Appendix 4547. Fees with respect to state permitted and authorized hazardous waste treatment facilities.

The CUPA shall charge and be paid an annual fee to defray the costs to the County of implementing the provisions of Section 25201.4 of the Health and Safety Code and related provisions of the Act on behalf of the CUPA, including without limitation the inspection of hazardous waste treatment facilities that have been permitted or authorized by the State of California pursuant to a permit-by-rule, conditional authorization or conditional exemption. The fee is hereby imposed for each such facility that is subject to such inspection. The person or persons who were issued or hold such permit or authorization or who are the owners or operators of the facility shall be jointly and severally liable to pay such fee. Such fee shall be due and payable upon demand by the CUPA.

The fee for each facility under a permit-by-rule or conditional authorization shall be:

Fee = 7A + 6AB

The fee for each facility under a conditional exemption shall be:

Fee = 0.5A + 0.5AB

Where with respect to both fees:

A = The EHS III contract hourly rate in effect as of the date the inspection occurs; and

B = The total number of fixed treatment units subject to the permit-by-rule, conditional authorization or conditional exemption, as the case may be, less one.
