Or. Admin. Code § 345-001-0020 - Purpose
(1) The purpose of
the rules of this chapter is to establish application requirements, review
procedures and standards for the siting, construction, operation and retirement
of energy facilities, for the transport of radioactive materials, and for the
disposal of radioactive waste and uranium mine overburden. These rules are to
ensure that the siting, construction, operation and retirement of energy
facilities and disposal facilities and the transport of radioactive materials
are done consistent with protection of the public health and safety and in
compliance with the energy policy and air, water, solid waste, land use and
other environmental protection policies of Oregon.
(2) Except as indicated otherwise, the
Council shall use the rules of this chapter to determine whether to grant or
deny a site certificate and, if the Council grants a site certificate for a
facility, to oversee the construction, operation and retirement of the
facility. The Council shall use the rules of this chapter in proceedings for
amendment, suspension, revocation, transfer or termination of a site
certificate.
(3) When the Council
deems appropriate, it may adopt additional rules on matters within its
jurisdiction. The Council shall adopt any additional rules relating to site
certificates sufficiently in advance of the close of testimony in a contested
case proceeding on a site certificate to allow parties to address the rule, or
if after the close of testimony, in sufficient time to allow the parties an
opportunity to supplement their testimony to offer evidence relating to the new
rule.
