Hazardous Waste
The Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) is authorized by the federal
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate hazardous waste
(HW) in
Oregon. Proper hazardous waste management is an integral part of
protecting Oregon's land, air, and water systems. The DEQ strives to
enforce existing environmental regulations; identify management
strategies that emphasize sound science and engineering; and work in
partnerships with private industry and governmental groups to
provide assistance and regulatory flexibility, while at the same
time reducing pollution.
The information in this section is for businesses and other organizations that produce and manage hazardous waste. The material does not apply to wastes produced by households.
