DEQ is requesting information from entities interested in working with DEQ as a certifier to out-of-state CRPFs handling Oregon-originated, USCL-related commingled recyclable material. In this role, the certifier would work with DEQ in accordance with a regulatory framework established by the department, with the outcome of ensuring facilities are meeting the requirements established under proposed OAR 340-096-0820 (see Appendix A), most notably the performance standards related to capture rates and outbound contamination rates and the periodic assessments the certifier would oversee (on DEQ’s behalf) to ensure a facility’s compliance with those performance standards. More information on the periodic assessments can be found in the proposed rule language under OAR 340-096-0820(6).
