(1)  the body may not specify more than 2 deposit amounts for all containers;

(2)  the amount of a deposit may not be less than $0.10 nor more than $1.

The designated management body must, when modifying the amount of a deposit, take into account the anticipated impact of the modification on the recovery rate for the redeemable containers concerned. It may also take into account the volume of the product commercialized, marketed or otherwise distributed in the type of redeemable containers concerned by the modification.

A deposit amount that is different from the amounts in force can only be specified if

(1)  the recovery rate achieved for the type of redeemable container associated with the deposit amount the body intends to modify is more than 10% below the minimum recovery rate prescribed by section 99, for the 2 consecutive years preceding the year for which the modification is planned; and

(2)  the body submitted a plan and implemented it as provided for if, for one of the years preceding the year for which the modification is planned, the body was required to submit a remediation plan pursuant to section 113.

If the modification of a deposit amount increases the deposit amount for a type of redeemable container for which the prescribed recovery rate has been achieved, the increase may not exceed 50% of the amount in force.
