The 1995 Oregon Legislature established a dry cleaner environmental
program. In exchange for liability relief from cleanups and cleanup
costs, dry cleaners pay fees that go into a fund used to clean up
solvent contamination at dry cleaner sites. The law protects dry
cleaners, under specified circumstances, from individually having to
pay for environmental damage caused by the use of dry cleaning
solvents at their establishments.
