1 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE DENNIS RICHARDSON SECRETARY OF STATE LESLIE CUMMINGS DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE STATUTORY MINOR CORRECTION DEQ CHAPTER 340 DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ARCHIVES DIVISION MARY BETH HERKERT DIRECTOR 800 SUMMER STREET NE SALEM, OR FILED 12/13/ :20 AM ARCHIVES DIVISION SECRETARY OF STATE FILING CAPTION: OAR Statutory Minor Correction CONTACT: Meyer Goldstein NE Multnomah St. Portland,OR Filed By: meyer goldstein Rules Coordinator AGENCY ATTESTS THE FOLLOWING CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE, ACCORDING TO ORS (7): Correcting grammatical mistakes in a manner that does not alter the scope, application or meaning of the rule AMEND: RULE TITLE: Effect of a Permit: Rule RULE SUMMARY: Deleted duplicate language in the note. RULE TEXT: (1) Definitions. The definitions in ORS 468B.138 are adopted by reference. In addition, for purposes of this rule, the following definitions apply: (a) Persistent Pollutants are substances that are toxic and that either persist in the environment or accumulate in the tissues of humans, fish, wildlife or plants, and are listed in Column 2 of Table A. (b) Permittee means a municipality in possession of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System or water pollution control facility permit issued by the DEQ pursuant to ORS 468B.050 for a sewage treatment facility that has a dry weather design flow capacity of one million gallons per day or more. (c) level is the concentration of a persistent pollutant in a permittee s effluent that, if exceeded, requires preparing a persistent pollutant reduction plan under ORS 468B.140. (2) levels. (a) levels for persistent pollutants are those values contained in Table A, or the analytical quantitation limit (concentration at which quantitative results can be reported with a high degree of confidence), whichever is higher. (b) levels are not standards of quality and purity for the waters of this state for the purposes of ORS 468B.048 or the federal Clean Water Act. (c) Except as specified in subsection (f), each permittee must measure the concentration of the persistent pollutants listed in Table A in its effluent, compare the results of these measurements to the initiation levels, determine whether any persistent pollutant exceeds its initiation level, and document this proposed determination in a report to DEQ. Existing permittees must file the report no later than 60 calendar days after receiving laboratory results. Permittees that first become subject to this rule after its effective date must file the report within 18 months after the permittee becomes subject to the rule, unless the permittee requests and is granted a longer period by DEQ. (d) DEQ will review this report to verify that the proposed determination is based on reliable information. If DEQ finds that the proposed determination is not based on reliable information, DEQ will make an independent determination of whether an initiation level has been exceeded.

2 (e) Except as specified in subsection (g), each permittee must prepare and submit to DEQ a written persistent pollutant reduction plan under ORS 468B.140(1)(a) addressing persistent pollutants that exceed the initiation level. Existing permittees must submit the plan no later than July 1, Permittees that first become subject to this rule after the effective date of this rule must submit the plan to DEQ within six months after the determination report required by subsection (c) is submitted, or, if DEQ makes an independent determination, six months from the date of DEQ s independent determination, or within a timeframe established by DEQ. (f) DEQ may suspend, by written order, the requirement to measure or develop a persistent pollutant reduction plan for a listed persistent pollutant under the following circumstances: (A) If DEQ determines it is not technically practicable to measure the pollutant in effluent or if DEQ removes a pollutant from the Priority Persistent Pollutant List; or (B) If, based on additional monitoring done under a persistent pollutant reduction plan, DEQ determines that it is unlikely that a pollutant exists in a permittee s effluent; or (C) If sampling of a permittee s effluent demonstrates that the pollutant concentration is lower than the initiation level; or (D) If DEQ determines that there are no available laboratories capable of performing the analysis for the pollutant; or (E) If a permittee is subject to duplicative or more stringent requirements addressing the same pollutant; or (F) For permittees that become subject to this rule after this effective date, if DEQ determines a pollutant is unlikely to be present in effluent based on a review of available effluent data at the facility or similar facilities in the state. (g) Permittees are not required to develop a persistent pollutant reduction plan to address cholesterol or coprostanol.
