Section 5 CCR 1002-32.26 - STATEMENT OF BASIS, SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE: SEPTEMBER, 1997 RULEMAKING
The provisions of sections 25-8-202(1)(a) and (b); 25-8-203; 25-8-204; and 25-8-402, C.R.S., provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of the attached regulatory amendments. The Commission also adopted, in compliance with section 24-4-103(4) C.R.S., the following statement of basis and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE
This hearing was originally scheduled by CC&V for the principal purpose of eliminating the temporary modifications currently applicable in Cripple Creek and Arequa Gulch, and the adoption of revised surface and ground water standards in this area. Prior to the hearing, CC&V and the Water Quality Control Division stipulated to postpone the hearing to early 1998, because some of the issues involved in the hearing before the Water Quality Control Commission were similar to those to be heard in an adjudicatory hearing on the CC&V discharge permit. In order to conserve hearing resources, the Commission has agreed to schedule a new hearing in September, 1998 to consider the CC&V proposal. In order to preserve the status quo until a new hearing has been completed, the existing temporary modifications in Arequa Gulch and Cripple Creek are extended to December 31, 1998.
