Oregon DEQ: Land Quality - Solid Waste - Permits

Instructions: Fees for DEQ Registration or Permit Applicants

These fees are for facilities not previously permitted and do not apply to permit renewals or expansions of a currently permitted site.
Find the type of permit you desire, below, to determine the amount of the application processing fee. In most cases, the first year’s annual compliance fee will be due at the same time as the application fee (see details in table on reverse).
Submit the application processing fee with the permit application (and compliance fee, if required) for each new permit.
Make your check payable to "Oregon DEQ."
Note: Most permits/registrations are issued for up to 10 years. Short-term projects may qualify for a letter authorization; call DEQ.
