On November 15, 2019, Oregon's Environmental Quality Commission adopted proposed amendments to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's rules at chapter 340, division 101. These rules affect delisting a specific substance as a hazardous waste.

Summary

This rulemaking delists a specific substance from being listed as a hazardous waste. The affected substance is electroplating wastewater treatment sludge that Pacific Cast Technologies produces. Pacific Cast Technologies petitioned DEQ to delist this substance on the grounds it does not contain the substances which originally caused the waste to be classified as hazardous. DEQ agreed with the petition.
