Creates a fee exception for construction site storm water discharges for which a new NPDES permit is issued during the months of January through June. States that no annual fee shall be due for the 12 months beginning July 1 that immediately follow the period for which the initial annual fee was due. Allows the Agency, by rule, to provide for the refund of permit fees. Requires a Section 401 state water quality authorization applicant to submit the fee prior to certification (now, the fee must be submitted with the application). Effective immediately.Fiscal Note (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency) SB 1663 would not have any fiscal impact on the Illinois EPA.
