Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 1501.220 - Annual License Fee

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

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

A)50 gallons or less of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;

B)250 or less gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based drycleaning solvents in a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer; or

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

A)more than 50 gallons but not more than 100 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;

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

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

A)more than 100 gallons but not more than 150 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;

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

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

A)more than 150 gallons but not more than 200 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;

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

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

A)more than 200 gallons but not more than 250 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;

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

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

A) more than 250 gallons of chlorine-based or green drycleaning solvents annually;

B) more than 1,250 gallons annually of hydrocarbon-based solvents in a drycleaning machine equipped with a solvent reclaimer; or

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) 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)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) 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:

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.

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) 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.
