1. (a) The fee to be collected for determining and monitoring the environmental impact of a power generation facility during any 12 month period included under the provisions of K.A.R. 28-19-81(a) shall be determined upon the basis of the type of fuel used to power the facility and the generating design capacity of the facility. The maximum fee for any facility powered by coal or nuclear energy shall be based on the following formula:

Impact Monitoring Fee= G.M.× C.M.y T.G.M.y + G.Q.R.× C.Q.R.y T.G.Q.R.y

When using the formula, the following values shall be used:

1. G.M. = the generating design capacity for that particular facility which is monitored with sampling equipment operated by the department of health and environment;

2. T.G.M._y = the sum of the generating design capacities for all facilities in the state powered by the same type of fuel that are monitored with identical sampling equipment operated by the department of health and environment during the same 12 month period;

3. C.M._y = the sum of all of the costs of the department of health and environment during the same 12 month period for operating identical sampling equipment at each power generation facility powered by the same type of fuel;

4. G.Q.R. = the generating design capacity for that particular facility where monitoring activities conducted by the owner or operator are subject to quality review and evaluation by the department of health and environment;

5. T.G.Q.R._y = the sum of the generating design capacities for all facilities in the state powered by the same type of fuel where monitoring activities conducted by the owner or operator are subject to identical quality review and evaluation by the department of health and environment during the same 12 month period; and

6. C.Q.R._y = the sum of the costs of the department of health and environment during the same 12 month period for providing identical quality review and evaluation of monitoring activities conducted by the owner or operator at each power generation facility powered by the same type of fuel.
