Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission revisions to its current 
tariff naming rates to become effective April 1, 1997.

  The revisions consisted of:  new tariff no. 6 reflecting a rate increase to 
cover disposal costs and implementing an overtime charge.

  The carrier subsequently requested that the provisions of RCW 81.77.160, 
relating ro pass through disposal fees, be invoked. To implement this request,

  Pursuant to review of the filing, testimony and staff recommendations, the 
Commission finds that temporary rates, subject to refund and/or credit should

  On March 14, 1997, Ronald Teed, d/b/a Island Disposal, G-32, filed with the 
Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission revisions to its current 
tariff to become effective April 1, 1997.

  The filed revisions consisted of: new tariff no. 6 reflecting a rate increase 
to cover disposal costs and implementing an overtime charge.

  The Commission suspended filing TG-970506 on March 26, 1997, to allow for 
investigation and hearing or hearings to ensure the rights and interests of the 
public would not be injuriously affected.

  The carrier subsequently requested that the provisions of RCW 81.77.160, 
relating to pass through disposal fees, be invoked.  To implement this request, 
at the open public meeting of March 26, 1997, staff recommended that temporary 
rates, subject to refund and/or credit be allowed pending completion of the 
investigation and hearing or hearings.  

  Pursuant to review of the filing, testimony and staff recommendations, the 
Commission finds that temporary rates, subject to refund and/or credit should 
be allowed as detailed above.  The temporary rates will remain in effect 
pending issuance of further Commission orders which may include provision for 
refund and/or credit.

O R D E R

  IT IS ORDERED That the carrier is authorized to implement and collect, on a 
temporary basis, rates which are sufficient to recover, but which do not exceed 
the increased disposal fees.  Said rates to become effective April 1, 1997, on 
less than statutory notice.

  IT IS ORDERED That the carrier shall cause to be filed tariff pages which 
accurately reflect the temporary rates authorized by this order.

  IT IS ORDERED That in the event the permanent rates determined by the 
Commission as fair, just and reasonable are less than the temporary rates 
authorized, the carrier may be directed to refund or credit any 
overcollection.  The carrier shall keep accurate and sufficient records to 
allow such refunds and/or credits, if such are ordered by the Commission.
