| Description | Between 1955 and 1988, all citizens bore the cost of this permit program through general fund appropriations by the Legislature and federal grants. Since 1988, however, when Initiative 97 (I-97) was passed by the voters, holders of wastewater discharge permits have been obliged to pay for the privilege of discharging to the state's surface and ground waters. I-97 contains what is called the "polluter pays principle." Simply put, this means that the financial responsibility for paying for the water pollution permit program belongs with those contributing to the pollution. |
