Oregon · DEQ
Use the clean-decommissioning certificate route when looking for a registered closure without a leak project. It is separate from cleanup records.
Before you search
House number and street name; DEQ reference if available; approximate work year.
Bring what you have. Missing identifiers can be part of the route review.Open Your DEQ Online Public Records, then Permits/Licenses/Certificates. Choose PLC Type HOT Clean Decommissioning and Environmental Interest HOT Decommissioning. You are looking for an existing record, not filing a new decommissioning.

The clean-decommissioning record and available supporting document for the matching site.
Compare the PLC reference, location and work described with your paperwork.
Still missing? A search result or contractor license is not the site's decommissioning certificate.
Open the document control and keep the actual file, its title and date.
Still missing? If the document control has no file, record an attachment gap and use DEQ records access.
Keep older work dates and any separate leaking-HOT reference visible.
Still missing? Use the cleanup route for a leak file; do not substitute a clean-certificate search.
Comparison checklist by Oil Tank Route, based on the official routes above. Not an agency certification, document authentication or a property-safety finding.
Your private record worksheet
Prepare search keys here, open the official sources above, then record what happened. Nothing is searched or sent automatically. A postal city or ZIP does not establish legal jurisdiction.
Suggested document scope for this route: the HOT clean-decommissioning certificate and available supporting decommissioning report. Narrow this to the files you still need.
Start with the identifiers and first applicable source. An online blank, an inaccessible portal and an agency no-record reply are three different outcomes.
No result is not proof of no tank. A candidate document still needs its property, issuer, dates and stated scope checked.
Review and edit bracketed fields after copying. Use the agency’s current official form, disclosures and fee instructions. Drafted ≠ sent ≠ acknowledged ≠ delivered.
Default: this tab’s session only. Device saving is optional; avoid it on shared devices. No property details enter the page URL or analytics.
Self-service guidance only here. Human research assistance is currently limited to New Jersey and New York.
Make the request specific
Please provide existing clean decommissioning records for [property], work approximately [dates], reference [number if known]. I searched [module and terms] on [date] and still need [document].
Replace the bracketed fields and follow the agency’s current form, disclosure, and fee instructions. This is a draft, not a sent request.
A registration is not a guarantee about present site conditions. No online result does not establish that a tank was never present. Oregon assistance here is self-service only.
