Importance: Normal
Andrea, I was looking at the email below addressing the Updating on Oregon Civil Penalty Rules. The email below states that Permit holders (AQ) were informed but are other folks like licensed asbestos abatement contractors or other licensed individuals or companies informed of these rule changes? What about the other programs like Water Quality and Solid Waste are their sources being informed of these changes.
Thank you
Frank Messina

RMT,
Please forward this message to your permit staff since they might get calls from ACDP and Title V permit holders. DEQ is proposing a rulemaking to increase civil penalties. If adopted, permit holders who violate Oregon environmental regulations could see higher penalties. We emailed the below message to permit holders on August 15. DEQ’s office of compliance and enforcement mailed the rulemaking announcement to permit holders who do not have email addresses in TRAACS. Contact Jenny Root if you have questions about the rulemaking.
Thanks,
Andrea
