Commission review of alternative plan
- certification of alternative plan
(1)
If the alternative plan submitted under ORS 431.745 (Petition for alternative plan) (1) involves service facilities that are subject to the jurisdiction of the commission, the alternative plan shall be submitted to and reviewed by the Environmental Quality Commission and shall be approved or rejected by the commission within 30 days from the date of filing with the Oregon Health Authority. In reviewing the alternative plan, the commission shall consider whether, in its judgment, the plan contains a preferable alternative for the alleviation or removal of the conditions dangerous to public health. If the commission determines that the original plan provides the better and most expeditious method of removing or alleviating the dangerous conditions, it shall disapprove the alternative plan and inform the authority of its decision. The authority shall order the proceedings on the finding filed under ORS 431.740 (Notice to boundary commission) to resume.(2)
If the commission finds that the alternative plan provides a preferable method of alleviating or removing the dangerous conditions, the petitioners shall be granted six months within which to present to the commission information showing:(a)
That the affected territory has annexed to a city or special district authorized by law to provide the service facilities necessary to remove or alleviate the dangerous conditions, and that the financing of the extension of such facilities to the territory has been assured.(b)
Detailed plans and specifications for the construction of such facilities.(c)
A time schedule for the construction of such facilities.(d)
That such facilities, if constructed, will remove or alleviate the conditions dangerous to public health in a manner as satisfactory and expeditious as would be accomplished by the formation or annexation proposed by the original plans.(3)
The commission shall review the plan presented to it by the petitioners under subsection (2) of this section and shall promptly certify to the authority whether the requirements of subsection (2) of this section have been met. If the requirements have been met, the authority shall certify the alternative plan to the county court or boundary commission having jurisdiction and direct it to proceed in accordance with the alternative plan and in lieu of the plans filed under ORS 431.740 (Notice to boundary commission). If the requirements of subsection (2) of this section are not met by the petitioners, the authority shall certify that fact to the county court or boundary commission having jurisdiction and direct it to continue the proceedings on the plans filed under ORS 431.740 (Notice to boundary commission).
