TO DISAPPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL, RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION FEES, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 4015, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    The regulations of the Department of Health and Environmental Control, relating to Environmental Protection Fees, designated as Regulation Document Number 4015, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are disapproved.

SECTION    2.    This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

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.
