Wyoming Voluntary Remediation Program fee increase effective July 1, 2025

Public Notice:

Dear Interested Party:

In accordance with §35-11-1612, the DEQ/VRP is authorized to implement a fee system to cover all reasonable direct and indirect costs for staff participation in any VRP related activity at VRP sites. An evaluation of the current reasonable direct and indirect costs has determined the current fee of $55.00/hour is not adequate to cover indirect costs.

Therefore, beginning July 1, 2025, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP) will increase the hourly rate for staff working on your site to $55.00/hour plus 15.09% indirect rate ($8.30/hour). In addition, any new site entered into the VRP will have a fee of $633.00 ($550+$83 indirect rate) for any application received after July 1, 2025. This fee will pay for the first ten hours of staff time working on that site.

If you have any questions regarding this fee increase, please contact me at 307-777-5617. We appreciate your continued interest and participation in the VRP.

Sincerely,

Ben Luckey

HW/VR Program Manager
