Gilbert Udi Veveldes, program manager for the fertilizers program, said AAFCO updated its label panel guidance in 2024 and that states are updating statutes or rules to maintain national uniformity. Sandow said California has already adopted the changes through legislation and Washington is pursuing similar updates.

Jonathan Sandow, deputy director at the Oregon Department of Agriculture, said Oregon established an \"as equal\" state meat-inspection program in 2022 in coordination with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He said a statutory omission prevented the state from inspecting poultry products and some added‑value poultry items, so the department worked with USDA to align statutes and rules. \"That's what Senate Bill 809 does,\" Sandow told the committee.

Sandow said the Department has worked closely with USDA and completed successful audits; the change is primarily a statutory clarification to incorporate the Poultry Products Inspection Act reference and make rule updates. Representatives asked whether the change would expand the number of poultry processors in Oregon; Sandow said the immediate effect is expected in the added‑value product space (prepared foods incorporating poultry) and that a separate USDA exemption (20,000-bird exemption) still applies to some small slaughter operations.

The committee held a public hearing and took questions; no formal committee vote was recorded at the hearing.","Deputy Director Jonathan Sandow told the committee Senate Bill 809 would add the Poultry Products Inspection Act references so Oregon’s state meat inspection program can inspect poultry and value‑added poultry products as part of the state’s 'as equal' arrangement with USDA.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6272803,"Committee reviews changes to speed removal of abandoned and derelict vessels",856,706000,1562000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3026107-2b8caab385db40b12832049e641ab77f&start=706&end=1562","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3026107-2b8caab385db40b12832049e641ab77f/thumbnail_706000.jpg","/articles/6272803/Oregon/Committee-reviews-changes-to-speed-removal-of-abandoned-and-derelict-vessels","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272803-3aa52fe08e2ee32d59a15f333b3b57a6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770742914&Signature=a9ohrGBgVqCObPBTQ~BWOgn4r0xXfTrLtNKeRRdYcED7tkpFxnY9f7LI7uwySi~WqSeM2HscQnClz7Ym3fkr2Y8cyFojSjM35xWqyxWulARhmjTHNfzjBItbfyD7c8xbCBdSYslsSzjcRJdGLhUu7PcdtrsR2EhYq-yvSaz9AXl6tS27DQ04UmLdu6A0-YjKbzLgcdh~R41HLZA7LKsUFk7ukdY25bJ~OX6-zqM3sQAaqzGlk8OU1S3fke24jIcF1hn9Ah6wrj~p44mwFOd1aycZHmSVlqzy9GXO4VbDeeTm~bLiaDzIIjxd4AO1zkgoBXtY7nFciU3l879bXyERsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senator Anderson and Department of State Lands officials told the Agriculture, Land Use, Natural Resources, and Water Committee that Senate Bill 795 would strengthen Oregon’s abandoned and derelict vessels (ADV) program by clarifying definitions and shortening notification periods.

Senator Anderson said the bill would help coastal and river communities from Lincoln City to Coos Bay by addressing hazardous boats that clog harbors, endanger navigation and pollute waterways. \"Removing these vessels quickly and efficiently is critical to protecting our environment and economy,\" Anderson said during the public hearing.

Josh Mulholland, Waterway Stewardship Program manager at the Department of State Lands, and project manager Dorothy Deal described recent removals and program needs. Mulholland said the legislature provided an initial $18,800,000 from the Monsanto PCB settlement in June 2023 to begin removals and to stand up a statewide ADV program. He highlighted a recent Columbia River dredge removal and a nine-boat removal project in Columbia County that were completed with partner agencies and local law enforcement.

Deal told the committee the current statute treats heavily damaged or disintegrated vessels the same as intact boats, which imposes lengthy notice and storage requirements even where a vessel is clearly unrecoverable. She said SB 795 would allow agencies to reclassify such hulks as marine debris and reduce pre-seizure notice and holding periods in cases where no owner can be found. \"When a boat is in such poor condition ... we're not going to consider it a boat anymore. It's marine debris. It can be handled, very efficiently,\" Deal said.

Speakers described hazardous-substance concerns: the dredge removal included peeling lead paint and PCB-contaminated materials; the dredge project cost roughly $1,300,000. Committee members asked about sale of recovered valuables; Deal said current and proposed statutes allow agencies to sell recovered items to offset costs but noted that recoverable valuables are uncommon.

