SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

Regulation 61-81, State Environmental Laboratory Certification, is authorized by S.C. Code Ann. Section 44-55-10 et seq., the State Safe Drinking Water Act; Section 48-1-10 et seq., the S.C. Pollution Control Act; and Section 44-56-10 et seq., the S.C. Hazardous Waste Management Act. This regulation requires the evaluation and certification of environmental laboratories performing environmental testing for regulatory compliance monitoring purposes in South Carolina.

Regulation 61-81 is funded by user fees authorized by statute at S.C. Code Ann. Section 48-2-10 et seq. and provided in Regulation 61-30, Environmental Protection Fees. This amendment of R.61-30 is needed to increase the fees necessary to continue the complete implementation of the Environmental Laboratory Certification Program pursuant to Regulation 61-81. The fee increases will be used according to regulation to process applications, perform certification renewals, perform certification maintenance, perform evaluations, and issue certifications to environmental laboratories.
