DEQ is developing a temporary rulemaking proposal to revise certain greenhouse gas permitting requirements. The objective of the temporary rulemaking is to remove certain permitting requirements until DEQ determines how to address recent action by the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 23, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated portions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas regulations known as the Tailoring Rule.
Visit DEQ's website to view the proposed rules. On that website in October, DEQ will publish its Staff Report to the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission. DEQ plans to take the proposal to the Environmental Quality Commission for decision at the commission's November 2014 meeting.
