§ 118245 Alternative Treatment Technology Fees

Key Takeaways

  • •You have to pay $2,500 just to apply for approval of a new water treatment method.
  • •On top of that, you pay $100 for every hour the government spends reviewing your application.
  • •The most you’ll ever pay is $5,000 total, no matter how long it takes them to review it.

Example

A company invents a new way to clean dirty water and wants the state to say it’s okay to use.

The company must first pay $2,500 to even apply. Then, if the state workers spend 20 hours looking at the application, the company pays another $2,000 (20 hours × $100), so the total cost is $4,500.
