KRS 224.70-130: Imposition of charges on publicly owned treatment works.

(1) The cabinet may require that any applicant for a grant under Title II of The Federal

Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. secs. 1251 et seq.) shall adopt and maintain

a system of charges in keeping with Section 1284(b) and to establish a special

account as set forth in Section 1284(b)(3) of the Act.

(2) If an applicant for a Title II grant lacks statutory authority to conform with

subsection (1) of this section, this section provides such statutory authority.

(3) If the system of charges required, under S ection 1284(b) of the Act, creates a

significant incentive for industries discharging into publicly owned treatment works

applying for a Title II grant to relocate in other areas of the Commonwealth, or if

the system of charges required under Section 1284( b) discourages publicly owned

treatment works from seeking Title II grants, then the cabinet may require that all

publicly owned treatment works in the Commonwealth adopt and maintain a system

of charges comparable to those required by Section 1284(b) of the Act.
