Check out our video on DEQ. The Land Quality Division leads the department in achieving its mission by developing policy, implementation tools, and implementation priorities for improving Oregon's land quality and by protecting public health. The division is one of four divisions in the department's headquarters (the others are Water Quality, Air Quality, and Central Services).

The Land Quality Division contains over 229 positions (including regional Land Quality staff) and has a biennial budget of over $146 million. This position oversees the statewide Fuel Tank Seismic Stability program as well as the Hazardous Waste program's waste reporting, data management, and policy components. The Seismic Stability Program is a spill prevention program for facilities with regulated fuel storage tanks. Through facility assessments, mitigation plans, and construction inspections, the program is designed to promote the use of safe fuel storage practices according to established design, installation, or operation requirements. This work prevents spills by equipment failure due to large earthquakes. The Hazardous Waste Program protects human health and the environment by tracking and reducing the generation and ensuring safe management of hazardous waste and toxic chemicals. The Hazardous Waste program applies to approximately 500 businesses that are large and small quantity generators and thousands of businesses who are very small quantity generators. The program is responsible for permitting hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; inspecting hazardous waste generators; working with businesses to reduce toxic chemical and hazardous waste use; providing technical assistance to businesses on hazardous waste issues; and carrying out federal requirements that are delegated to Oregon. The headquarters Hazardous Waste team develops policy and guidance, develops pollution prevention strategies and initiatives, processes waste reporting submittals; performs fee invoicing; provides data management system development and support as well as translation of data to federal systems; manages commitments to EPA and federal grants; and performs reporting.
