Hazardous Waste Generator Fee Surplus Funds Unavailable

As required by Health and Safety Code Section 25205.9, the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) must determine, on or before June 30th of each year, whether or not there are surplus funds available to issue specified Generator Fee refunds.

The DTSC has determined that it does not have surplus funds within the meaning of Health and Safety Code Section 25174(k). Therefore, funds are not available to pay the refunds specified in Sections 25205.5 and 25205.9 of the Health and Safety Code.

For future years, if the DTSC determines that there are surplus funds available for refund, hazardous waste generators will be notified to submit a claim for refund by September 30th, which is the final filing date. If surplus funds are not available to issue refunds then hazardous waste generators will be notified via the State Board of Equalization's web site prior to September 30th each year.
