The department is hereby authorized to establish a schedule of
reasonable fees, such schedule taking into consideration the volume of
the discharge and treatment costs, for application for issuance of SPDES
permits to compensate the department for its expenses hereunder, giving
due recognition to the amount of federal assistance available; provided,
however, that the department shall not charge a publicly owned drinking

consider such plants to be municipal facilities for the purposes of the
imposition of fees pursuant to section 72-0602 of this chapter.
