Amended  IN  Assembly  April 28, 2003

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2003–2004 1st Ext.

Senate Bill
No. 4

Introduced  by Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review  ()

January 27, 2003

An act to amend Section 13260 of, and to add Section 13260.2 to, the Water Code, relating to water. An act relating to the Budget Act of 2003, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 4, as amended, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. Waste discharge fees Budget Act of 2003.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to achieve specified savings in the Budget Act of 2003. The bill would require the Director of Finance to prepare a report analyzing those actions necessary to implement this intent and deliver that report to the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider the budget.
The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

(1)The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, with certain exceptions, imposes on a person for whom waste discharge requirements have been prescribed, an annual fee established by the State Water Resources Control Board, not to exceed $20,000, but subject to an annual adjustment, on the basis of total flow, volume, number of animals, threat to water quality, and area involved. Under the act, the fees are deposited in the Waste Discharge Permit Fund, which is expended, upon appropriation, for the purposes of carrying out the act. The act requires all or part of the fees to be refunded if waste discharge requirements are waived. The act makes a person failing to pay a waste discharge fee, if requested to do so by a California regional water quality control board, guilty of a misdemeanor.

This bill, instead, would require each person for whom waste discharge requirements have been prescribed, or for whom a waiver has been granted, to submit an annual fee according to a fee schedule established by the state board. The bill would require the total amount of annual fees to equal that amount necessary to recover costs incurred in connection with the issuance, administration, reviewing, monitoring, and enforcement of waste discharge requirements and waivers of waste discharge requirements. The bill would require all or part of the annual fees to be refunded if the state board or a regional board determines that the discharge will not affect, or have the potential to affect, the quality of the waters of the state. The bill would delete a provision that exempts certain facilities for confined animal feeding operations from the annual fee requirement. Because failure to pay the annual fee under certain circumstances is a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program by expanding the scope of that crime.

The bill would require the state board to establish a fee in an amount sufficient to recover its costs in reviewing, processing, and enforcing “no exposure” certifications issued to facilities that apply for those certifications in accordance with a general industrial stormwater permit. The bill would require revenue generated pursuant to this provision to be deposited in the Waste Discharge Permit Fund. (2)The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
