INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITY FEE RETURN - ANNUAL

GENERAL
The annual Hazardous Waste Facility Fee is imposed according to Health and Safety Code section 25205.2, based upon the
allowable capacity and type of facility as specified in the permit, Interim Status Document (ISD), or Federal Part A Application. If
your facility qualifies for more than one category (full permit, standardized permit, or postclosure permit) during the fee period,
the amount due is the fee for the category with the highest rate.
If your permit, ISD, or Federal Part A does not state the facility capacity and/or type, report at the highest level at which the
facility operated during any one month of the current fee period and submit a certification or permit modification to the
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to establish capacity and/or type. If a facility's allowable capacity changes or is
initially established as the result of certification or permit modification, the fee that is due for the fee period in which the change
occurs is the higher fee. If a facility's type changes as the result of a permit or ISD modification, any change in the facility fee will
be effective the fee period following the one in which the modification becomes effective.
FACILITIES THAT CEASE TO OPERATE
Facilities engaged in treatment and storage owe the highest fee to which the facility has ever been subject for the reporting
period immediately following the period during which the facility ceased actively treating or storing waste. Disposal facilities
must pay two times the fee for the reporting period immediately following the period during which the facility ceased disposal
activity. If your facility ceased activity on or after January 1, 1994, you will be deemed to have ceased activity when you have
actually ceased the activity and notified DTSC of your intent to close.
FILING REQUIREMENT
Under section 43152.16 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, every facility operator who owes the facility fee is required to file on
forms provided by the Board of Equalization. Any special circumstances which affect your reporting should be explained on an
attachment to the form.
PAYMENTS
Check or money order should be made payable to the State Board of Equalization.
Credit card payments can be made with Discover/Novus, MasterCard, VISA, or American Express. Other credit cards
cannot be accepted. EFT accounts are not eligible for credit card payments. Credit card payments can be made by calling
800-272-9829 or through our website at www.boe.ca.gov. Click on the eServices tab and select credit card payments.
After authorizing your payment, check the box on your return indicating you have paid with a credit card. Be sure to sign
and mail your return.
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) must be initiated on or before the due date of the return and the funds must be transferred
into the Board of Equalization bank account on the first banking day following the day the payment is initiated to be
considered timely.
Please be advised that making your payment by EFT does not relieve you from the requirement to file your return by the due
date. If you are not registered to pay by EFT and would like to be, please contact us at 916-322-9534.
RETURN PREPARATION
