(1) By rule and after public hearing, the Environmental Quality Commission may prescribe criteria and conditions for excluding classes of disposal sites from the permit requirements of ORS § 459.205. Disposal sites so excluded shall be limited to those which, because of the nature or volume of solid waste handled, are not likely to create a public nuisance, health hazard, air or water pollution, or other serious problem. Facilities operated under a permit issued under ORS § 468B.050 or 468B.053 are not required to obtain a permit from the Department of Environmental Quality pursuant to ORS § 459.205. However, exclusion from the permit requirements of ORS § 459.205 does not relieve any person from compliance with other requirements of ORS § 459.005 to 459.105 and 459.205 to 459.385 and the rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
