Hazardous Waste Fee Changes

Senate Bill 225 was passed during the 2005 legislative session and made a number of significant changes in the Hazardous Waste law dealing with the regulation of generators. Those changes include:

• Out-of-state generators who bring waste into Missouri are no longer required to register, report or pay fees directly to the Hazardous Waste Program;
• Two fees previously assessed on hazardous waste, the Category Fee and Generator Fee, were eliminated and replaced by a single fee;
• Establishes a fee to be paid by Missouri treatment, storage and disposal facilities on all hazardous waste they receive from generators located outside of Missouri;
• Establishes a sunset date of December 31, 2011 for the hazardous waste fees under the new structure;
• Establishes a fee of fifty cents for each lead-acid battery sold at retail to be paid by consumers and collected by retailers. Specifies a sunset date of June 30, 2011 for this fee; and
• Establishes that the Department of Natural Resources will request general revenue funding from the legislature for any state match obligation owed to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency for cleanup work at Superfund sites in Missouri.

Among the specific requirements in the rule-making process are:

• The posting of public notices describing the rules being proposed;
• A period of time for public comments on the proposed rules to be gathered; and
• A public hearing before the Hazardous Waste Commission.

While these required steps result in the rule-making process taking several months, they are essential to provide the opportunity for public involvement and comment. Public involvement and comment insure that the most effective and fair rules will be put in place.

Questions on these changes or the rule-making effort associated with those changes may be directed to the department's Hazardous Waste Program at 573-751-3176.

50-cent Lead-Acid Battery Fee

Beginning Oct. 1, 2005, Missouri State Law requires a 50-cent battery fee be added to the purchase price of every lead-acid battery 6-volts or greater. Batteries purchased for agricultural use are exempt from the fee. This fee will help support Missouri's hazardous waste cleanup efforts. For more information regarding the 50-cent battery fee, call the department's Hazardous Waste Program at 800-361-4827 or 573-751-3176.
