PSATS Objects to IRRC on Final DEP Rate Increases

PSATS submitted comments to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) on a final-form regulation regarding Water Quality Management and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit application and annual fees. The comments expressed concern that the fees were too high and would create an additional annual burden of $1.7 million on municipal governments. Instead, PSATS is asking the legislature to provide the necessary funding instead of allowing DEP to increase the costs for municipal governments. Click here to read the letter.
