a) Annual fees will not be refunded or prorated. The annual fees for licensure are as follows:

1. 1) $1,500 for a drycleaning facility that uses:

   1. A) 50 gallons or less of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;
   2. B) 250 or less gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents in a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer; or
   3. C) 500 gallons or less annually of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents in a drycleaning machine without a solvent reclaimer. [415 ILCS 135/60(c)(1)]

2. 2) $2,250 for a drycleaning facility that uses:

   1. A) more than 50 gallons but not more than 100 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;
   2. B) more than 250 gallons but not more than 500 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based solvents in a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer; or
   3. C) more than 500 gallons but not more than 1,000 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents in a drycleaning machine without a solvent reclaimer. [415 ILCS 135/60(c)(2)]

3. 3) $3,000 for a drycleaning facility that uses:

   1. A) more than 100 gallons but not more than 150 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;
   2. B) more than 500 gallons but not more than 750 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based solvents in a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer; or
   3. C) more than 1,000 gallons but not more than 1,500 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents in a drycleaning machine without a solvent reclaimer. [415 ILCS 135/60(c)(3)]

4. 4) $3,750 for a drycleaning facility that uses:

   1. A) more than 150 gallons but not more than 200 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;
   2. B) more than 750 gallons but not more than 1,000 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based solvents in a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer; or
   3. C) more than 1,500 gallons but not more than 2,000 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents in a drycleaning machine without a solvent reclaimer. [415 ILCS 135/60(c)(4)]

5. 5) $4,500 for a drycleaning facility that uses:

   1. A) more than 200 gallons but not more than 250 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;
   2. B) more than 1,000 gallons but not more than 1,250 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based solvents in a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer; or
   3. C) more than 2,000 gallons but not more than 2,500 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents in a drycleaning machine without a solvent reclaimer. [415 ILCS 135/60(c)(5)]

6. 6) $5,000 for a drycleaning facility that uses:

   1. A) more than 250 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;
   2. B) more than 1,250 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based solvents in a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer; or
   3. C) more than 2,500 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents in a drycleaning machine without a solvent reclaimer. [415 ILCS 135/60(c)(6) through (17)]

b) For this Section, an owner or operator must determine the quantity of drycleaning solvents used per calendar year as follows:

1. 1) For initial license calendar years, the owner or operator must estimate the quantity of drycleaning solvents that will be used at the facility during the initial year. A fee assessed under this subsection (b)(1) is subject to audited adjustment if actual drycleaning solvent use for the initial license calendar year is greater than estimated.
2. 2) In the case of a renewal applicant, the owner or operator must determine the quantity of drycleaning solvents actually purchased in the preceding license year. [415 ILCS 135/60(c)]

3. 3) In the case of an owner or operator who uses both chlorine-based and hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents at the drycleaning facility, the quantity of drycleaning solvents used at the drycleaning facility annually must be determined as follows:

   1. A) using a multiplier of ten for chlorine-based drycleaning solvents to determine an equivalent value based upon one gallon of chlorine-based drycleaning solvents having an equivalent value of 10 gallons of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents for facilities not using a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer.
   2. B) using a multiplier of five for chlorine-based drycleaning solvents to determine an equivalent value based upon one gallon of chlorine-based drycleaning solvents having an equivalent value of 5 gallons of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents for facilities using a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer.
4. 4) In the case of an owner or operator who uses hydrocarbon-based solvents at a drycleaning facility that has both one or more drycleaning machines with a solvent reclaimer and one or more drycleaning machines without a solvent reclaimer, the total usage must be determined by applying the number of drycleaning machines with a solvent reclaimer to the total number of drycleaning machines at the facility to arrive at a percentage of drycleaning machines with a solvent reclaimer. This percentage must be applied to the total gallons of hydrocarbon-based solvent used and multiplied by a factor of two to convert the gallonage to the equivalent of a drycleaning machine without a solvent reclaimer.
