Order No.: DEQ 5-2017 Filed with Sec. of State: 7-12-2017 Certified to be Effective: 7-12-17 Notice Publication Date: 12-1-2016 Rules Adopted: 340-102-0200 Rules Amended: 340-100-0002, 340-101-0004 Subject: The primary purpose of the rule revision is to incorporate federal requirements into the state’s rules. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency authorizes DEQ to implement the federal hazardous waste rules in Oregon. To ensure consistency, DEQ must periodically update its rules by adopting new federal requirements. These changes provide consistency with the federal hazardous waste rules. DEQ is amending Oregon’s hazardous waste regulations, Chapter OAR 340, Divisions 100, 101, 102, to incorporate new federal hazardous waste rules to include: - A new rule simplifying waste management at academic laboratories; - Conditional exclusions for solvent-contaminated wipes; - EPA’s withdrawal of comparable fuels rule; and - Incorporating federal corrections to hazardous waste regulations.
