B1 Support <br />Comments: <br />This bill is not expected to impact the City of Eugene directly since the City complies with <br />environmental regulations. However, since this bill increases out-dated penalty fees for <br />violation of environmental laws, they will provide a more meaningful deterrent against <br />negligent behavior which benefits the environment including in Eugene. Oregon DEQ's <br />penalty fees for violations of environmental laws were set in 1973 and at this point in <br />time, with inflation, are only worth about 25% of their original potency. Oregon's fees are <br />currently at the low end of the spectrum when compared to the rest of the country. <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Paul Klope PWE 1/29/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesVII.
