OR SB1004

Reduces air pollution monitoring requirements for municipal solid waste incinerators from continuous monitoring to annual monitoring for 15 contaminants including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, dioxin/furan, PCBs, and heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium

Removes requirements that incinerator operators use continuous emissions monitoring systems or continuous automated sampling systems where technologically feasible

Grants the Department of Environmental Quality authority to modify monitoring plans if methods are not technologically feasible or if lower-cost alternatives exist that would not significantly impair data quality

Requires DEQ to submit a report to Legislative Assembly committees within three months after completion of annual monitoring, with potential recommendations for legislation

Declares an emergency, making the act effective immediately upon passage
