(A) For the purpose of defraying the costs to the environmental protection agency of implementing, administering, and enforcing sections 6111.043 to 6111.047 of the Revised Code pertaining to class I injection wells, a fee of one dollar per ton is hereby levied on the injection of industrial waste or other wastes into a class I injection well. The fee levied by this division does not apply to the injection into such a well of any hazardous waste identified or listed in rules adopted under section 3734.12 of the Revised Code.

The owner or operator shall remit the fee collected under this division to the director upon the anniversary of the date of issuance of his injection well operating permit or renewal of such a permit, as appropriate. If the class I injection facility consists of more than one injection well, the owner or operator shall remit the fee to the director on the anniversary of the date of issuance of the injection well operating permit or renewal of such a permit for which the anniversary of the date of issuance next succeeds the first day of January. If payment is late, the owner or operator shall pay to the director a penalty of ten per cent of the amount of the fee for each month that it is late.
