Or. Admin. Code § 340-140-0100 - Confiscated Materials Management
(1)
In carrying out cleanup operations, items with residual contamination, in
addition to hazardous waste, may be taken into custody and turned over to the
Department by a law enforcement agency to protect public health and/or the
environment. Any such items will be managed according to the appropriate
statutes and rules for those materials. Unless otherwise regulated, these items
may be handled in the following ways:
(a)
Items where the value after decontamination will be less than the cost of
decontamination will be disposed of as solid waste, or to provide additional
security, as hazardous waste;
(b)
Items not characterized as hazardous waste may be held until an acceptable
recipient capable of decontaminating the items, and/or salvaging parts of the
items, can be found. Recipients may be considered acceptable and capable of
decontaminating or salvaging if they engage in that business professionally and
have proper business license, and if required, Health Division approval. They
must be willing to accept all risks and liabilities associated with ownership,
operating, or reselling potentially contaminated items.
(2) All revenue generated by the Department
under subsection (1)(b) of this rule will be deposited in the Illegal Drug
Cleanup Fund.
