MCER NO.2-18:   PROPOSED DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REGULATION
                          Systems Benefit Charges - Residential Waste Estimates
SUMMARY:  Montgomery County Code, 2014, Section 48-8A(b)(2)(A), provides that the County Executive must, each fiscal year, establish by Method 2 executive regulation an estimate of the amount of solid waste generated per dwelling unit.  This regulation updates the per-household waste generation estimates used to calculate residential Systems Benefit Charges.  The proposed regulation would supersede Executive Regulation 3-17.

MCER NO.4-18:   PROPOSED DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND
                          DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REGULATION
                          Water Quality Protection Charge
SUMMARY: The proposed regulation dovetails the changes to Bill 1-18, which requires that a property owner who wants to appeal the imposition of the Water Quality Protection Charge (WQPC) take that appeal to the Tax Court, rather than the Board of Appeals as currently provided.  This is consistent with Expedited Bill 45-15, which designates the Water Quality Protection charge as an excise tax imposed under the County’s general taxing authority.  This regulation would supersede Executive Regulation 12-16.
