Derek Nelotin, representing Resource, a materials recovery and transfer facility in Brooks, Oregon, said Resource opposes SB 1067 and submitted a list of what the facility called unintended consequences. Nelotin said Resource and local franchise haulers built the county\u0000\u0000's first construction-and-demolition processing facility and have scaled operations to receive large volumes of Marion County material. Kevin Hines, also representing Resource, testified the facility received 28,000 tons in its first year, processed a new state-of-the-art facility in 2021, received over 300,000 tons in 2024, and projected over 400,000 tons in the current year. Hines said Resource recovered and diverted 75,000 tons last year, contributing a 25% recovery rate to Oregon's 39% statewide recovery rate; he also noted Marion County's recovery rate at 46%.

Shane Kinsey, representing the Mid Valley Haulers Association, said franchise haulers originally took a neutral stance but moved to oppose the bill because no city has expressed full support and because the county\u0000\u0000wide franchise system is designed for cross-jurisdiction efficiency. Kinsey said many residential routes operate inside and outside city limits on the same truck and that if cities independently directed disposal, haulers might lose routing efficiency, face higher fuel costs, and need additional trucks to keep loads separated. He warned those changes would likely raise collection rates for Marion County ratepayers. \"We're not opposing cities having autonomy,\" Kinsey said. \"We just wanted to bring educational to the unintended consequences, which would be the loss of routing efficiency and likely higher rates for Marion County residents.\"

Representative Levy asked witnesses whether cities had requested the bill; the witnesses said they were unsure of the bill's origin and that they had not heard full city support. Representative Anderson questioned where the diverted material went; witnesses described commingled recycling going to Portland-area processors, food/compost to a compost facility (PRC), wood to a cogen facility, metal to a local recycler, and aggregate used for fill in riverbeds or ponds.

Jim Shepke of 350 Salem testified in support of SB 1067, saying the law that removed Salem\u0000\u0000's authority over its waste dated to the early 1980s and was passed to support the Marion County incinerator in Brooks. \"Simply put, Senate Bill 1067 is about local control,\" Shepke said, arguing Salem should be able to direct disposal of waste generated within its boundaries. He said the bill would not prevent cooperative planning with Marion County but would restore negotiating leverage to cities.

Chair Lively closed the public hearing. The committee did not take a vote on SB 1067 during this meeting; no work session outcome was recorded. The committee carried over other work sessions and adjourned.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Committee On Climate, Energy, and Environment 05/13/2025 8:00 AM","oneSentenceSummary","At a public hearing on Senate Bill 1067, waste-hauling companies and a materials recovery facility opposed the bill over concerns it would disrupt regional routing efficiency and raise rates; local advocates and 350 Salem supported the measure as restoring Salem\u0000\u0000authority over city-generated solid waste.","taxTitle","Climate, Energy, and Environment, House of Representatives, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",17502,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6061789,"Committee advances bill to expand solar rebate program to paired energy storage",66,250000,316000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3281056-fdb5c66204c2e07772d499cd746f01a3&start=250&end=316","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3281056-fdb5c66204c2e07772d499cd746f01a3/thumbnail_250000.jpg","/articles/6061789/Oregon/Committee-advances-bill-to-expand-solar-rebate-program-to-paired-energy-storage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6061789-b04330cc7ed85a1745f35460b039edf4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770764794&Signature=nIfVChHE55Tp1ri78CN~t1ifbOhitrGFcFeXOLm8~TJnzBUDP2Be2tPxDgLDl88pFFhSQPxoEiWFIzQlnFLFb11vxVJ9d3S9QmaBDw6g3Rx1WSDCtcEnuEoRM~PmLeAAM1DUOHD1nLsc6PdCxBri8Kza8w~QD8vKxT8VTCifBas~Xck0qIsMRpicPf~a4TBy1JcOJe32DycNIYzrriUryTI~SFyhPKDkZU~~YhXKwQfAvpNu4vdEF9qz7I51E-C8FRGUH9M7c~Lq1kzcYyMahrZKDF1MoykBd4lwSiQtW~zQYpFIqJmdCPxWOK-KLHuGiHuNt6yqUxLZKWDqeo00~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair Karen Lively opened a work session on Senate Bill 827 and the committee voted to advance the bill to the House floor with a do-pass recommendation.

The bill would expand the Oregon solar and storage rebate program to offer rebates for energy storage systems that are paired at the time of installation with previously purchased and installed solar electric systems. The chair said there was no fiscal or revenue impact; the committee recorded no amendments.

Representative Owens said he would vote \"no\" on the motion, stating he believed the solar rebate program was \"probably on life support with the budget situation\" and that limited funding would make pairing storage with solar \"not cost effective.\" Vice Chair Gamba moved the bill to the floor with a do-pass recommendation. During the roll call several members recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed.
