In support of the State of Oregon, as directed by and in coordination with FEMA, EPA will conduct oil and hazardous materials field operations
including:
- Perform safety inspections within the areas designated by the state/county to determine whether the properties therein represent a threat to the public; and
- Remove, or mitigate the threat presented by, specific articles and substances that, in the professional judgement of DEQ and EPA staff, present
an immediate threat to life or the health and safety of the public.
These necessary emergency protective measures will mitigate actual threats to the health and safety of the general public.
Activities that may be necessary to accomplish this mission include:
- Operation of a collection facility for hazardous articles and substances which necessitated removal;
- Transportation of hazardous articles and substances from the collection facility to a disposal facility; and
- Transportation and disposal of hazardous waste or household hazardous waste which necessitates immediate disposal.
