72-0302 - State air quality control fees.

§ 72-0302. State air quality control fees.    1.  All  persons,  except  those  required  to pay a fee under section  72-0303  of  this  article,  who  are  required  to  obtain  a   permit,  certificate  or  approval  pursuant  to  the  state  air quality control  program shall submit to the department a per emission point  fee  in  an  amount established as follows:    a.  $11,000.00  for  a  stationary  combustion  installation  having a  maximum operating heat input equal to  or  greater  than  fifty  million  British  thermal units per hour as stated on the most recent application  for a permit to construct or application for a  certificate  to  operate  and  which  emits  or has the potential to emit equal to or greater than  any one of the following:    (i) one hundred tons per year of oxides of nitrogen, or if located  in  a severe ozone nonattainment area, twenty-five tons per year; or    (ii) one hundred tons per year of sulfur dioxide; or    (iii) one hundred tons per year of particulates.    b. $2,000.00 for all stationary combustion installations which are not  included  under paragraph a of this subdivision and which have a maximum  operating heat input greater than fifty million  British  thermal  units  per  hour  as stated on the most recent application for a certificate to  operate.    c. $100.00 for a stationary combustion installation having  a  maximum  operating  heat  input less than fifty million British thermal units per  hour as stated on the most  recent  application  for  a  certificate  to  operate.    d.  $2,000.00  for  a  process  air contamination source for an annual  emission rate equal to or greater than twenty-five tons per year of  any  one   of   the   following:  sulfur  dioxide,  nitrogen  dioxide,  total  particulates, carbon monoxide,  total  volatile  organic  compounds  and  other  specific  air contaminants. The annual emission rate shall be the  actual annual emission rate as stated on the most recent application for  a permit to construct or application for a certificate to operate.    In  the  event  that  hours  of  operation  have  not  been specified on the  applications then maximum possible hours of operation (8760 hours)  will  be used to calculate actual annual emissions.    e.  $160.00  for a process air contamination source, except a gasoline  dispencing site, for an annual emission rate less than twenty-five  tons  per  year of any one of the following: sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide,  total particulates, carbon monoxide, total  volatile  organic  compounds  and  other  specific air contaminants. The annual emission rate shall be  the actual annual emission rate  as  applied  for  on  the  most  recent  application  for  a permit to construct or application for a certificate  to operate. In the event that hours of operation have not been specified  on the applications then  maximum  possible  hours  of  operation  (8760  hours) will be used to calculate actual annual emissions.    f.  $2,000.00  for  an  incinerator  capable  of charging two thousand  pounds of refuse per hour or greater.  The  charging  capacity  will  be  established  in  accordance  with  the  application  for the most recent  permit to construct or application for  a  certificate  to  operate  the  incinerator source and will be calculated on an emission point basis.    g.  $160.00  for  an  incinerator with a maximum design charge rate of  less than two thousand pounds of refuse per hour. The charging  capacity  will  be  established  in  accordance  with the application for the most  recent permit to construct or application for a certificate  to  operate  the  incinerator  source  and  will  be  calculated on an emission point  basis.    Provided, however, that where  a  city  or  county  is  delegated  the  authority  to  administer  the state air quality control program, or anyportion thereof, pursuant to paragraph p of subdivision two  of  section  3-0301  of  this  chapter  and  such  city  or  county collects a fee in  connection with the issuance of a permit, certificate or approval for  a  combustion   installation,  incinerator  or  process  air  contamination  source, no additional liability for fees under this section shall accrue  for the particular combustion installation, incinerator or  process  air  contamination source that is subject to the delegation.
