They include food waste, plastics, rubber, textiles, leather and <br />paper that is not repulpable, as well as small quantities of other materials so <br />mixed as to not be recyclable. <br />"Participation rate" is the percent of eligible waste generators who regularly <br />participate in a given abatement program within a specified geographic area. <br />"Percolation" refers to the movement of a liquid through a porous substance, <br />that is, rainwater moving through solid waste in a landfill. <br />"Processed waste" means mixed municipal solid waste that has a) yard wastes and <br />identified recoverable materials removed and b) been subject to a process that <br />oxidizes part or all of its organic component or any other process resulting in <br />an organically stabilized materials. <br />"Processible waste" means waste materials that can be source separated or other- <br />wise reclaimed for their material or fuel value. <br />"Pyrolysis" is the physical and chemical decomposition of organic matter <br />brought about by the action of heat in the absence of oxygen. <br />"Reasonably available technologies" are state-of-the-art technologies that <br />have been applied at a commercial scale and could be implemented in a cost- <br />effective manner. <br />"Recovery rate" is the percent of material identified and available for waste <br />reduction or source separation that is actually recovered through a specific <br />abatement program. <br />"Recycleables" means materials that can be readily separated and used or reused <br />as a substitute for raw materials. They include, but are not limited to, <br />paper, glass, metals, automobile oil, and batteries. <br />"Refuse -derived fuel (ROF)" means the fraction of processed municipal waste <br />that is shredded and can be used as fuel in a boiler; it consists of lighter <br />weight materials such as paper products, with metals, glass, and other non- <br />combustible materials removed. <br />"Residential solid waste" means the oarbage, rubbish, trash and other solid <br />waste resulting from normal household activities. <br />"Residuals" means waste materials left after recovery of recycleables and <br />processing of remaining wastes. <br />"Resource conservation" means reducing the amounts of solid waste that are <br />generated, reducing overall resource consumption, and using recovered resources. <br />"Resource recovery" means the reclamation for sale or reuse of materials, <br />substances, energy, or other products contained within or derived from waste. <br />"Resource recovery facility" means a waste facility established and used <br />primarily for resource recovery. <br />HP, <br />
