42 Step 4—Calculating fee for assessable pollutants

(1) To calculate the fee for each assessable pollutant discharged during the licence fee period—

(a) if the assessable load is greater than the fee rate threshold—use the formula set out in subsection (2) (Formula 1), or

(b) otherwise—use the formula set out in subsection (3) (Formula 2).

(2) Formula 1

(3) Formula 2

(4) In formulae 1 and 2—

AL is the assessable load of the assessable pollutant discharged, expressed in kilograms.

CZ is the pollutant critical zone weighting set out in section 43.

FRT is the fee rate threshold for the assessable pollutant, expressed in kilograms.

PFU is the pollutant fee unit amount for the licence fee period set out in section 45.

PW is the pollutant weighting for the assessable pollutant set out in section 44.
