On September 24, 2013, the State Water Board adopted Resolution No. 2013-0030, which adjusted waste discharge permit fees to conform to the revenue levels set forth in the Budget Act for Fiscal Year 2013-2014. This Resolution increased Industrial General Permit (IGP) storm water fees to $1,791.00/year.
State Water Board funding does not come from the General Fund and needed supplementing. In order to cover the 2013-2014 operation costs of the State Water Board, the fee was increased.
Marvin H. Sachse, Brash Industries, is working in conjunction with trade associations to implement a sliding scale where yearly fees are based upon facility size.
If you have any questions regarding the increase, you may contact the Water Board at: fee_branch@waterbords.ca.gov or contact Brash Industries at 310-305-8637.
