ORDINANCE NO. 20223
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2001 HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE TRACKING INSTRUCTIONS.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. Amendment IV to the Eugene Charter of 1976 was adopted at the general election
on November 5, 1996 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment provides in part that hazardous
substance users in Eugene shall file an annual materials balance report that lists inputs and outputs
of all hazardous substances obtained, used or generated. By Ordinance No. 20112 adopted by the
Council and approved by the Mayor on April 6, 1998, by Ordinance No. 20137 adopted by the
Council and approved by the Mayor on December 7, 1998, and by Ordinance No. 20188 adopted
by the Council and approved by the Mayor on February 28,2000, the City Council adopted the 1998,
1999 and 2000 Hazardous Substance Reporting Forms and Instructions, respectively.
B. The Toxics Board has reviewed the 1998, 1999 and 2000 Instructions, and developed
the 2001 Hazardous Substance Tracking Instructions for reports due April 1, 2002. The 2001
Instructions are substantially the same to the 2000 Instructions, except that they contain additional
reportable chemicals which were added by Administrative Order as authorized by Council.
C. Like the Instructions for prior years, the 2001 Instructions include numerous
provisions that simply describe explicit provisions of Amendment IV; some interpretations of the
Amendment; and some provisions that are necessary to implement the Amendment in a practicable
manner but which are not expressly contained in the Amendment. The Toxics Board has
recommended that the Council adopt the 2001 Instructions.
D. The Council approves the 2001 Instructions as being consistent with the terms and
intent of Amendment IV and House Bill 2431 adopted by the Oregon Legislature in the 1999
legislative session. The Council intends by this ordinance to adopt the 2001 Instructions as binding
on those persons covered by its terms.
E. The Council adopts this ordinance pursuant to its authority under both section 4 of
the Eugene Charter of 1976 and Article X of Amendment IV to the Charter.
