Effective January 1, 1993, a tipping fee of $0.20 per ton of waste entering a solid waste management facility is hereby established to support local recycling programs. The administrative authority may waive the fee for any solid waste management facility that reaches the 25 percent waste reduction goal and meets the criteria established herein. In the event that it is determined by the administrative authority that a parish and its major municipalities have failed to achieve the 25 percent waste reduction goal by January 1, 1993, a tipping fee may be imposed by the secretary. This fee shall not exceed $0.20 per ton and shall apply to all solid waste generated within the parish that is not recycled or reused. The proceeds of the fee shall be used to administer the provisions of Act 185. The portion of the proceeds which is allocated to the department shall be applied to actual costs of any program developed pursuant to Act 185. The remainder of any fee shall be reimbursed to the payee for use in recycling programs.La. Admin. Code tit. 33, § VII-10311
