Oregon DEQ Seeks Comments on Transfer Station Renewal Permit

Deadline for comments is May 30th.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is seeking input from interested parties on a request by Lane County Waste Management Division to obtain a renewal of a solid waste permit for its Cottage Grove Transfer Station in Cottage Grove, Ore.

 

The DEQ is seeking renew the existing solid waste transfer station permit for 10 years. The company’s existing permit expired July 31, 2005.

The facility is in compliance with its existing permit, and has had no recorded complaints or permit-related problems.

 

Written comments are due by May 30th. Parties can send comments by mail, fax or e-mail to Bob Barrows at the Oregon DEQ, Solid Waste Program, 750 Front St. NE, Suite 120, Salem, OR 97301. E-mail address is barrows.bob@deq.state.or.us. The fax number is (503) 378-4196.
