The fee models proposed during the consultation were approved unchanged. However, some of the proposed fee rates were modified based on updated volume predictions.
What are program fees?
RPRA charges program fees to parties obligated under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016 (RRCEA) to recover its costs for building and operating registries, providing service to registrants, compliance and enforcement activities, and public reporting under the RRCEA.
Program fees charged to Excess Soil and HWP registrants fund the building, maintenance, and operations of the registries, and provision of ongoing support to registry users.