The public hearing closed after committee questions; no committee vote was recorded at the hearing.","Senate Bill 795 would revise definitions and notice requirements for Oregon's abandoned and derelict vessels program, streamline removals and treat irrecoverable vessels as marine debris to speed cleanup, state officials told the committee.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6272808,"Committee hears emergency measure to let Marion County start North Santiam sewer construction",470,200000,670000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3026107-2b8caab385db40b12832049e641ab77f&start=200&end=670","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3026107-2b8caab385db40b12832049e641ab77f/thumbnail_200000.jpg","/articles/6272808/Oregon/Committee-hears-emergency-measure-to-let-Marion-County-start-North-Santiam-sewer-construction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272808-826195d69fba6b3c4a1db40177d879d5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770742914&Signature=kc66~P-pPFw-QASjlnrtM7tVSoQCPSUGlNDi0BpzvYHDZ2fD8Erv1Oaja~Q~jNu0nFxhXRij0ho6xiQ7yQ5tqQ7Cikla-w6~xwIvHQXCprRYSf7k10RyHhVQuHTUf~6D-UMwePZdFQY74JHHJwH0fhoiw66TssGPTurwdqo6JSMhmFYJDeyjfOUPb3v1SVtb5LLd0~ScrGkGxwCkPbkirAssKf3t2ZYk0b0GPWI1IXJccoB5j4JcrZx-BqlFlTrrvtlpQuJyRHwkcQTYETRhb~LjYr8YRLQ8WCv7KE70ddtK8f-pjIpLjzkucui4zQTNlskCkYRj6mONqHZDl3GDsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate and local officials told the Agriculture, Land Use, Natural Resources, and Water Committee on April 16 that Senate Bill 1189 would let Marion County begin construction on a sewer system for the North Santiam Canyon following the 2020 fires.

The bill is aimed at resolving a timing conflict between Oregon Department of Environmental Quality rules that prohibit direct discharge to three protected basins and federal guidance that applies when a city is effectively destroyed. Marion County officials said the measure would allow construction to start immediately after the governor signs the bill; it would not authorize sending wastewater into local rivers until DEQ completes a separate rule change.

Senator Fred Gerard, who represents rural parts of Clackamas, Marion and Linn counties, said the bill grew from a practical problem created by the Maui Supreme Court decision and subsequent federal guidance. \"This bill is a coab, a group sort of solution. Again, DEQ is showing some flexibility,\" Gerard said, adding thanks to the governor for stepping in. Marion County Commissioner Kevin Cameron and county staff described a tight schedule tied to ARPA spending.

County and project officials said Marion County holds $50,000,000 in ARPA funds earmarked for the sewer work and that the money must be obligated under federal guidelines by Dec. 31, 2026. Project manager Chris Einmo told the committee that the grant funds are administered by the state and reimbursed through Business Oregon as expenses are incurred. Commissioner Kevin Cameron said construction needs to begin no later than June 1 to meet that schedule. \"The construction of the system is such that to meet our ARPA guidelines and spend this money by 12/31/2026, the construction needs to start no later than June 1,\" Cameron said.

Jason Pulley, speaking for the City of Salem, described downstream public-health interests and said Salem relies on the North Santiam River for drinking water for more than 200,000 people. \"The city of Salem is fully supportive as a downstream user that relies on the North Santiam River to provide drinking water to over 200,000 people,\" Pulley said.

Speakers emphasized that SB 1189 would not resolve the regulatory conflict between DEQ's three-basin rule and federal permitting requirements; Marion County has filed a rulemaking request with DEQ and expects the DEQ rule-change process to run on a separate track. County staff projected the DEQ rule change could be completed in the spring of the following year and that testing and final steps would follow before any discharge occurred.

Committee leaders closed the public hearing and indicated they will hold a work session on SB 1189 to consider moving the bill to the House floor and to the governor. No formal committee vote was recorded during the hearing.

Marion County and the affected cities will need the statute to include an emergency clause so construction can begin immediately after gubernatorial signature; presenters described the measure as time sensitive given the ARPA spending deadline.","Lawmakers and local officials told the Agriculture, Land Use, Natural Resources, and Water Committee that Senate Bill 1189 would allow Marion County to begin construction on a sewer system for Gates and Mill City using $50 million in ARPA funds while a DEQ rule change proceeds.","actionData","errors"]
