Or. Admin. R. 345-050-0010 - Purpose and Applicability
(1)
Because virtually all materials contain some radioactivity, the purpose of the
rules in this division is to identify those materials that present such small
health hazards that they are exempt from the provisions of ORS
469.525 and may be disposed of
within the state.
(2) The rules in
this division establish standards for the siting of facilities for disposal of
wastes that were generated before June 1, 1981, through industrial or
manufacturing processes and that contain naturally occurring radioactive
isotopes. These rules implement the requirements of ORS
469.375,
469.470 and
469.501 to
469.559 for such waste disposal
facilities. Except as provided in OAR 345-050-0060, these rules do not apply to
uranium mine overburden or uranium mill tailings, mill wastes or mill
by-product material that are subject to OAR chapter 345, divisions 92 and
95.
