In 2021, the legislature passed SB 246 which better defined investigative powers to pursue potential violations; clarified authority to require corrective action in the event of unlawful disposal; clarified authority to require preventative measures; and gave ODOE the authority to update and clarify, through rulemaking, what qualifies for an exemption from the term “radioactive waste."
On February 13, 2020, ODOE issued a Notice of Violation for disposal of radioactive materials in violation of Oregon state law at the Chemical Waste Management hazardous waste landfill near Arlington. The company was required to develop a detailed risk assessment and corrective action plan for the waste in the landfill, which was submitted in final format in April 2021.
