| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| Establishing a new one-time fee of up to $350 for a general permit for industrial storm water discharges will result in an increase in dedicated revenue to the Maine Environmental Protection Fund of approximately $120,000 in fiscal year 2005-06 only. This estimate is based on an average fee of $300 per facility with an expected 400 facilities being licensed. The additional work associated with this former federal responsibility will be performed by existing staff within the Maine Environmental Protection Fund and therefore no new allocations are required at this time. Also, section 2 of this bill increases the "administrative cap" on expenditures from the Groundwater Oil Clean Up Fund from $2,900,000 to $3,700,000 and continues an annual adjustment factor of 4%. | |||||||||
