43152.15
. (a) In addition to the requirements imposed pursuant to
Sections 43152.7 and 43152.11, every generator subject to the fees
specified in Sections 25205.5 and 25205.9 of the Health and Safety
Code shall make a prepayment of the fee by site to the board which is
due and payable on or before the last day of August of each calendar
year. The prepayment shall be accompanied by a prepayment return in
a form prescribed by the board.
(b) For purposes of subdivision (a), the amount of the prepayment
shall be not less than either of the following:
(1) One hundred percent of the applicable fee imposed on the
generator, based on the generator's fee category as specified in
Section 25205.5 of the Health and Safety Code for the total volume of
hazardous waste generated by site during the period January 1 to
June 30, inclusive, of the current calendar year in which the
prepayment is due. The prepayment may be offset by fees paid by the
generator for a local hazardous waste management program conducted by
a local agency pursuant to a memorandum of understanding with the
department which includes the following:
(A) The local fees are paid for the current calendar year for
which the prepayment is due or the local fees are paid for the
preceding calendar year, if fees have not been paid for the current
year.
(B) The offset is subject to the limitations and requirements
specified in subdivision (c) of Section 43152.7.
(2) Fifty percent of the generator fee liability paid to the board
by site for the preceding calendar year provided the generator paid
a generator fee liability to the board for the preceding calendar
year for that site.
(c) The board shall credit the amount of the prepayment against
the amount of the fee due and payable for the calendar year in which
the prepayment is due.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, the
prepayment of a generator fee shall not be required for any amount
due that is less than five hundred dollars ($500), or for any other
amount due if the board determines that prepayment is not in the best
economic interest of the program.
(e) Any person required to make a prepayment pursuant to this
section who fails to make a prepayment by the due date specified in
subdivision (a) shall also pay penalties and interest in accordance
with Section 43155.
