publishing notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the county, city, or general area where the mineral resource deposits are located;
(c) Notifying public or private groups with known interest in the proposed mineral resource designation; or
(d) Placing notices in appropriate regional, neighborhood, or trade journals.
(5) For the purposes of this section:
(a) "Long-term commercial significance" includes the mineral composition of the land for long-term economically viable commercial production, in consideration with the mineral resource land's proximity to population areas, product markets, and the possibility of more intense uses of the land.
(b) "Allowed use" means the use or uses specified by local development regulations as appropriate within those areas designated through the advance or comprehensive planning process. Once designated, a proposed allowed use shall be reviewed for project specific impacts and may be conditioned to mitigate significant adverse impacts within the context of site plan approval, but such review shall not revisit the question of land use.
Sec. 7. RCW 36.70A.060 and 1991 sp.s. c 32 s 21 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) Each county that is required or chooses to plan under RCW 36.70A.040, and each city within such county, shall adopt development regulations on or before September 1, 1991, to assure the conservation of agricultural, forest, and mineral resource lands designated under RCW 36.70A.170. Regulations adopted under this subsection may not prohibit uses legally existing on any parcel prior to their adoption and shall remain in effect until the county or city adopts development regulations pursuant to RCW 36.70A.120. Such regulations shall assure that the use of lands adjacent to agricultural, forest, or mineral resource lands shall not interfere with the continued use, in the accustomed manner and in accordance with best management practices, of these designated lands for the production of food, agricultural products, or timber, or for the extraction of minerals. Counties and cities shall require that all plats, short plats, development permits, and building permits issued for development activities on, or within three hundred feet of, lands designated as agricultural lands, forest lands, or mineral resource lands, contain a notice that the subject property is within or near designated agricultural lands, forest lands, or mineral resource lands on which a variety of commercial activities may occur that are not compatible with residential development for certain periods of limited duration.
(2) Each county and city shall adopt development regulations that protect critical areas that are required to be designated under RCW 36.70A.170. For counties and cities that are required or choose to plan under RCW 36.70A.040, such development regulations shall be adopted on or before September 1, 1991. For the remainder of the counties and cities, such development regulations shall be adopted on or before March 1, 1992.
(3) Such counties and cities shall review these designations and development regulations when adopting their comprehensive plans under RCW 36.70A.040 and implementing development regulations under RCW 36.70A.120 and may alter such designations and development regulations to insure consistency.
(4) The development regulations adopted by such counties and cities regarding surface mining operations under RCW 78.44.040 shall not be inconsistent with rules adopted by the department of natural resources.
(5) Forest land and agricultural land located within urban growth areas shall not be designated by a county or city as forest land or agricultural land of long-term commercial significance under RCW 36.70A.170 unless the city or county has enacted a program authorizing transfer or purchase of development rights."

Representative Clements moved the adoption of the following amendment by Representative Clements: (583)
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the shortage of temporary worker housing is due in part to inappropriate construction requirements for temporary worker shelter and related facilities. It is the intent of the legislature that temporary worker housing developers, including employers, be provided with a regulatory framework that allows shelter to be provided that meets the basic dignity, comfort, common decency, health, and safety needs of workers. It is the intent of chapter . . ., Laws of 1997 (this act) to provide a temporary worker housing building code that will encourage private development of temporary worker housing, and will accommodate a wide range of building materials and new and innovative construction formats that are not possible under previously applicable codes.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 19.27 RCW to read as follows:
Temporary worker housing shall be constructed, altered, or repaired as provided in chapter 70.114A RCW. The construction, alteration, or repair of temporary worker housing is not subject to the codes adopted under RCW 19.27.031, except as provided in any code adopted under chapter 70.114A RCW. For the purposes of this section "temporary worker housing" means a shelter, place, area, or piece of land where sleeping places or housing sites are provided by an employer for his or her employees for temporary seasonal occupancy, and includes labor camps under RCW 70.54.110. The rules adopted by the state board of health under RCW 70.54.110 apply to all temporary worker housing.
Sec. 3. RCW 70.114A.020 and 1995 c 220 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter.
(1) "Department" means the department of health.
(2) "Dwelling unit" means a shelter, building, or portion of a building, that may include cooking and eating facilities, that is:
(a) Provided and designated by the operator as either a sleeping area, living area, or both, for occupants; and
(b) Physically separated from other sleeping and common-use areas.
(3) "Facility" means a sleeping place, drinking water, toilet, sewage disposal, food handling installation, or other installations required for compliance with this chapter.
(4) "Occupant" means a temporary worker or a person who resides with a temporary worker at the housing site.
(5) "Operator" means a person holding legal title to the land on which temporary worker housing is located. However, if the legal title and the right to possession are in different persons, "operator" means a person having the lawful control or supervision over the temporary worker housing under a lease or other arrangement.
(6) "Temporary worker" means a person employed intermittently and not residing year-round at the same site.
(7) "Temporary worker housing" means a place, area, or piece of land where sleeping places or housing sites are provided by an employer for his or her employees or by another person, including a temporary worker housing operator, who is providing such accommodations for employees, for temporary, seasonal occupancy, and includes "labor camps" under RCW 70.54.110. The rules adopted by the state board of health under RCW 70.54.110 apply to all temporary worker housing.
Sec. 4. RCW 70.114A.080 and 1995 c 220 s 8 are each amended to read as follows:
((By December 1, 1996,)) The ((state building code council)) department shall ((develop)) adopt by rule under chapter 34.05 RCW a temporary worker ((housing)) building code, in conformance with the temporary worker housing standards developed under the Washington industrial safety and health act, chapter 49.17 RCW, the rules adopted by the state board of health under RCW 70.54.110, and the following guidelines:
(1) The code shall provide construction standards for shelter and associated facilities that are safe, secure, and capable of withstanding the stresses and loads associated with their designated use, and to which they are likely to be subjected by the elements.
(2) The code shall permit and facilitate designs and formats that allow for maximum affordability, consistent with the provision of decent, safe, and sanitary housing.
(3) In developing the code the ((council)) department shall consider: (a) The need for dormitory type housing for groups of unrelated individuals; and (b) the need for housing to accommodate families.
(4) The code shall include construction standards for a variety of formats, including, but not limited to: (a) ((Tents and tent platforms)) Straw bale exterior wall structures; and (b) hard-shell, single exterior wall structures.

