SALEM - The process used to amend a site certificate for larger energy facilities in Oregon will be under review at the next Energy Facility Siting Council meeting on May 25-26 in Salem. The meeting begins Thursday at 4 p.m. and reconvenes Friday at 8:30 a.m. at the Oregon Department of Energy, 550 Capitol St. NE.

The main items on the Council’s agenda include:

  • Amendment Rulemaking: There will be a public hearing, with time each day to address the Council, for the Oregon Department of Energy’s efforts to update Oregon Administrative Rules related to amending a site certificate. After the hearing, the Council will deliberate on how it wishes to proceed with the proposed rules.
  • Nuclear Safety Presentation: Ken Niles, ODOE’s Assistant Director for Nuclear Safety, will give the Council an overview of the various responsibilities of his division and its interconnection with the Council’s rules.
