(a) “Solid waste landfill” means a disposal facility that accepts solid waste for land disposal, but does not include a facility which receives only wastes generated by the facility owner or operator in the extraction, beneficiation, or processing of ores and minerals, or a cemetery which disposes onsite only the grass clippings, floral wastes, or soil resulting from activities on the grounds of that cemetery.

(b) For the purposes of Article 3 (commencing with Section 43500) and Article 4 (commencing with Section 43600) of Chapter 2 of Part 4, “solid waste landfill” does not include a facility which receives only nonhazardous wood waste derived from timber production or wood product manufacturing.  For the purposes of the fee imposed by Section 48000, facilities which receive only nonhazardous wood waste derived from timber production or wood product manufacturing shall, notwithstanding Section 48000, pay a quarterly fee to the state board on all solid waste disposed at each disposal site, which does not exceed the amount of the fee due and payable to the state board by those facilities during the 1992 calendar year.
