Nevada § 459.211 - Fees for operation or use of areas for storage and disposal owned by State; fee for revenue

§ 459.211. Fees for operation or use of areas for storage and disposal owned by State; fee for revenue

The State Board of Health shall establish by regulation: 1. License fees and any other fees for the operation of state-owned areas in an amount

sufficient to defray all costs of monitoring, securing or otherwise regulating the

storage or disposal of radioactive materials. The person who contracts with the State for the operation of such an area is responsible

for the payment of these fees. 2. Procedures for the collection of interest on delinquent fees and other accounts

for the operation of disposal areas. 3. Penalties of no more than $3,000 per day for each separate failure to comply with

an agreement, license, regulation or statute governing the operation of a disposal

area. 4. License fees and other fees for the use of such an area to store or dispose of

radioactive materials, which are chargeable against shippers or brokers in amounts

sufficient to defray the costs to the State of inspecting, monitoring, securing or

otherwise regulating their use of the area. In addition, the Board may establish by regulation a fee chargeable against shippers

and brokers for revenue for the State of Nevada. Before establishing a fee for revenue, the Board must consider the amounts of the

fees for licensing and disposal which are chargeable against the users of such areas

in other states, in order that a shipper or broker be neither encouraged nor discouraged

from disposing of such waste in this State, and that he or she base his or her decision

about where to dispose of the waste primarily on the cost of transportation to the

areas which are available for disposal. The regulations adopted pursuant to this subsection may include a method for the collection

of fees from the users of an area, and each of the fees may be a percentage of the

fee paid by a user to the operator of the area. The Board shall report to the Legislature at the end of January of odd-numbered years

the amounts of revenue paid to the State for the use of such areas in the preceding

biennium.
