(D) More than 25,000 tons, $2.50 per ton for all waste received.

(c) $15 per ton for waste that is hazardous waste when received and treated at the facility so that the waste is no longer a solid waste as defined in ORS 459.005.

(d) $2 per ton for waste that is:

(3) One-third of the amount collected under subsection (1) of this section shall be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of an account of the department.
