Such waste includes but is not limited to culture dishes, blood specimen tubes, and devices used to transfer, inoculate, and mix cultures. 4) "Human blood and blood products" are waste human blood and blood components, and materials containing free-flowing blood and blood products. 5) "Pathological waste" is human source biopsy materials, tissues, and anatomical parts that emanate from surgery, obstetrical procedures, and autopsy. "Pathological waste" does not include teeth, human corpses, remains, and anatomical parts that are intended for internment or cremation. 6) "Sharps waste" is all hypodermic needles, syringes with needles attached, intravenous tubing with needles attached, scalpel blades, or lancets that have been removed from the original sterile package.

"Closure plan" means a written plan developed by an owner or operator of a facility detailing how a facility is to close at the end of its active life. "Composted material" means organic solid waste that has undergone biological degradation and transformation under controlled conditions designed to promote aerobic decomposition at a solid waste facility in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

"Contaminated dredged material" means dredged material resulting from the dredging of surface waters of the state where contaminants are present in the dredged material at concentrations not suitable for open water disposal and the dredged material is not dangerous waste and is not regulated by section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act (P.L. 95-217).
