Chapter 459 - Solid Waste Management
Section 459.112 - Findings; fee for disposal of solid waste generated outside region.
(1) The Legislative Assembly finds:
(a) Solid waste management is a regional concern;
(b) Management of solid waste among the states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington and those counties in California and Nevada that share a common border with Oregon is interconnected and decisions related to solid waste management in one state can affect solid waste management in the other two states;
(c) It is appropriate that solid waste be managed on a regional basis; and
(d) It is not Oregon's responsibility to manage solid waste for states outside the region.
(2) Therefore, the Legislative Assembly finds it is appropriate that Oregon impose a fee for the disposal of solid waste in Oregon that was generated outside the region in order to:
(a) Compensate Oregon for managing solid waste for states outside the region; and
(b) Assure that the disposal of solid waste in Oregon is not less expensive for a state outside the region than for the state to dispose of the solid waste within the state. [1991 c.765 §3]
