GLOSSARY

Authority to set fees
Water Code Section 13260 requires each person who dischargers waste or proposes to discharge waste that could affect the quality of the waters of the state to file a report of waste discharge with the appropriate regional water board and to pay an annual fee set by the State Water Board, the funds from which are to be deposited in the Waste Discharge Permit Fund (WDPF). Water Code section 13260 requires the State Water Board to adopt, by emergency regulations, an annual schedule of fees for persons discharging waste to the waters of the state. Water Code section 13260 further requires the State Water Board to adjust the fees annually to conform to the revenue levels set forth in the Budget Act.
