Description of facility and application
Ingenium Group, LLC applied for a new solid waste facility license to receive and transfer industrial solid waste at the Ingenium Troutdale facility. The facility accepts and transfers non-hazardous industrial solid waste that requires special handling, such as lab materials and cleanup debris. Ingenium Troutdale collects, consolidates and transfers the waste as part of its commercial special waste collection service.
Ingenium Troutdale also manages and transfers hazardous waste as an Exempt Transfer Facility and must adhere to specific conditions established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including a 10-day limit to the amount of time the hazardous waste can be stored on site in closed containers prior to transfer. Metro does not regulate hazardous waste.
The Ingenium Troutdale facility is located in a multi-unit commercial warehouse that is zoned Heavy Industrial (IH), and the proposed use is allowed outright in this zone by the City of Troutdale. The facility is operated by Ingenium Group, LLC which leases the space from Pacific NW Properties.
A copy of the license application is available at the link below. Metro will respond to the comments received during the public comment period as part of a staff report and will post the report to this page when available. If the application is approved, Metro will issue a new license authorizing the facility to conduct the solid waste activities as described above. Metro may add additional requirements to the license based on the comments received. A standard Metro license generally has a term of five years.
