Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Sets the fee for NPDES construction site storm water permits at $500. Prohibits the imposition of a NPDES construction site storm water permit fee on any person for storm water discharges from a construction site that is smaller than 5 acres. Effective July 1, 2009.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Further amends the Environmental Protection Act. Limits the circumstances under which the Environmental Protection Agency must send a fee notice to existing NPDES permittees. Exempts NPDES construction-site storm water permittees who meet certain requirements from paying an annual NPDES construction-site storm water permit fee after payment of an initial annual fee of $500 before January 1, 2010 or $250 or $750, depending on the number of acres disturbed, for applications received on or after January 1, 2010 (now, NPDES construction-site storm water permittees must pay $500 initially and $500 each subsequent year, except if a permit is issued during the months of January through June, then the permittee may be exempt from paying an annual fee during "the 12 months beginning July 1 that immediately follow the period for which the initial annual fee was due"). Under existing law and this Act, the Agency may prorate the initial annual fee in the case of permits issued during the months of January through June. Effective immediately.
