LATE PAYMENTS

All fees must be paid within the calendar month in which the invoice is received. Failure to submit timely payment will incur late fees, handling charges and potential enforcement action. These fees are as follows and will be charged to the next month’s invoice.

A non-compounding interest charge of 1.00% of the total past due amount after 30 days.
A penalty fee of 6.00% of the original past due amount after 90 days of being past due (120 days after the bill was issued).

Any invoices that are unpaid after 120 days will be sent to the U.S. Treasury for collections, and subject to an additional $15 handling charge. Manifests sent to the U.S. Treasury will need to be reconciled through the collections process and may not be paid through the RCRAInfo Industry Application.
