§ 56. Definitions In this chapter, the following definitions apply:

• (1) “Solid waste” means any discarded garbage, refuse, septage, sludge from a waste treatment
  plant, water supply plant, or pollution control facility, and other discarded material,
  including solid, liquid, semisolid, or contained gaseous materials resulting from
  industrial, commercial, mining, or agricultural operations and from community activities
  but does not include animal manure and absorbent bedding used for soil enrichment
  or solid or dissolved materials in industrial discharges that are point sources subject
  to permits under 10 V.S.A. chapter 47. (2) “Hazardous waste” means any waste or combination of wastes of a solid, liquid, contained
  gaseous, or semisolid form, including those that are toxic, corrosive, ignitable,
  reactive, strong sensitizers, or that generate pressure through decomposition, heat,
  or other means, which in the judgment of the Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources
  or his or her duly authorized representative may cause, or contribute to an increase
  in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness,
  taking into account the toxicity of such waste, its persistence and degradability
  in nature, and its potential for assimilation, or concentration in tissue, and other
  factors that may otherwise cause or contribute to adverse acute or chronic effects
  on the health of persons or other living organisms, or any matter that may have an
  unusually destructive effect on water quality if discharged to ground or surface waters
