- The final budget approved on July 31, 2007 includes an increase to most fees associated with Division of Water Quality permit activities.

Beginning September 1, 2007, all permit fees collected must meet the legal requirements of these fee changes.
- The Divisions of Water Quality and Waste Management have combined resources to manage contaminated soil and groundwater. This decision has resulted in some changes in program responsibilities, which are detailed in this memorandum.
