OAR 340-093-0260 through
340-093-0290 establish criteria
and procedures for determining if the use of a solid waste is a beneficial use.
OAR 340-093-0270 lists approved
standing beneficial uses of solid waste. The Department may approve
case-specific beneficial uses of solid waste according to the criteria and
procedures in OAR 340-093-0280 and
340-093-0290.
(1) A beneficial use determination is not
needed for the:
(a) Disposal of solid waste
that is exempt from permit requirements under OAR, chapter 340, divisions 93 or
96; or
(b) Recycling of a
recyclable material under the Recycling and Waste Reduction Rules, OAR chapter
340, divisions 90 and 91.
(2) The Department will review and approve
the beneficial use of a solid waste at a permitted solid waste or hazardous
waste disposal site through the applicable permit.
(3) The Department may consider the policy
and waste management hierarchy in ORS
459.015(2)(a)
in making case-specific beneficial use determinations under OAR
340-093-0290.
(4) A solid waste managed according to a
standing beneficial use determination under OAR
340-093-0270 or a case-specific
beneficial use determination under OAR
340-093-0280 and
340-093-0290 is not regulated as
solid waste.
(5) The Department may
review solid waste uses authorized before the effective date of this rule and
may require the recipient of a prior authorization to apply for and obtain a
case-specific beneficial use determination to continue implementing the earlier
approved use, if the use is not a standing beneficial use under OAR
340-093-0270.
(6) OAR
340-093-0260 through
340-093-0290 do not supersede
any city or county authority under ORS Chapter 268, 459, or 459A.
