The bill amends the statutory fee schedule that the department of public health and environment charges for the discharge of pollutants into state waters. The bill recodifies the existing statutory fee structure and does not change the amounts of the existing fees, but does reorganize the existing fees into 5 new sectors. The bill introduces 3 new fees for regulated activities associated with the application of pesticides, the costs associated with reviewing requests for certifications under section 401 of the "Clean Water Act", and an application fee for new permits which will be credited toward the annual permit fee. The bill also extends the existing statutory expiration dates for permits associated with animal feeding operations.
