Section 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.
