PROPOSED RULES

DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY


[ Order 08-05 -- Filed June 3, 2008, 11:51 a.m. ]

     Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 08-09-147.

     Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Rule amendment for chapter 173-224 WAC, Wastewater discharge permit fees.

     Hearing Location(s): Lacey Timberland Library, 500 College Way S.E., Lacey, WA, on July 8, 2008, at 1:00 p.m.; at the Hal Holmes Community Center, 209 North Ruby Street, Ellensburg, WA, on July 9, 2008, at 1:00 p.m.; and at the Spokane Regional Library, South Hill Branch, 3324 South Perry, Spokane, WA, on July 10, 2009 [2008], at 1:00 p.m.

     Date of Intended Adoption: August 5, 2008.

     Submit Written Comments to: Bev Poston, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98605-7600 [98506-7600], e-mail bpos461@ecy.wa.gov, fax (360) 407-7151, by July 15, 2008.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Bev Poston by June 25, 2008, TTY (877) 833-6341 or 711 for Washington relay.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: To increase fees for all wastewater and stormwater permit holders for FY2009 by 5.57% (the fiscal growth factor projection) as authorized by the state legislature. Ecology also will include a fee increase proposal for FY2010 totaling 5.39%, the fiscal growth factor projection, if a fee increase is authorized by the state legislature. If an increase is not authorized, FY2009 fees will remain. Moneys received fund the wastewater/stormwater permit program. Ecology also proposes to add a new definition for seafood processing to make clear what permitted activities fit into this fee category. An increase in the extreme hardship fee reduction for small business maximum is also being proposed. The fee will increase from $100 to $106 for FY2009 and $112 for FY2010. Ecology also proposes to clean up language that will allow the proration of fees for aquatic pest control permits so they are treated the same as all other permit holders.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: The fee increase will allow continued operation of the wastewater/stormwater permit program. Wastewater and stormwater permits are tools used by ecology to ensure that man-made activities that discharge into the various water bodies of the state are discharged at a level where they will not impair the water.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 90.48 RCW, Water pollution control.

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 90.48.465 Water pollution control.

     Name of Proponent: Department of ecology, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Bev Poston, Olympia, Washington, (360) 407-6425.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Chapter 173-224 WAC, Wastewater discharge permit fees, already provides relief from fees for small business with no more than one million dollars in gross revenue from the activity covered by the permit. To the extent there may be a disproportionate impact on small business, this provides mitigation, as would be required by the Regulatory Fairness Act (RCW 19.85.030) were a small business economic impact statement found to be necessary.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. Rules changing fee schedules are exempt from significant legislature [legislative] rule cost-benefit analyses (RCW 34.05.328) requirements. The exemptions apply to rules which set or adjust fees or rates pursuant to legislative standards. Legislative standards for these fees appear in RCW 90.48.465 Water pollution control (authorizing the fee). Ecology is proposing to increase fees by the state fiscal growth factor projections determined by the Washington state expenditure limit committee.
