Uri,

Please review the email we would send to permit holders. Your review is due August 14.

Subject: Proposed Updates to the Oregon Civil Penalty Rules

As a person holding an AQ permit with DEQ or signed up for updates to the permitting program, you’re receiving this notification because DEQ is proposing updates to the Oregon Civil Penalty Rules.

DEQ is proposing that the Environmental Quality Commission adopt rules to implement 2009 Oregon legislation that increased DEQ’s civil penalty statutory maximums. These amendments, if adopted, will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval and as a revision to Oregon’s state implementation plan, a requirement of the Clean Air Act. The proposal affects businesses assessed a penalty for violating Oregon environmental regulations

DEQ will hold a public hearing on Sept.17, 2013 at 2 p.m. in room EQC-A on the tenth floor at DEQ’s Headquarters Office, 811 SW 6th Ave., Portland, Or. Oral and written comments will be accepted at the hearing.

For copies of the proposed rule package contact DEQ’s Office of Compliance and Enforcement located at 811 SW 6th Ave. in Portland, Ore. or call Jenny Root at 503-229-5874. Copies are also available on the DEQ website at: www.deq.state.or.us/regulations/proposedrules.htm. Written comments may be submitted anytime to the above address or via email to root.jenny@deq.state.or.us but must be received no later than 5 p.m. on Sept. 20, 2013.

Thanks,

Andrea

Subject: Division 12 rulemaking

Uri,

I’m helping Jenny with outreach for the division 12 rulemaking. Since it changes civil penalties, it’s a SIP update. When we open the comment period, would you like us to notify AQ permit holders and/or email the public who subscribe for updates in the permit program?
