Administrative Order No. DEQ 3-2017
Filed and effective Jan. 19,
2017
See Oregon
Bulletin March 2017

Rian
Hooff, 503-229-6865

The Oregon Ballast Water Management Program revised administrative rules in
Division 340-143 under the authority of ORS Chapter 783 and House Bill 2207
(2015). DEQ amended OAR 340-143-0010 to prevent the discharge of ballast water
that represents a high-risk for the transport and release of aquatic invasive
species. DEQ also amended OAR 340-143-0050 to specify management requirements
for vessels using shipboard ballast water treatment systems. This rulemaking
responded to gaps in existing regulations concerning aquatic invasive species
prevention practices.

The rulemaking incorporated recommendations from
the Task Force on Shipping Transport of Aquatic Invasive Species. DEQ also
convened an advisory committee made up of task force members and additional
interested parties to provide further input into DEQ’s rulemaking
effort.
