WAC 173-326-050
Permit fees. (1) Generator site use
permit fee.
(a) For the purpose of assessing generators permit fees
(other than nuclear utilities, new generators, and applicants
requiring reinstatement), the total annual volume (cubic feet)
deposited by each generator during the previous calendar year
will be used. Nuclear utilities fees will be based on the
ratio found in (b) of this subsection.
(b) The annual site use permit fee for generators shall
be determined by the following ratio:
| Classification |
|
Ratio |
| < 50 cubic feet |
|
1x |
| > 50 < 500 cubic feet |
|
2x |
| > 500 < 1000 cubic feet |
|
5x |
| > 1000 < 2500 cubic feet |
|
10x |
| > 2500 cubic feet |
|
35x |
| Nuclear Utilities |
|
100x |
The value of x, which represents the annual base fee, will be
published in the Washington State Register pursuant to (c) of
this subsection.
(c) Fees will be adjusted annually, as required,
utilizing the 1x:2x:5x:10x:35x:100x ratio. Fee rates will be
published in the Washington State Register and distributed to
generators by the first day of each calendar year.
(d) A new generator's permit fees will be based on the
generator's estimate of the volume (cubic feet) of waste
requiring disposal during the first year. If a generator's
waste deposits exceed the generator's volume projection, the
permit will be suspended until additional fees are paid. Overpayment will be credited toward the site use permit fee
for the subsequent year.
(e) A generator or broker who has not obtained a new
permit by March 1, 1993, or fails to maintain annual renewal
of the permit shall include an additional payment of one
thousand dollars. The permit fee for these generators will be
based on the volume of waste disposed during the most recent
calendar year in which waste was disposed.
(2) Broker site use permit fee. The annual cost of a
permit for a broker shall be one thousand dollars.
