Or. Admin. Code § 340-105-0120 - Hazardous Waste Management Fee
(1) Every person
who operates a facility for the purpose of disposing of hazardous waste or
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) that is subject to interim status or a permit
issued under ORS Chapter 466 shall pay a monthly hazardous waste management fee
by the 45th day after the last day of each month in the amount authorized by
ORS 465.375. For purposes of
calculating the fee required by this section, the facility operator does not
need to include hazardous waste resulting from on-site treatment processes used
to render a waste less hazardous or reduced in volume prior to land
disposal.
(2) The term "hazardous
waste" means any hazardous waste as defined by rules adopted by the
Environmental Quality Commission and includes any hazardous waste as defined in
OAR 340, division 100 or 101 or 40 CFR Part 261 handled under the authority of
interim status or a management facility permit.
(3) The term "PCB" shall have the meaning
given to it in OAR 340, division 110.
(4) The term "ton" means 2,000 pounds and
means the weight of waste in tons as determined at the time of receipt at a
hazardous waste or PCB management facility. The term "ton" shall include the
weight of any containers treated or disposed of along with the wastes being
held by the container.
(5) In the
case of a fraction of a ton, the fee imposed by section (1) of this rule shall
be the same fraction multiplied by the amount of such fee imposed on a whole
ton.
(6) Every person subject to
the fee requirement of section (1) of this rule shall record actual weight for
all waste received for treatment by incinerator or disposal by landfilling in
tons at the time of receipt. The scale shall be licensed in accordance with ORS
Chapter 618 by the Weights and Measures Division of the Department of
Agriculture.
(7) Accompanying each
monthly payment shall be a detailed record identifying the basis for
calculating the fee.
(8) All fees
shall be made payable to the Department of Environmental Quality. All fees
received by the Department of Environmental Quality shall be paid into the
State Treasury.
