The hazardous waste control laws require the Department of Toxic Substances Control to regulate the handling and management of hazardous waste and hazardous materials. A violation of the hazardous waste control laws is a crime.
Existing law requires a generator of hazardous waste to pay to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration a generation and handling fee for each generator site based on the amount of waste generated, as specified.
This bill would impose a maximum fee in a total amount of $100,000 upon a generator of hazardous waste that is residential infill housing, as provided, a nonprofit, or a stand-alone park or open-space project. The bill would impose a maximum fee in a total amount of $250,000 upon a generator of hazardous waste that is a master development project, without regard to the phase of the project. These provisions would only apply to generators that are not responsible for creating the hazardous waste.
