RPRA consulted on the proposed fees from September 29 to November 13, 2025, which included hosting five webinars to present the fees proposal, answer questions, and gather feedback. RPRA thanks all participants for their valuable input, which was carefully reviewed and considered before finalizing the fees. 

The MEA played a significant role in the consultation process, through the efforts of its Excess Soils Working Group, who participated in the webinar and provided formal comments to RPRA, resulting in the lowering of some of the fee rates.

View the consultation webpage for more information about the consultation process, the original proposal, recordings of the webinars, and the consultation report, which includes all feedback received and RPRA's responses to the feedback.  

When will registrants pay fees in 2026? 

RPRA’s 2026 program fee rates are effective as of January 1, 2026.
