§ 23.1-04-09 — Fees - Deposit in operating fund

The department by rule may provide for the payment and collection of reasonable fees for
the issuance of permits or registration certificates for registering, licensing, or permitting
hazardous waste generators, transporters, and treatment, storage, recycling, or disposal
facilities. The permit or registration certificate fees must be based on the anticipated cost of
filing and processing the application, taking action on the requested permit or registration
certificate, and conducting a monitoring and inspection program to determine compliance or
noncompliance with the permit or registration certificate. Any moneys collected for permit
licensing or registration fees must be deposited in the department operating fund in the state
treasury and any expenditure from the fund is subject to appropriation by the legislative
assembly.
