State panel approves new air pollution fees
After years of study and negotiations, the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission this week approved new fees and air quality permit requirements designed to cover a budget shortfall in the air quality bureau.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources fees now will include a $100 fee for notifications of potential asbestos issues, a $385 fee for minor source construction permits, review fees of $115 an hour for some permits and Title V emissions fees of $70 per ton.
The new fees take effect Jan. 15. The rules will be published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on Jan. 6.
A new Web page going live next week will provide the fee schedule, forms and FAQs.
