2003 SESSION
HB 2315 Environmental permit fees.
Introduced by: Kenneth R. Plum | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Environmental permit fees. Directs the Virginia Waste Management Board and the State Water Control Board to establish a schedule of fees that recovers the full costs for operating the solid and hazardous waste programs and the water programs. During the 2002 Session, legislation was enacted that directed the Virginia Waste Management Board to develop a new permit fee schedule to cover no more than 20 percent of the direct costs of the hazardous and solid waste programs, using as the base the amounts allocated to these programs in the 2002 Appropriation Act; however, no individual permit fee could increase more than 300 percent. That legislation also tripled the statutory caps on water permit fees. There was a July 1, 2004, sunset on this new fee structure. However, this new measure would do away with the sunset and impose a new fee structure that will make the waste and water programs self-sufficient by assessing permit holders the full cost of administering the programs.
