Groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees. 289.63(1)(1)
Imposition of groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees on generators. Except as provided under
sub. (6), a generator of solid or hazardous waste shall pay separate groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees for each ton or equivalent volume of solid or hazardous waste which is disposed of at a licensed solid or hazardous waste disposal facility. If a person arranges for collection or disposal services on behalf of one or more generators, that person shall pay the groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees to the licensed solid or hazardous waste disposal facility or to any intermediate hauler used to transfer wastes from collection points to a licensed facility. An intermediate hauler who receives groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees under this subsection shall pay the fees to the licensed solid or hazardous waste disposal facility. Tonnage or equivalent volume shall be calculated in the same manner as the calculation made for tonnage fees under
s. 289.62 (1).
289.63(2)
(2) Collection. The owner or operator of a licensed solid or hazardous waste disposal facility shall collect the groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees from the generator, a person who arranges for disposal on behalf of one or more generators or an intermediate hauler and shall pay to the department the amount of the fees required to be collected according to the amount of solid or hazardous waste received and disposed of at the facility during the preceding reporting period.
289.63(3)
(3) Amount of groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees. The fees imposed under this section are as follows:
289.63(3)(a)
(a) Except as provided in
sub. (4), the groundwater fee imposed under
sub. (1) is 10 cents per ton for solid waste or hazardous waste.
289.63(3)(b)
(b) The well compensation fee imposed under
sub. (1) for solid waste or hazardous waste, excluding prospecting or mining waste, is 4 cents per ton.
289.63(3)(c)
(c) In this paragraph, "solid waste disposal and incineration capacity" means the sum of the total capacity remaining at the beginning of a calendar year in all existing municipal waste landfills and the total solid waste incineration capacity of all existing incinerators during the expected life of the incinerators. The solid waste capacity fee imposed under
sub. (1) for solid waste disposed of after January 1, 1995, excluding hazardous waste and excluding solid waste generated in this state, shall be determined by the department at the beginning of each calendar year based on a comparison of the solid waste disposal and incineration capacity in this state and in the state in which the solid waste is generated. Except as provided in
par. (d), the solid waste capacity fee is as follows:
289.63(3)(c)1.
1. For solid waste generated in a state which has a per capita solid waste disposal and incineration capacity greater than or equal to the per capita capacity in this state, $0.
289.63(3)(c)2.
2. For solid waste generated in a state which has a per capita solid waste disposal and incineration capacity greater than or equal to 75% but less than the per capita capacity in this state, $2 per ton.
289.63(3)(c)3.
3. For solid waste generated in a state which has a per capita solid waste disposal and incineration capacity greater than or equal to 50% but less than 75% of the per capita capacity in this state, $4 per ton.
289.63(3)(c)4.
4. For solid waste generated in a state which has a per capita solid waste disposal and incineration capacity greater than or equal to 25% but less than 50% of the per capita capacity in this state, $6 per ton.
289.63(3)(c)5.
5. For solid waste generated in a state which has a per capita solid waste disposal and incineration capacity less than 25% of the per capita capacity in this state, $8 per ton.
289.63(3)(d)
(d) If the solid waste capacity fee for solid waste generated in any state remains at the same level or increases in 2 consecutive calendar years, the fee under
par. (c) is doubled. The fee shall remain doubled until solid waste generated in that state qualifies for a lower fee under
par. (c).
289.63(4)
(4) Amount of groundwater fee; prospecting or mining waste. The groundwater fee imposed under
sub. (1) is one cent per ton for prospecting or mining waste, including tailing solids, sludge or waste rock.
289.63(5)
(5) In addition to other fees. The groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees collected and paid under
sub. (2) are in addition to the tonnage fee imposed under
s. 289.62 (1), the environmental repair base fee imposed under
s. 289.67 (3) and the environmental repair surcharge imposed under
s. 289.67 (4).

Solid waste materials approved by the department for lining, daily cover or capping or for constructing berms, dikes or roads within a solid waste disposal facility are not subject to the groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees imposed under
sub. (1), except that foundry sands or shredder fluff approved for use under
s. 289.30 (5) or
289.31 (9) are subject to groundwater and well compensation fees.
289.63(7)
(7) Reporting period. The reporting period under this section is the same as the reporting period under
s. 289.62 (1). The owner or operator of any licensed solid or hazardous waste disposal facility shall pay groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees required to be collected under
sub. (2) at the same time as any tonnage fees under
s. 289.62 (1) are paid.
289.63(8)
(8) Use of groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees. The groundwater fees collected under
sub. (2) shall be credited to the environmental fund for groundwater management. The well compensation and solid waste capacity fees collected under
sub. (2) shall be credited to the environmental fund for environmental repair.
289.63(9)
(9) Failure to pay groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees. 289.63(9)(a)(a) If a person required under
sub. (1) to pay groundwater, solid waste capacity and well compensation fees to a licensed solid or hazardous waste disposal facility fails to pay the fees, the owner or operator of the licensed solid or hazardous waste disposal facility shall submit to the department with the payment required under
sub. (2) an affidavit stating facts sufficient to show the person's failure to comply with
sub. (1).
289.63(9)(b)

289.63(9)(c)2.
2. A generator, a person who arranges for collection or disposal services on behalf of one or more generators or an earlier intermediate hauler failed to pay the required fees to the person named in the affidavit under
par. (a).
289.63(9)(d)
(d) If the department does not receive an affidavit under
par. (b) or
