identify delays caused by the responsiveness of the proposer, lack of staff, scientific or
technical disagreements, or the level of public engagement. The report must specify the
number of days from initial submission of the application to the day of determination that
the application is complete. The report for August 1 each year must aggregate the data for
the year and assess whether program or system changes are necessary to achieve the goal.
The report must be posted on the department's Web site and submitted to the governor
and the chairs and ranking minority members of the house of representatives and senate
committees having jurisdiction over natural resources policy and finance.

(c) The commissioner shall allow electronic submission of environmental review
and permit documents to the department.

(d) Beginning July 1, 2011, within 30 business days of application for a permit
subject to paragraph (a), the commissioner of natural resources shall notify the

new text begin Expediting costs; reimbursement. new text end

new text begin Permit applicants who wish
to construct, reconstruct, modify, or operate a facility needing any permit from the
commissioner of natural resources may offer to reimburse the department for the costs
of staff time or consultant services needed to expedite the permit development process,
including the analysis of environmental review documents. The reimbursement shall be in
addition to permit application fees imposed by law. When the commissioner determines
that additional resources are needed to develop the permit application in an expedited
manner, and that expediting the development is consistent with permitting program
priorities, the commissioner may accept the reimbursement. Reimbursements accepted
by the commissioner are appropriated to the commissioner for the purpose of developing
the permit or analyzing environmental review documents. Reimbursement by a permit
applicant shall precede and not be contingent upon issuance of a permit; shall not affect

following powers and duties:

(a) to administer and enforce all laws relating to the pollution of any of the waters of
the state;

(b) to investigate the extent, character, and effect of the pollution of the waters of
this state and to gather data and information necessary or desirable in the administration
or enforcement of pollution laws, and to make such classification of the waters of the
state as it may deem advisable;

(c) to establish and alter such reasonable pollution standards for any waters of
the state in relation to the public use to which they are or may be put as it shall deem
necessary for the purposes of this chapter and, with respect to the pollution of waters
of the state, chapter 116;

(d) to encourage waste treatment, including advanced waste treatment, instead of
stream low-flow augmentation for dilution purposes to control and prevent pollution;

(e) to adopt, issue, reissue, modify, deny, or revoke, enter into or enforce reasonable
orders, permits, variances, standards, rules, schedules of compliance, and stipulation
agreements, under such conditions as it may prescribe, in order to prevent, control or abate
water pollution, or for the installation or operation of disposal systems or parts thereof, or
for other equipment and facilities:

(1) requiring the discontinuance of the discharge of sewage, industrial waste or
other wastes into any waters of the state resulting in pollution in excess of the applicable
pollution standard established under this chapter;

(2) prohibiting or directing the abatement of any discharge of sewage, industrial
waste, or other wastes, into any waters of the state or the deposit thereof or the discharge
into any municipal disposal system where the same is likely to get into any waters of the
state in violation of this chapter and, with respect to the pollution of waters of the state,
chapter 116, or standards or rules promulgated or permits issued pursuant thereto, and
specifying the schedule of compliance within which such prohibition or abatement must
be accomplished;

(3) prohibiting the storage of any liquid or solid substance or other pollutant in a
manner which does not reasonably assure proper retention against entry into any waters of
the state that would be likely to pollute any waters of the state;

(4) requiring the construction, installation, maintenance, and operation by any
person of any disposal system or any part thereof, or other equipment and facilities, or
the reconstruction, alteration, or enlargement of its existing disposal system or any part
thereof, or the adoption of other remedial measures to prevent, control or abate any
discharge or deposit of sewage, industrial waste or other wastes by any person;

(5) establishing, and from time to time revising, standards of performance for new
sources taking into consideration, among other things, classes, types, sizes, and categories
of sources, processes, pollution control technology, cost of achieving such effluent
reduction, and any nonwater quality environmental impact and energy requirements.
Said standards of performance for new sources shall encompass those standards for the
control of the discharge of pollutants which reflect the greatest degree of effluent reduction
which the agency determines to be achievable through application of the best available
demonstrated control technology, processes, operating methods, or other alternatives,
including, where practicable, a standard permitting no discharge of pollutants. New
sources shall encompass buildings, structures, facilities, or installations from which there
is or may be the discharge of pollutants, the construction of which is commenced after the
publication by the agency of proposed rules prescribing a standard of performance which
will be applicable to such source. Notwithstanding any other provision of the law of this
state, any point source the construction of which is commenced after May 20, 1973, and
which is so constructed as to meet all applicable standards of performance for new sources
shall, consistent with and subject to the provisions of section 306(d) of the Amendments
of 1972 to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, not be subject to any more stringent
standard of performance for new sources during a ten-year period beginning on the date
of completion of such construction or during the period of depreciation or amortization
of such facility for the purposes of section 167 or 169, or both, of the Federal Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, whichever period ends first. Construction shall encompass any
placement, assembly, or installation of facilities or equipment, including contractual
obligations to purchase such facilities or equipment, at the premises where such equipment
will be used, including preparation work at such premises;

passes through, or otherwise is incompatible with such disposal system;

(7) requiring the owner or operator of any disposal system or any point source to
establish and maintain such records, make such reports, install, use, and maintain such
monitoring equipment or methods, including where appropriate biological monitoring
methods, sample such effluents in accordance with such methods, at such locations, at
such intervals, and in such a manner as the agency shall prescribe, and providing such
other information as the agency may reasonably require;

