SUMMARY AS PASSED:

The bill also triples the statutory caps on water permit fees. There is a July 1, 2004, sunset on the new fee structure. This bill is identical to SB 592.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Waste and water permit fees. Directs the Virginia Waste Management Board and the State Water Control Board to develop new permit fee schedules that reflect that portion of the agency's cost of implementing its waste management and water permit programs that are not covered by general fund appropriations and federal grants. Currently, the permit fees are based on costs of processing the permit application. The bill also removes the statutory caps on the various water permits and leaves it to the State Water Control Board to set the fee based on program implementation costs.
