285.69(2)(a)1. 1. That fees collected in a year before 2002 are based on actual emissions of all regulated pollutants and any other air contaminant specified by the department in the rules in the preceding year.
285.69(2)(a)2. 2. Except as provided under par. (d), that the fees collected in 1993 are $18 per ton of each regulated pollutant.
285.69(2)(a)3. 3. Except as provided under par. (d), that the fees collected in 1994 are $25 per ton increased by the percentage by which the consumer price index, as defined in 42 USC 7661a (b) (3) (B) (v), for 1993 exceeds the consumer price index for 1989.
285.69(2)(a)4. 4. That the fees collected in each year after 1994 and before 2002 are calculated by increasing the fees collected in the preceding year by the percentage by which the consumer price index, as defined in 42 USC 7661a (b) (3) (B) (v), increased in the preceding year.
285.69(2)(a)5. 5. That fees are not based on emissions by an air contaminant source in excess of 5,000 tons per year of each regulated pollutant, except that, subject to par. (b), this limitation does not apply to a major utility, as defined in s. 285.41 (1) (f), that owns or operates a phase I affected unit as listed in Table A of 42 USC 7651c.
285.69(2)(a)6. 6. That during 1995 to 1999, no fee is required to be paid under this subsection for emissions from any affected unit listed in Table A of 42 USC 7651c.

285.69(2)(a)9. 9. That fees billed in years after 2001 are determined using a performance-based approach that increases a stationary source's fees in proportion to increases in the amount of pollutants emitted by the stationary source, as determined under subd. 8., and decreases a stationary source's fees in proportion to decreases in the amount of pollutants emitted by the stationary source, as determined under subd. 8.
285.69(2)(a)10. 10. That no multiplier or similar mechanism is used that would increase a stationary source's fees to compensate for decreases in overall amounts of emissions.
285.69(2)(a)11. 11. That no provision is used that would increase the fee per unit of pollutant emitted in order to compensate for decreases in overall amounts of emissions.
285.69(2)(b) (b) The department may not charge a major utility fees on emissions in excess of 5,000 tons per year of each regulated pollutant beyond the amount necessary to recover the fees that would have been charged for any phase I affected unit listed in Table A of 42 USC 7651c owned by that major utility if the prohibition in par. (a) 6. did not exist.
285.69(2)(c) (c) The fees collected under pars. (a) and (e) shall be credited to the appropriations under s. 20.370 (2) (bg), (3) (bg), (8) (mg) and (9) (mh) for the following:

285.69(5)(c) (c) Except as provided in par. (d), if the amount of the growth accommodation credit obtained by the person in a calendar year is 40 tons or more, the amount of the fee shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the growth accommodation credit certified to the person, expressed in tons per year, by $200 per ton.
285.69(5)(d) (d) A stationary source which is operating without an air pollution control permit required under s. 285.60 but which can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department the ability to comply with this chapter and s. 299.15 after obtaining a growth accommodation credit under s. 285.63 (7) shall be required to pay an amount from $200 to $1,000 times the amount of the growth accommodation credit certified to the person, expressed in tons per year.
285.69(6) (6)Use of certain fees. The department shall use moneys collected under subs. (1) and (5) for the purposes in subs. (1) and (5). If moneys collected under subs. (1) and (5) exceed the amounts necessary for the purposes specified in subs. (1) and (5), the department may use the excess for other activities to control air pollution in this state.
