(1) The provisions of this rule replace the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Sec. 262.11. (2) A person who generates a residue as defined in OAR 340-100-0010 must determine if that residue is a hazardous waste using the following method: (a) Persons should first determine if the waste is excluded from regulation under 40 C.F.R. Sec. 261.4 or OAR 340-101-0004; (b) Persons must then determine if the waste is listed as a hazardous waste in Subpart D of 40 C.F.R. Part 261; (c) Persons must then determine if the waste is listed under the following listings: (A) The commercial chemical products, manufacturing chemical intermediates, or off-specification commercial chemical products or manufacturing chemical intermediates identified in 340-102-0011(2)(c)(A)(i) and (ii) are added to and made a part of the list in 40 C.F.R. Sec. 261.33(e). (i) P998...Blister agents (such as Mustard agent) (ii) P999…Nerve agents (such as GB (Sarin) and VX); or (B) Hazardous waste identified in 340-102-0011(2)(c)(B)(i) and (ii) are added to and made a part of the list in 40 C.F.R. Sec. 261.31. (i) F998…Residues from demilitarization, treatment, and testing of blister agents (such as Mustard agent). (ii) F999…Residues from demilitarization, treatment, and testing of nerve agents (such as GB (Sarin) and VX). NOTE: Even if the waste is listed, the person still has an opportunity under OAR 340-100-0022 to demonstrate to the Commission that the waste from their particular facility or operation is not a hazardous waste. (d) Regardless of whether a hazardous waste is listed through application of subsections (2)(b) or (2)(c) of this rule, persons must also determine whether the waste is hazardous under Subpart C of 40 C.F.R. Part 261 by either: (A) Testing the waste according to the methods set forth in Subpart C of 40 C.F.R. Part 261, or according to an equivalent method the Department approves under OAR 340-100-0021, or
NOTE: In most instances, the Department will not consider approving a test method until the EPA approves it. (B) Applying knowledge of the hazard characteristic of the waste in light of the materials or the processes used. (e) If the waste is determined to be hazardous, the person must refer to Divisions 100–106 and 40 C.F.R. Parts 264, 265, 268 and 273 for possible exclusions or restrictions pertaining to management of the specific waste. NOTE: 40 C.F.R. Sec. 268.3 prohibits diluting a hazardous waste to meet Land Disposal Restriction treatment standards. Diluting waste without a permit to meet any hazardous waste standard is prohibited. (f) If the waste is not identified as hazardous by application of subsection (2)(b) or (2)(c), and/or (2)(d) of this rule, persons must determine if the waste is listed under OAR 340-101-0033. (3) A person who generates a residue, as defined in OAR 340-100-0010(2)(ee), must keep a copy of all documentation used or createdin determining whether the residue is a hazardous waste, under section (2) of this rule, for a minimum of three years after the waste stream is no longer generated, or as prescribed in 40 C.F.R. Sec. 262.40(c). The person is not required to create new documentation if no documentation is created in making the waste stream determination. Stat. Auth.: ORS 466.020 & 466.180 Stats.

Hazardous Waste Generator Fees (1)(a) A person must pay an annual hazardous waste generation fee if that person: (A) Generates more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of hazardous waste in any calendar month, or (B) Generates more than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of acutely hazardous waste in any calendar month, or (C) Accumulates more than 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) of hazardous waste at any time in a calendar year. (b) The Department will assess fees annually for hazardous waste management activities conducted in the previous year. (2)(a) The Department will assess a late charge equal to ten percent of the fee due if the Department does not receive the fees by the due date on the invoice. (b) The Department will assess an additional late charge of ten percent of the unpaid amount for each 30 days that the invoice remains unpaid. (c) After 90 days no further Department late charges shall be assessed; however, such invoices may be referred to the Department of Revenue for collection or collected in Small Claims Court. Accounts referred to the Department of Revenue for collection or collected in Small Claims Court shall be increased by 20 percent of the unpaid amount or $100, whichever is greater, to recover a portion of the costs for referral or collection. (3)(a) ORS 466.165 sets the base hazardous waste generation fee. (b) In order to determine annual hazardous waste generation fees, the Department may use generator reports required by OAR 340-102-0041, facility reports required by OAR 340-104-0075, information derived from manifests required by 40 C.F.R. Section 262.20, and any other relevant information. Unless density information is reported, the Department will use the following conversion factors: one metric ton = 1,000 kilograms = 2,205 pounds = 1.10 short tons = 1.31 cubic yards = 264.23 gallons = 4.80 drums (55 gallon). (c) The Department will calculate each person's hazardous waste generation fee by multiplying the base fee by the weight of each hazardous waste stream and by the fee factors listed below for the management method the person reports in the annual generation report (OAR 340-102-0041) as follows: (A) Management Method — Fee Factor; (B) Metals Recovery (For Reuse) — 0.50; (C) Solvents Recovery — 0.50; (D) Other Recovery — 0.50; (E) Hazardous wastewater that is not managed immediately upon generation only in on-site elementary neutralization unit(s) (ENU) or wastewater treatment unit(s) (WWTU) — 0.50; (F) Incineration — 1.00; (G) Energy Recovery (Reuse as Fuel) — 0.75; (H) Fuel Blending — 0.75; (I) Aqueous Inorganic Treatment — 1.00; (J) Aqueous Organic Treatment — 1.00; (K) Aqueous Organic and Inorganic Treatment (Combined) — 1.00; (L) Sludge Treatment — 1.00; (M) Other Treatment — 1.00; (N) Stabilization — 1.00; (O) Neutralization (offsite) — 0.75; (P) Land Disposal — 1.50; (Q) Management method unknown or not reported — 2.00; (R) RCRA-Exempt Management Elementary Neutralization Unit(s) on-site (Includes only corrosive characteristic hazardous waste that is managed immediately upon generation only in an on-site elementary neutralization unit(s)) — 0.00; (S) Permitted Discharge under Clean Water Act Section 402 or 307b (Includes only hazardous wastewater that is managed immediately upon generation only in an on-site wastewater treatment unit(s)) — 0.00. (4) Effective January 1, 1997, in addition to the annual hazardous waste generation fee, each hazardous waste generator shall be subject to an annual hazardous waste activity verification fee, upon billing by the Department, as follows: (a) Large Quantity Generator: $525; (b) Small Quantity Generator: $300; (c) Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator: No Fee.
