OAR 340-245-0120
Community Engagement

(1) The purpose of community engagement is to inform the community and provide a mechanism for input to DEQ’s work with sources that are called into the program. The requirements of this rule are intended to ensure that consideration of environmental justice is appropriately emphasized throughout implementation of this division.
(2) Notification. When public notice is required under this division, DEQ will, at a minimum, notify persons with an address in the notification area. DEQ will provide a 30 day notice of any public meeting by sending an email through GovDelivery or mailing written notice via U.S. mail to such persons. DEQ may enhance the public notice procedures at its discretion.
(3) Public meetings.
(a) DEQ may hold one or more public meetings for new, reconstructed, modified and existing sources if the owner or operator requests Source Risk Limits greater than any of the Community Engagement Levels except as allowed by OAR 340-245-0130 (Risk Reduction Plan Requirements)(6). DEQ, in consultation with persons who live or spend time within the notification area, may determine that another forum for communication, as listed in section (4), in lieu of or in addition to a public meeting, is appropriate;
(b) If DEQ does not hold a public meeting, DEQ will provide written notice via U.S. mail to all persons with an address in the notification area that the owner or operator has requested Source Risk Limits greater than any of the Community Engagement Levels except as allowed by OAR 340-245-0130 (Risk Reduction Plan Requirements)(6);
(c) DEQ may also hold one or more public meetings for any other reporting, monitoring or permitting action associated with activities under this division;
(d) In planning and holding public meetings, DEQ will consider:
(A) A location that is Americans with Disabilities Act compliant, is convenient for community members to attend and can be accessed by public transportation, if available;
(B) The timing of the meeting, scheduling in a manner that is convenient to the majority of attendees;
(C) Whether translation services and childcare are necessary, and may provide such services if needed; and
(D) Best practices for public and community meetings as identified in resources published by the State of Oregon Environmental Justice Task Force and OHA;
(e) When DEQ determines to hold a public meeting under this division regarding a source, then the owner or operator must pay the applicable community engagement fee specified in OAR 340-216-8030 (Table 3 — Cleaner Air Oregon Specific Activity Fees) Table 3, and at least one representative of the owner or operator must appear at the public meeting.
(4) Other forums for communication. Other forums for communication may include any or all of the following:
(a) Notifying the community of information and reports submitted by an applicant required by this division by sending an email through GovDelivery or mailing written notice via U.S. mail;
(b) Posting all information and reports submitted by an applicant on the DEQ website;
(c) Attending community forums or other local meetings when requested by the community. The representative of the owner or operator is not required to attend this type of meeting;
(d) Electronic meeting forums such as webinars or conference calls; and
(e) Other activities as determined necessary by DEQ.
