Notes
General Permit Number WMGR106 authorizes the processing of Types 4 through 7 plastics from municipal recycling facilities and residual waste generators to produce plastic-derived fuel. The processing authorized by the general permit is polyvinyl chloride (PVC) removal using infrared or x-ray technology with air separation, shredding, magnetic and manual metal removal, and blending.

General Permit Number WMGR106 was amended to allow Types 1 and 2 plastics that cannot be recycled by other means to be processed into plastic derived fuel and to allow blending of paper, cardboard, wood and woody materials into the plastic derived fuel. The general permit was also amended to update the format to the current format used for residual waste general permits. The general permit was amended by Central Office on September 19, 2014.
