Create a fund and change provisions relating to water well fees, use of funds, and powers and duties of the Department of Water, Energy, and Environment

Summary

The bill establishes an Integrated Solid Waste Management Cash Fund and redirects various department fees into specific state funds, including a new Water Well Decommissioning Fund. It sets a uniform $240 registration fee for most water wells, with special rules for industrial, geothermal, monitoring, and irrigation wells, and caps fees for animal‑feeding operation permits at $200. By reallocating these revenues, the legislation aims to better cover permit‑processing costs and fund future well‑decommissioning and water‑quality programs.
