The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)is overseeing a cleanup of soil contaminated by dioxins at J.H. Baxter & Co., a wood treatment facility in west Eugene, that has extended into the residential neighborhood to the north. DEQ also regulates the facility, which produces utility poles, railroad ties and other treated wood products, through wastewater and hazardous waste rules and is engaged in settlement talks with the company following a $223,440 fine issued by the agency on March 4, 2021.
