Water quality
Under the Clean Water Fund Program, this state provides loans for projects for controlling water pollution and, under the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program, this state provides loans for projects for the construction or modification of public water systems. The interest rate on loans under the programs is set at a percentage of the market interest rate. This bill provides that if the state issues variable rate revenue obligations for the programs, the market interest rate is the interest rate that would have been paid if the state had issued fixed-rate obligations, as determined by DOA.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

DOA:......Percy, BB0335 - Changes to air management fees
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Environment
Air Quality
Currently, the federal government has delegated to DNR the authority to administer the federal Clean Air Act in this state. The Clean Air Act requires certain stationary sources of air pollution, such as large factories, to obtain operation permits. State law requires additional stationary sources of air pollution to obtain operation permits. Under current law, DNR promulgates rules setting fees to be paid by the operator of any stationary source for which an operation permit is required. The fees are based on the amount of pollutants that a stationary source emits.
This bill sets fees to be paid by the operator of a stationary source of air pollution that is required to obtain an operation permit under state law, but not under the Clean Air Act. The fees for a stationary source covered by a simplified permit are $1,500 per year and the fees for a stationary source covered by a traditional permit are $3,000 per year. The bill set fees of $300 per year for stationary sources that are exempt from the requirement to obtain an operation permit but that emit more than three tons of a regulated pollutant in a year. The bill also sets fees of $300 to be paid by a person seeking a waiver of the requirement to obtain a permit for the construction or modification of a stationary source of air pollution. The bill does not change the provisions concerning fees for operation permits that are required under the Clean Air Act.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
