(1) The department in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrative Procedure Act, chapter 34.05 RCW, as now or hereafter amended, may adopt such minimum functional standards for solid waste handling as it deems appropriate.  The department in adopting such standards may classify areas of the state with respect to population density, climate, geology, and other relevant factors bearing on solid waste disposal standards. 

(2) Standards with an effective date on or after October 1, 1993 shall define "existing municipal solid waste landfill units" to include defined areas of land that have been permitted by a jurisdictional health department to receive, and any part of which is receiving, solid waste as of the effective date of the standard.  This subsection shall apply only to landfills in counties bordering the Columbia river with a population of between eighty and one hundred thousand and counties bordering the Snake River with a population of between fifteen and twenty thousand.  Furthermore, for such landfills, this subsection shall apply only as long as the landfill does not receive waste from other counties, except as provided under a contract for disposal of waste entered before October 1, 1993, and any renewals of such contract for disposal of like quantities of waste."
