Hazardous Waste Fees
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is the lead agency in California for hazardous waste management. DTSC enforces the state’s Hazardous Waste Control laws, issues permits to hazardous waste facilities, and mitigates contaminated hazardous waste sites. DTSC’s two primary fund accounts are the Hazardous Substances Control Account (HWCA) and the Toxic Substances Control Account (TSCA). The information below summarizes fees that support DTSC’s mandates through these two accounts.
