Suplementarios de DEQ permite que hasta el 80% de las multas se destinen a
proyectos que benefician la salud de las personas y el ambiente. “Sabemos que
muchas infracciones ocurren en comunidades ya sobrecargadas y DEQ seguirá
responsabilizando a los infractores”, dijo Kieran O'Donnell, gerente de la
Oficina de Cumplimiento y Ejecución. “Estamos buscando la opinión del público
sobre cómo el DEQ puede incorporar los principios de justicia ambiental a la
política de la SEP, para que las comunidades sobrecargadas puedan impulsar el
proceso de selección de proyectos”. Estas sesiones iniciales de escucha está
programadas en los siguientes horarios. Habrá interpretación al español. Sesión
Nro. 1: 6 de junio de 2023 | Mediodía a 1:00 p. m. Zoom: ordeq.org/sep-mtg1
Sesión Nro. 2: 7 de junio de 2023 | 6:00 a 7:00 p. m. Zoom: ordeq.org/sep-mtg2
Además, DEQ planea organizar reuniones abiertas regulares a partir del otoño de
2023, por lo que los posibles destinatarios de la SEP y el público puedan
comunicarse fácilmente con el personal de DEQ. Los comentarios también se pueden

DEQ ASKS FOR COMMUNITY INPUT ON ENFORCEMENT POLICY
In early June, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will be holding
two virtual listening sessions to discuss updating its Supplemental
Environmental Project policy, in which funds from violations can go towards a
community project that benefits public health or the environment. The focus of
these listening sessions is to hear how… community-based organizations and
communities thinks DEQ could update the policy to be more equitable and
accessible. DEQ enforces environmental laws to protect Oregon’s air, land and
water. The DEQ Office of Compliance and Enforcement issues fines and requires
violators to correct violations. Typically, these fines go to the state of
Oregon general fund. DEQ’s Supplemental Environmental Project policy allows up
to 80% of fines to go to projects that benefit human health and the environment.
“We know that many violations occur in already overburdened communities and DEQ
will continue to hold violators accountable,” said Kieran O’Donnell, manager for
the Office of Compliance and Enforcement. “We’re looking for direction from the
public on how DEQ may incorporate the principles of environmental justice into
the SEP policy, so that overburdened communities can drive the project selection
process.” These initial listening sessions are scheduled at the times below.
Spanish interpretation will be available. Session #1: June 6, 2023 | Noon – 1:00
p.m. Zoom: ordeq.org/sep-mtg1 Session #2: June 7, 2023 | 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. Zoom:
ordeq.org/sep-mtg2 In addition, DEQ is planning on hosting regular open meetings
starting in fall 2023, so potential SEP recipients and the public have easy
access to DEQ staff. Feedback can also be provided by email at
sep@deq.oregon.gov. This work is the result of a partnership between DEQ
enforcement and a number of community-based organizations that have asked DEQ to
provide more information about SEPs and to evaluate how the policy could be
improved. To stay informed about enforcement work and the update to this policy,
you can join the ‘enforcement actions’ email list through GovDelivery. Read more

ELECTIONS DIVISION REFERS NISHAD SINGH INVESTIGATION TO OREGON DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE
The Oregon Elections Division will refer an investigation into Nishad Singh to
the Oregon Department of Justice for review and, if warranted, criminal
prosecution. The investigation stems from a $500,000 contribution to the Oregon
Democratic… Party in October of 2022 that was incorrectly reported as
originating from Prime Trust LLC. “Nishad Singh admitted under oath in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York that he agreed to make
political donations in his own name that were funded with money from Sam
Bankman-Fried's companies FTX and Alameda,” said Alma Whalen, Elections Manager.
In addition to Mr. Singh’s admission in court, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for
the Southern District of New York told the Democratic Party of Oregon that it
believed the $500,000 contribution at issue in this case was funded with money
wrongfully taken by Sam Bankman-Fried from FTX and Alameda. “After a 7-month
investigation, we believe this is sufficient information to justify a referral
to the Oregon Department of Justice to consider prosecuting Mr. Singh under
state law for making a contribution in a false name,” Whalen said. The
investigation did not find clear evidence that the Democratic Party of Oregon
knew the true donor when they reported the contribution last year. Instead, the
investigation determined that the Party could have taken more care with its
compliance. Therefore, in a settlement with the Party, the Elections Division
will require the Party to publicly share the steps they are taking to prevent
future mistakes and report on their follow through. These oversight requirements
will serve the public interest through transparency and future compliance with
campaign finance laws – an outcome that could not have been achieved in court.
The Party will pay a $15,000 fine and up to $50,000 in total fines if it does
not comply with the oversight measures. If additional information comes to
light, the settlement does not prevent reopening an investigation into the
Party.
