§ 3698. Fees Calculation.
Currentness
Annual reporting fees cited in sections 3698 and 3699 shall be adjusted for the cost of living as measured by the California Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers, calendar year averages, using the percentage change in the previous year and annually thereafter.
(a) The annual reporting fee for a multiple site mining operation shall be four thousand dollars ($4,000).
(b) The annual reporting fee for mining operations which are no longer in operation with no intent to resume, which had no mineral production in the reporting calendar year, and
(1) which did not complete reclamation during the reporting calendar year shall be $100; or
(2) which completed reclamation during the reporting calendar year shall be $100. Proof of completion of reclamation, approved by the lead agency, shall be submitted with this fee.
(c) Except as otherwise provided, the annual reporting fee for mining operations shall be calculated on the total primary mineral commodity produced in the reporting calendar year. A factor to determine the amount of fee adjustments from one reporting calendar year to the next shall be calculated according to the following formula:
[((ATRY) - (ATPY))/(ATPY)] = Factor
Where: Adjusted Total (AT) equals the Amount Requested by the Director, less a projected amount from fees set in CCR § 3698(a)(b)(d)(e) and CCR § 3699, and less a projected amount from mine operations subject to the maximum fee amount in Public Resources Code Section 2207;
Where: ATRY is the Adjusted Total for the current “Reporting Year”
Where: ATPY is the Adjusted Total for the “Prior Year”
The new Fee Amount for each category is determined by the following formula (calculated amounts cannot be less than $100 or more than the maximum fee in Public Resources Code Section 2207, and may be rounded to the nearest $1 (one dollar)):
Formula: Current Year Reporting Fee = Prior Year Reporting
