## - STATE LEGISLATION CHECKLIST

# • COmments on State Legislation Checklist
The entire checklist should be read in the light of ORS 459.445 as amended by Section 2 of House Bill 2145 (1985 Legislative Assembly). "The Commission and the Department are authorized to perform or cause to be performed any act necessary to gain interim and final authorization of a hazardous waste regulatory program under the prOVisions of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, P.L. 94-580 and P.L. 98-616 and federal regulations and interpretive and guidance documents issued pursuant to P.L. 94-580 and P.L. 98-616. The Commission may adopt, amend or repeal any rule or license and the Commission or Department may enter into any agreement necessary to implement this section."

DEFINITIONS Hazardous Waste: The state**definitio~** of hazardous waste in ORS 459.410(6) is disconnected from the state definition of solid waste but it allows for the classification of the same specific wastes as hazardous as does the federal definition. The use of the term "residue" in ORS 459.410(6)(b) can be construed to cover all wastes which are discarded, including wastes which are abandoned, recycled or considered inherently waste-like, that are intended to be covered by EPA's definition in RCRA 1004(21). The terms "any process of industry, manufacturing, trade or business or government or recovery of natural resources" is equivalent to the use of the terms "industrial, commercial, mining and agricultural operations and from community activities" in RCRA 1004(21). STANDARDS FOR HW TSD FACILITIES No. 14: Byrule, surface impoundments and waste piles closed with wastes left in place are considered to be landfills and thus subject to the requirements for landfills. See OAR 340-104-228 and -258. ENFORCEMENT 

# '. No.5: ORS 156.525 deals with intervention by citizens in PUC proceedings. Since this statute includes all proceedings before the agency, it obviously deals with citizen intervention in matters concerning the transportation of hazardous waste. The statute provides, in relevant part, that: (1) The commissioner may permit any person to become a party who might, on the institution of the proceeding, have been such a party, if application therefor is made before the final taking of evidence in the proceeding."

7.6

### ZC1478 (2) At any time before the final taking of evidence in a proceeding, any person may apply to the commissioner for permission to appear and participate in the proceeding. The commissioner shall determine the interest of the applicant in the proceeding and shall grant the application, subject to appropriate conditions, if he determines that such appearance and participation will not unreasonably broaden the issues or burden the record, and otherwise may deny the application." The statute, in and of itself, does not guarantee that the commissioner will grant intervention to any interested citizen. If a prospective intervenor is able to show, however, that his participation "••• will not unreasonably broaden the issues or burden the record •••" then he may participate•. 'v 

### However, if ORS 756.525 does not meet EPA's req\tirements't'" the commissioner could sign a memorandum of agreement with**~ijA~~~**
