Or. Admin. Code § 345-025-0010 - Site-Specific Conditions
The Council may include the following conditions, as appropriate, in the site certificate:
(1) If the facility uses coal, the
certificate holder must take all necessary steps to ensure that surface and
groundwater are not contaminated by run off or seepage associated with coal or
ash storage, transport or disposal. The certificate holder must handle coal and
ash so as to minimize the likelihood of coal dust and ash being windblown and
causing an environmental or public health problem. If the certificate holder
permanently disposes of ash on the facility site, the certificate holder must
cover the ash with a layer of topsoil and revegetate the area.
(2) If the energy facility or related or
supporting facility is a natural gas pipeline, the certificate holder must
submit to the Department copies of all incident reports involving the pipeline
required under
49
CFR Sec. 191.15.
(3) If the facility includes any pipeline
under Council jurisdiction:
(a) The
certificate holder must design, construct and operate the pipeline in
accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation as
set forth in Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 192, in effect on
August 15, 2011; and
(b) The
certificate holder must develop and implement a program using the best
available practicable technology to monitor the proposed pipeline to ensure
protection of public health and safety.
(4) If the facility includes any transmission
line under Council jurisdiction:
(a) The
certificate holder must design, construct, and operate the transmission line in
accordance with the requirements of the 2012 Edition of the National Electrical
Safety Code approved on June 3, 2011, by the American National Standards
Institute; and
(b) The certificate
holder must develop and implement a program that provides reasonable assurance
that all fences, gates, cattle guards, trailers, or other objects or structures
of a permanent nature that could become inadvertently charged with electricity
are grounded or bonded throughout the life of the line.
(5) If the proposed energy facility is a
pipeline or a transmission line or has, as a related or supporting facility, a
pipeline or transmission line, the Council must specify an approved corridor in
the site certificate and must allow the certificate holder to construct the
pipeline or transmission line anywhere within the corridor, subject to the
conditions of the site certificate. If the applicant has analyzed more than one
corridor in its application for a site certificate, the Council may, subject to
the Council's standards, approve more than one corridor.
(6) If the facility is a surface facility
related to an underground gas storage reservoir, the Council must, in the site
certificate, specify the site boundary and total permitted daily throughput of
the facility.
(7) If the facility
is subject to a carbon dioxide emissions standard adopted by the Council or
enacted by statute, the Council must include in the site certificate
appropriate conditions as described in OAR
345-024-0500 to
345-024-0720.
