OAR 340-043-0060: Exemption from State Permit for Hazardous Waste Treatment or Disposal Facilities

(1) The state hazardous waste program requires a permit for the “treatment,” “storage” or “disposal” of any “hazardous waste” as identified or listed in OAR 340, division 101 from the Department, prior to the treatment and disposal of wastes. Permitting requirements can be found in OAR 340, division 105, Hazardous Waste Management. (2) However, any operation permitted under this division, which would otherwise require the neutralization or treatment of hazardous waste and would require a permit pursuant to OAR 340, division 105, shall be exempt from the requirement to obtain such hazardous waste treatment permit. (3) All mined materials disposed of under this Division shall pass Oregon’s hazardous waste rule criteria or they will be considered a state hazardous waste and must be disposed of accordingly.