((The building code council shall appoint a technical advisory committee to assist in the development of the temporary worker housing code, which shall include representatives of industries that most frequently supply temporary housing to their employees.))

The temporary worker building code authorized and required by this section shall be enforced by the department.
Sec. 5. RCW 43.70.340 and 1990 c 253 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The farmworker housing inspection fund is established in the custody of the state treasury. The department of health shall deposit all funds received under subsection (2) of this section and from the legislature to administer a labor camp inspection program conducted by the department of health. Disbursement from the fund shall be on authorization of the secretary of health or the secretary's designee. The fund is subject to the allotment procedure provided under chapter 43.88 RCW, but no appropriation is required for disbursements.
(2) There is imposed a fee on each operating license issued by the department of health to every operator of a labor camp that is regulated by the state board of health. The fee paid under this subsection shall include all necessary inspection of the units to ensure compliance with applicable state board of health rules on labor camps.
(a) Fifty dollars shall be charged for each labor camp containing six or less units.
(b) Seventy-five dollars shall be charged for each labor camp containing more than six units.

There being no objection, the House advanced to the eighth order of business.
The Speaker stated the question before the House was the motion by Representative Radcliff to reconsider the vote on Substitute Senate Bill No. 5526 (see Journal, 93rd Day, April 15, 1997).
Division was demanded. The Speaker divided the House. The results of the division was 54-YEAS; 41-NAYS. The motion was carried.
There being no objection, the House deferred further consideration of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5526 and the bill held it’s place on the second reading.
Representative Appelwick: We have not prepared a floor resolution in recognition of the anniversary that the rest of the nation is celebrating today. I would like to take a moment to note that fifty years ago Jackie Robinson was brought into the major leagues because Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers took a chance on a player's ability and looked past the color of his skin. It was an enormous change in the face of America. The nation's pasttime was big entertainment. Segregation was alive and well in many respects. Here was a man who understood his place in history; who tolerated demeaning treatment in order to pave the way for others. I think he stood the course very well. His wife was a woman of great courage and stood by him in this time. They both endured a lot so that progress could be made for others. To the point of different transportation from other members of the team, staying in different hotels, having the equipment manager separate his uniform and clothing from the rest to take to a separate laundry. Things which might seem totally unthinkable today. It's hard perhaps for many of us who are Caucasian to appreciate the significance that these breakthroughs in the race barrier meant. I know in law school, when they talked about bias in the court room or discrimination, it didn't ring true to me. I didn't feel I had grown up in an area or environment where any of that were the case. Justice Smith, who had been on the law faculty put it in context for me by using this example: Close your eyes and imagine that all the people you know in this chamber, every member you are serving with, is of a different race and you are the only white person here. Would you feel a little different? They are the same people but would you feel different? The nagging uneasiness, that's the essence of the racial tension. And yet Jackie Robinson, who had great talent, had to put up with not only that nagging discomfort of being the only black face on the team, but with being unaccepted by the fans: of being sworn at, threatened, and intimated. But he had the courage to go forward. He opened the door for a lot of people who are making a lot of money and should be really grateful. He did it at a time when there wasn't the big money to be made. But he did it with the kind of class that demonstrated that you should be judged not by the color of your skin but by the quality of your character and the good talents the good Lord gave you.
It is appropriate that we share in the tribute to Jackie Robinson, and Branch Rickey who had the courage to take a chance and break convention, and respect human beings. Thank you.
The Speaker: I wish to echo the remarks of the gentleman from the 46th District. We had the privilege of being in the audience when Jackie Robinson's daughter received on his behalf a standing ovation by 57,000 people for his great courage. We have no idea of the significance of that courage. We see today an acceptance, without the appreciation of what it took to get here. We see a lot of people doing very well in this profession, not only with popularity, but with finances.
I would simply ask, that as we make our decisions, and as we share with one another, that we show the same kind of courage and respect that that gentleman demonstrated fifty years ago.
There being no objection, the House advanced to the eleventh order of business.
MOTION
On motion by Representative Robertson, the House adjourned until 9:00 a.m., Wednesday, April 16, 1997.
