2. Multiply the solid waste facility hourly rate derived pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-4.5 by the task hours for each task calculated in (b)1 above to derive the solid waste facility fee for each task.

(c) Each year, the Department shall prepare an Annual Solid Waste Facility Fee Calculation Report detailing the factors used to calculate each fee.
