The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is proposing rules to expand Oregon’s greenhouse gas emissions reporting program. The Environmental Quality Commission adopted rules in 2008 that require certain Oregon businesses and other industrial and municipal operations to report greenhouse gas emissions to DEQ. DEQ is now proposing rules to expand the reporting requirements to additional sources of greenhouse gases in Oregon including electricity suppliers and fuel distributors. In addition, the proposal would establish fees for reporters that hold air quality permits with DEQ and update the reporting program.
The public can comment on the proposed rules in writing or at hearings that will be hosted across the state. Click here for the rulemaking documents and more details on how to comment.
All comments must be received by DEQ by 5:00 pm July 21, 2010.
