The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will hold an informational meeting on air quality and solid waste permits for Oil Re-Refining Company at 6 p.m. Monday, in the Klamath Union High School cafeteria, 1300 Monclaire St., according to a news release. The company does business as Industrial Oils and is located at 1291 Laverne Ave. in Klamath Falls.

DEQ intends to renew the Air Contaminant Discharge Permit and draft a new solid waste transfer station permit for the facility.

Industrial Oils reclaims approximately 14,000 tons of used oil annually. They also accept used oil filters, oily solids and antifreeze. Those wastes used to be burned for energy recovery. The company has stopped burning them for energy recovery and they will, instead, be stored and transported to their Portland facility for proper treatment, recycling or disposal.

The air quality permit is a renewal of the existing permit, originally issued in March 2009. The proposed solid waste permit is a new transfer station permit to allow for the storage and transfer of the wastes listed above.
