Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency (SRCAA) Regulation IAMENDATORY SECTION
SECTION 10.04 FEE WAIVER
((A. Except for air operating permit sources, the Control
Officer may waive payment of all, or a portion, of any fee or
service charge required by this Article upon a showing deemed
sufficient by the Control Officer that payment of the fee
would cause financial hardship upon the applicant.
B. The Control Officer may identify categories of sources, or groups of sources within a category, in Section 10.04.C. with similar emissions units and processes where the Control Officer determines that any of the following conditions exist:
1. Facility-wide emission rates are less than 1 ton per year of air contaminants; or
2. There are no specific regulations on the control of air contaminants; or
3. Compliance with control requirements is readily accomplished through nontechnical self-inspection techniques; or
4. The primary purpose for registration, pursuant to Article IV, is to inventory air contaminant emissions.
As categories are so identified, the Control Officer may waive one-half of the annual registration fee for owners or operators of individual facilities who provide emission inventory data, and other required information relative to compliance with applicable regulations, within 30 days of the request by the Authority, in a format acceptable to the Authority. In so doing, the owner or operator shall certify to the best of his/her knowledge, on forms provided by the Authority, that the emission inventory data is accurate and the facility is in compliance with applicable regulations. Owners or operators who fail to return the information within 30 days of the request will not qualify for a fee waiver under this Section. Notwithstanding the provision of required data by the owner or operator, the Authority reserves the right to conduct inspections of the facility.
C. The following categories of sources are eligible for the fee waiver specified in Section 10.04.B. However, individual sources are not eligible if one or more Notices of Violation have been issued by the Authority, pursuant to Section 2.04 of this Regulation, to the facility in the previous 36-month period:

calendar year, during which it operates. The owner or
operator shall pay the fee, pursuant to the requirements in
Section 10.02. Fees received pursuant to the registration
program or the operating permit program shall not exceed the
actual costs of program administration.
B. The annual fee for each source required by Article IV, Section 4.01 to be registered and that is not subject to Section 10.06.C. of this Regulation shall be determined by adding all of the applicable fees below:
1.
| Registration Fee Categories | Fee | Fee Applicability |

Per the Fee Schedule | Per Hour |
((b.)) B The additional fee ((listed)) applies to each ton
(rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a ton) of each criteria
pollutant, volatile organic compound, and toxic air pollutant
emitted.
((c.)) C The additional fee applies to each stack and
other emission points, including sources of fugitive emissions
(e.g., fugitive dust emissions from crushing operations;
storage piles; mixing and clean-up associated with surface
coating). For gasoline stations, each gasoline tank vent is
an emission point.
((d. The additional fee listed applies to each source
which operated at least one incinerator or burn out oven
during the registration period)).
((e.)) D The additional fee ((listed)) applies to each
Synthetic Minor ((source as defined in SRCAA Regulation I,
Article I, Section 1.04)).
((f.)) E The additional fee ((listed)) applies to each
source required by the ((Authority)) Agency to submit an
annual emissions inventory for entry into the Washington
Emission Data System (WEDS). SRCAA staff time spent
processing and reviewing WEDS will be tracked in 15 minute
increments and charged at the hourly rates provided ((above))
in the fee schedule.
2. The Board shall periodically review the fee schedule
for registered sources and determine if the total projected
fee revenue to be collected pursuant to this Section is
sufficient to fully recover program costs. Any proposed fee
revisions shall include opportunity for public review and
comment. Accordingly, the Agency shall account for program
costs, including employee costs and overhead. If the Board
determines that the total projected fee revenue is either
significantly excessive or deficient for this purpose, then
the Board ((shall)) may amend the fee schedule to more
accurately recover program costs.
C. The annual fee for each air operating permit source shall be determined as follows:
1. The Board shall periodically review the fees for air operating permit sources and determine if the total projected fee revenue to be collected pursuant to this Section is sufficient to fully recover program costs.

2) Non-Generic BACT Review
A non-generic BACT review is one where a generic BACT standard is not applicable and a top-down BACT review is not required. Applicants of any new air pollution source subject to a non-generic BACT review shall pay a non-generic BACT review fee according to the fee schedule.
3) Top-Down BACT Review (as described in EPA's Draft New Source Review Workshop Manual from October 1990 and as summarized below)
A top-down BACT review is one that requires available control technologies be ranked in descending order of control effectiveness. The most stringent or "top" control technology is first examined. That control technology is established as BACT unless the applicant demonstrates, and the Agency concurs, that technical considerations, energy, environmental, or economic impacts justify a conclusion that the most stringent technology is not achievable in for the project being proposed. If the most stringent control technology is eliminated in this fashion, the next most stringent control technology is considered, and so on. Applicants of any new air pollution source subject to a top-down BACT review shall pay a top-down BACT review fee according to the fee schedule.
B. Payment of Fees
1. At the Time of Application
The base fee shall be paid at the time of application. Review of the application will not commence until the applicable base fee is received.
2. After Application
a. Payment of Fees for Complete Applications
The Agency will invoice the owner, operator, or applicant for all other applicable fees without regard to whether the request(s) associated with this section are approved or denied.
b. Payment of Fees for Incomplete Applications
If an owner, operator, or applicant notifies SRCAA in writing that an incomplete application will not be completed or cancels the application (i.e., the application is neither approved or denied), applicable fees for review performed pursuant to A.2 and A.3 of this section shall be invoiced. If an application remains incomplete for more than 3 months, the owner, operator, or applicant shall be invoiced applicable fees for review performed pursuant to A.2 and A.3 of this section. If review of the application recommences, applicable review fees apply.
C. Incomplete Applications
Applications not accompanied by the base fee will be considered incomplete. In addition, if information requested by the Agency is not provided, the application will be considered incomplete and review of the application will be suspended. Review of the application will commence, or recommence when applicable, when all required fees and information requested by the Agency is received. An application will be cancelled if it remains incomplete for more than 18 months from initial receipt. For review of the cancelled application to resume, the applicant must pay all outstanding invoice fees, if applicable, and resubmit the applicable base fee.
D. Compliance Investigation Fee
Where a compliance investigation is conducted pursuant to Section 5.12 of this Regulation, the compliance investigation fee shall be assessed pursuant to the fee schedule. The fee shall be assessed for each emissions unit, or group of like-kind emissions units, being installed or modified. A group of emissions units shall be considered as like-kind if the same set of emission calculations can be used to characterize emissions from each of the emissions units.
E. Periodic Fee Review
The Board shall periodically review the fee schedule and
determine if the total actual fee revenue collected and
projected fee revenue to be collected pursuant to this Section
is sufficient to fully recover program costs. Any proposed
fee revisions shall include opportunity for public review and
comment. Accordingly, the Agency shall account for program
costs, including employee costs and overhead. If the Board
determines that the total project fee revenue is either
significantly excessive or deficient for this purpose, then
the Board ((shall)) may amend the fee schedule to more
accurately recover program costs. In general, fees will be
greater for permits that are typically more complex or take
more time to review and process.
