     "NEW SECTION. Sec. 706.  A new section is added to chapter 43.200 RCW to read as follows:

     The director of ecology shall require that generators of waste pay a fee for each cubic foot of waste disposed at any facility in the state equal to thirty dollars.  The fee shall be imposed specifically on the generator of the waste and shall not be considered to apply in any way to the low-level site operator's disposal activities.  The fee on each cubic foot of waste shall be allocated in the following manner:  Twenty five dollars placed in the health services account and five dollars placed in the water quality account."

Renumber the sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly

EFFECT: Establishes a $30 per cubic foot fee on low-level radioactive waste estimated to raise $6 million per biennium to compensate for the loss of revenues in the health services account and the water quality account.
