305.1Owners or operators of Part 70 sources shall pay annual fees of twenty-five dollars ($ 25) per year (as adjusted pursuant to the criteria set forth in § 305.2) times the total tons of actual emissions of each regulated pollutant (for presumptive fee calculation purposes) emitted from Part 70 sources.

 

305.2The fee described in § 305.1 shall be increased 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 exceeds the Consumer Price Index for the calendar year 1989:

 

(a)The Consumer Price Index for any calendar year is the average of the Consumer Price Index for all-urban consumers published by the Department of Labor, as of the close of the twelve (12) month period ending on August 31st of each calendar year; and

 

(b)The revision of the Consumer Price Index which is most consistent with the Consumer Price Index for the calendar year 1989 shall be used. The Consumer Price Index for all-urban consumers for the month of August 1989 is one hundred twenty-four and six tenths (124.6).

 

305.3Owners or operators of Part 70 sources that fail to pay a fee assessed by the Mayor shall pay a penalty of fifty percent (50%) of the fee amount, plus interest pursuant to § 502(b)(c)(ii) of the Act.

 

305.4All fees, penalties, and interest collected pursuant to this chapter shall be deposited by the Mayor in a special D.C. Treasury fund, subject to appropriation, to carryout Part 70 program activities solely.
