CAO Fiscal Advisory Committee Meeting Sept. 23, 2019

The Cleaner Air Oregon Fiscal Advisory Committee for the Hazard Index rulemaking will hold a meeting on Monday, Sept. 23, 2019, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to obtain input from the committee on potential fiscal impacts associated with proposed rule updates to DEQ’s Cleaner Air Oregon program related to setting health standards for certain air toxics at existing facilities across Oregon.
 
DEQ will consider input from the committee related to potential cost impacts associated with proposed rules that would assign more protective health benchmarks, called Risk Action Levels, to certain toxic air contaminants that are expected to have developmental or other severe human health effects. DEQ will propose rules with the new Risk Action Levels to regulate existing sources that emit these chemicals, for approval by the Environmental Quality Commission. This rulemaking implements a process set out in Senate Bill 1541, passed by the Oregon Legislature in March 2018.

Public Participation

The committee meeting is open to the public through direct attendance, webinar, and a telephone conference line.
