	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1620, Wieckowski. Hazardous waste: contained gaseous material.
   Under existing law, "contained gaseous material" is regulated by
the Department of Toxic Substances Control as a hazardous waste.
Existing law defines contained gaseous material as any gas that is
contained in an enclosed cylinder or other enclosed container.
Existing law exempts from the definition of contained gaseous
material any exhaust gas, flue gas, or other vapor stream, regardless
of the source, that is controlled by a permitted or exempted air
pollution control device.
   This bill would instead exempt from the definition of "contained
gaseous material" any exhaust or flue gas, or other vapor stream, or
any air or exhaust gas stream that is filtered or otherwise processed
to remove particulates, dusts, or other air pollutants, regardless
of the source.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 25110.11 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   25110.11.  (a) "Contained gaseous material," for purposes of
subdivision (a) of Section 25124 or any other provision of this
chapter, means any gas that is contained in an enclosed cylinder or
other enclosed container.
   (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of this section, "contained
gaseous material" does not include any exhaust or flue gas, or other
vapor stream, or any air or exhaust gas stream that is filtered or
otherwise processed to remove particulates, dusts, or other air
pollutants, regardless of the source.
