Subject: FW: Update: DEQ's Converstion Technology Rulemaking

Importance: Normal

 

Brian, I was just looking through the conversion technology documents – lots of really good work there, Thanks. However, I had noticed that the statutory definition of Solid Waste has now been changed to add and exemption for woody biomass that is combusted as a fuel (per a bill that passed during the 2011 legislative session). I know we haven’t changed our rules yet but I wonder if this rule change belongs in the CT rulemaking. It seems to be related. Something to think about.

(24) “Solid waste” means all useless or discarded putrescible and nonputrescible materials, including but not limited to garbage, rubbish, refuse, ashes, paper and cardboard, sewage sludge, septic tank and cesspool pumpings or other sludge, useless or discarded commercial, industrial, demolition and construction materials, discarded or abandoned vehicles or parts thereof, discarded home and industrial appliances, manure, vegetable or animal solid and semisolid materials, dead animals and infectious waste as defined in ORS 459.386. “Solid waste” does not include:

(a) Hazardous waste as defined in ORS 466.005.

(b) Materials used for fertilizer or for other productive purposes or which are salvageable as such materials are used on land in agricultural operations and the growing or harvesting of crops and the raising of animals.

(c) Woody biomass that is combusted as a fuel by a facility that has obtained a permit described in ORS 468A.040.
