Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule sets fees to be paid to the
				  department by owners/operators of commercial hazardous waste treatment, storage
				  and disposal facilities. The fees will fund hazardous waste compliance
				  inspections at these facilities. This rule also establishes procedures for
				  billing and payment of the fees.
(1) Applicability. Pursuant to section
				260.370.2., RSMo, this rule is applicable to owners/operators of hazardous
				waste facilities who have obtained, or are required to obtain, a hazardous
				waste facility permit and who accept, on a commercial basis for remuneration,
				hazardous waste from off-site sources for treatment, storage or disposal. If
				multiple facilities with unique United States Environmental Protection Agency
				(U.S. EPA) identification numbers are owned/operated by a person or company,
				the inspection fees applicable under this rule shall be paid by the
				owner/operator for each facility with a unique U.S. EPA identification
				number.
(2) Fees Applicable to
				Commercial Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities for
				Compliance Inspections.
(A) An annual fee not
				to exceed the values in Table 1 of this rule shall be assessed to each
				operating commercial hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility
				for hazardous waste compliance inspections. The applicable inspection fee in
				Table 1 shall be based on the volume of hazardous waste managed by the facility
				that was received from off-site sources during the period of July 1 of each
				year through June 30 of the following year. The department will use the data
				reported in the facility quarterly manifest summary reports that are submitted
				by the facility as required by
				10
				CSR 25-7.264(2)(E) and
				10
				CSR 25-7.265(2)(E) to determine the
				amount of off-site waste managed by each facility.
(B) For new facilities for which there is no
				facility quarterly manifest summary report data available, the facility shall
				submit to the department an estimate of the volume of hazardous waste that will
				be managed during the period from the date hazardous waste is first received
				from off-site to the following June 30. This estimate shall be provided to the
				department no later than thirty (30) days prior to the first expected receipt
				of hazardous waste from off-site. This estimate shall be submitted to the
				Director, Hazardous Waste Program, Missouri Department of Natural Resources,
				P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102. The inspection fee for new facilities
				shall be determined from Table 1 using the estimated volume of waste to be
				received from off-site for treatment, storage or disposal during the first year
				of operation. Existing facilities which have not received hazardous waste from
				off-site sources during the period of July 1 of each year through June 30 of
				the following year, and facilities which have changed ownership, will be
				considered new facilities for purposes of determining the applicable inspection
				fee from Table 1.