(8) notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, and with respect to the
pollution of waters of the state, chapter 116, requiring the achievement of more stringent
limitations than otherwise imposed by effluent limitations in order to meet any applicable
water quality standard by establishing new effluent limitations, based upon section 115.01,
subdivision 13, clause (b), including alternative effluent control strategies for any point
source or group of point sources to insure the integrity of water quality classifications,
whenever the agency determines that discharges of pollutants from such point source or
sources, with the application of effluent limitations required to comply with any standard
of best available technology, would interfere with the attainment or maintenance of
the water quality classification in a specific portion of the waters of the state. Prior to
establishment of any such effluent limitation, the agency shall hold a public hearing to
determine the relationship of the economic and social costs of achieving such limitation
or limitations, including any economic or social dislocation in the affected community
or communities, to the social and economic benefits to be obtained and to determine
whether or not such effluent limitation can be implemented with available technology or
other alternative control strategies. If a person affected by such limitation demonstrates at
such hearing that, whether or not such technology or other alternative control strategies
are available, there is no reasonable relationship between the economic and social costs
and the benefits to be obtained, such limitation shall not become effective and shall be
adjusted as it applies to such person;

available technology with respect to any point source for which a permit application is
filed after July 1, 1977, upon a showing by the owner or operator of such point source
satisfactory to the agency that such modified requirements will represent the maximum
use of technology within the economic capability of the owner or operator and will result
in reasonable further progress toward the elimination of the discharge of pollutants; and

(10) requiring that applicants for wastewater discharge permits evaluate in their
applications the potential reuses of the discharged wastewater;

(f) to require to be submitted and to approve plans and specifications for disposal
systems or point sources, or any part thereof and to inspect the construction thereof for
compliance with the approved plans and specifications thereof;

(g) to prescribe and alter rules, not inconsistent with law, for the conduct of the
agency and other matters within the scope of the powers granted to and imposed upon it by
this chapter and, with respect to pollution of waters of the state, in chapter 116, provided

than a member or employee of the agency shall be filed with the secretary of state;

(h) to conduct such investigations, issue such notices, public and otherwise, and hold
such hearings as are necessary or which it may deem advisable for the discharge of its
duties under this chapter and, with respect to the pollution of waters of the state, under
chapter 116, including, but not limited to, the issuance of permits, and to authorize any
member, employee, or agent appointed by it to conduct such investigations or, issue such
notices and hold such hearings;

(i) for the purpose of water pollution control planning by the state and pursuant to
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, to establish and revise planning
areas, adopt plans and programs and continuing planning processes, including, but not
limited to, basin plans and areawide waste treatment management plans, and to provide

upon applications for agency permits and implementing and enforcing the conditions of
the permits pursuant to agency rules. Permit fees shall not include the costs of litigation.
The fee schedule must reflect reasonable and routine direct and indirect costs associated
with permitting, implementation, and enforcement. The agency may impose an additional
enforcement fee to be collected for a period of up to two years to cover the reasonable costs
of implementing and enforcing the conditions of a permit under the rules of the agency.
Any money collected under this paragraph shall be deposited in the environmental fund.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), the agency shall collect an annual fee from
the owner or operator of all stationary sources, emission facilities, emissions units, air
contaminant treatment facilities, treatment facilities, potential air contaminant storage
facilities, or storage facilities subject to the requirement to obtain a permit under
subchapter V of the federal Clean Air Act, United States Code, title 42, section 7401 et
seq., or section 116.081. The annual fee shall be used to pay for all direct and indirect
reasonable costs, including attorney general costs, required to develop and administer
the permit program requirements of subchapter V of the federal Clean Air Act, United
States Code, title 42, section 7401 et seq., and sections of this chapter and the rules
adopted under this chapter related to air contamination and noise. Those costs include the
reasonable costs of reviewing and acting upon an application for a permit; implementing
and enforcing statutes, rules, and the terms and conditions of a permit; emissions, ambient,
and deposition monitoring; preparing generally applicable regulations; responding to
federal guidance; modeling, analyses, and demonstrations; preparing inventories and
tracking emissions; and providing information to the public about these activities.

(c) The agency shall set fees that:

(1) will result in the collection, in the aggregate, from the sources listed in paragraph
(b), of an amount not less than $25 per ton of each volatile organic compound; pollutant
regulated under United States Code, title 42, section 7411 or 7412 (section 111 or 112
of the federal Clean Air Act); and each pollutant, except carbon monoxide, for which a
national primary ambient air quality standard has been promulgated;

(2) may result in the collection, in the aggregate, from the sources listed in paragraph
(b), of an amount not less than $25 per ton of each pollutant not listed in clause (1) that is
regulated under this chapter or air quality rules adopted under this chapter; and

(3) shall collect, in the aggregate, from the sources listed in paragraph (b), the
amount needed to match grant funds received by the state under United States Code, title

The agency must not include in the calculation of the aggregate amount to be collected
under clauses (1) and (2) any amount in excess of 4,000 tons per year of each air pollutant
from a source. The increase in air permit fees to match federal grant funds shall be a
surcharge on existing fees. The commissioner may not collect the surcharge after the grant
funds become unavailable. In addition, the commissioner shall use nonfee funds to the
extent practical to match the grant funds so that the fee surcharge is minimized.

(d) To cover the reasonable costs described in paragraph (b), the agency shall provide
in the rules promulgated under paragraph (c) for an increase in the fee collected in each year
by the percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index for the most recent calendar
year ending before the beginning of the year the fee is collected exceeds the Consumer Price
Index for the calendar year 1989. For purposes of this paragraph the Consumer Price Index
for any calendar year is the average of the Consumer Price Index for all-urban consumers
published by the United States Department of Labor, as of the close of the 12-month period
ending on August 31 of each calendar year. The revision of the Consumer Price Index that
is most consistent with the Consumer Price Index for calendar year 1989 shall be used.

(e) Any money collected under paragraphs (b) to (d) must be deposited in the
environmental fund and must be used solely for the activities listed in paragraph (b).
