STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS08540
The purpose of this legislation is to exempt Idaho dry cleaners
from the Hazardous Waste Generator and Treatment Storage Fee billed from
the Idaho Division of Environmental Quality.
The current legislation is contrary to EPA regulations which
allows the disposal of hazardous wastes to be averaged over a|
period of 12 months. For most small dry cleaners, the $750 fee is
one months net profit. Dry cleaners pay an average of $212 per
month for disposal of perc and filters. This fee adds to the
already high operating costs which are very expensive for small
businesses.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
