Chapter 5. Fees And Regulations of California Health And Safety Code >> Division 26. >> Part 6. >> Chapter 5.
(a) The state board shall adopt a regulation which does all
of the following:
(1) Sets forth the amount of revenue which the district must collect to recover the reasonable anticipated cost which will be incurred by the state board and the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to implement and administer this part.
(2) Requires each district to adopt a fee schedule which recovers the costs of the district and which assesses a fee upon the operator of every facility subject to this part, except as specified in subdivision (b) of Section 44344.4. A district may request the state board to adopt a fee schedule for the district if the district's program costs are approved by the district board and transmitted to the state board by April 1 of the year in which the request is made.
(3) Requires any district that has an approved toxics emissions inventory compiled pursuant to this part by August 1 of the preceding year to adopt a fee schedule, as described in paragraph (2), which imposes on facility operators fees which are, to the maximum extent practicable, proportionate to the extent of the releases identified in the toxics emissions inventory and the level of priority assigned to that source by the district pursuant to Section 44360.
(b) Commencing August 1, 1992, and annually thereafter, the state board shall review and may amend the fee regulation.
(c) The district shall notify each person who is subject to the fee of the obligation to pay the fee. If a person fails to pay the fee within 60 days after receipt of this notice, the district, unless otherwise provided by district rules, shall require the person to pay an additional administrative civil penalty. The district shall fix the penalty at not more than 100 percent of the assessed fee, but in an amount sufficient in its determination, to pay the district's additional expenses incurred by the person's noncompliance. If a person fails to pay the fee within 120 days after receipt of this notice, the district may initiate permit revocation proceedings. If any permit is revoked, it shall be reinstated only upon full payment of the overdue fee plus any late penalty, and a reinstatement fee to cover administrative costs of reinstating the permit.
(d) Each district shall collect the fees assessed pursuant to subdivision (a). After deducting the costs to the district to implement and administer this part, the district shall transmit the remainder to the Controller for deposit in the Air Toxics Inventory and Assessment Account, which is hereby created in the General Fund. The money in the account is available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to the state board and the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment for the purposes of administering this part.
(e) For the 1997-98 fiscal year, air toxics program revenues for the state board and the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment shall not exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000), and for each fiscal year thereafter, shall not exceed one million three hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,350,000). Funding for the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment for conducting risk assessment reviews shall be on a fee-for-service basis.

Funding for the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment for conducting risk assessment reviews shall be on a fee-for-service basis.
A facility shall be granted an exemption by a district

following criteria are met:
(a) The facility primarily handles, processes, stores, or distributes bulk agricultural commodities or handles, feeds, or rears livestock.

or the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment upon the
operator of a facility that, at the operator's option, includes
supplemental information authorized by paragraph (3) of subdivision
(b) of Section 44360 in a health risk assessment, if the review of
that supplemental information substantially increases the costs of
reviewing the health risk assessment by the district, the state
board, or the office. The supplemental fee shall be set by the state
board in the regulation required by subdivision (a) of Section 44380
and shall be set in an amount sufficient to cover the direct costs to
review the information supplied by an operator pursuant to paragraph
(3) of subdivision (b) of Section 44360.
(a) Any person who fails to submit any information, reports,
or statements required by this part, or who fails to comply with
this part or with any permit, rule, regulation, or requirement issued
or adopted pursuant to this part, is subject to a civil penalty of
not less than five hundred dollars ($500) or more than ten thousand
dollars ($10,000) for each day that the information, report, or
statement is not submitted, or that the violation continues.
(b) Any person who knowingly submits any false statement or representation in any application, report, statement, or other document filed, maintained, or used for the purposes of compliance with this part is subject to a civil penalty of not less than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day for each day that the information remains uncorrected.

Every district shall, by regulation, adopt the requirements
of this part as a condition of every permit issued pursuant to
Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 42300) of Part 4 for all new and
modified facilities.
Except for Section 44380 and this section, all provisions of
this part shall become operative on July 1, 1988.
