SALEM, Ore. Oregon state officials say that they will need to get more information from property owners before they can begin the bulk of the clean-up of debris left behind by the devastating September fires, including the Almeda and South Obenchain fires in Jackson County.
Crews contracted by the federal EPA largely wrapped up efforts to remove hazardous waste from the burn areas in November. Though those crews removed roughly 300,000 pounds of waste from damaged Oregon properties, it only represents a small fraction of the debris left behind in the wake of those September fires.

The Oregon Emergency Communications (E911) tax rate will increase from $1 to $1.25, beginning Jan. 1.
Phone companies and retailers are required to collect the tax and pay it to the Oregon Department of Revenue. The E911 tax provides about 24% of the total operating costs for 911 centers in Oregon.
Examples of products or services subject to the E911 tax include:
Landline telephone service.
Wireless telephone prepaid or postpaid service.
Additional prepaid minutes, regardless if the purchase is made at a retailer’s physical location, online or over the phone.
Examples of products or services not subject to the E911 tax include:
