Code of Colorado Regulations

1002 - Water Quality Control Commission (1002 Series)
5 CCR 1002-33 - REGULATION NO. 33 - CLASSIFICATIONS AND NUMERIC STANDARDS FOR UPPER COLORADO RIVER BASIN AND NORTH PLATTE RIVER (PLANNING REGION 12)
Section 5 CCR 1002-33.20 - FINDINGS REGARDING BASIS FOR EMERGENCY RULE SEPTEMBER 9, 1991
The Commission held this emergency rulemaking hearing to readopt the numerical standards for one segment of the Upper Colorado River Basin to correct clerical errors in the original filing. The affected regulation was amended on May 8, 1991, and was filed within the required timeframes with the Secretary of State's Office and the Office of Legislative Legal Services. The Commission learned recently that there were errors in the published version of the numerical standards for segment 5 of the Eagle River, page 8 of the tables.
The Commission finds that the immediate adoption of the revised regulation is imperatively necessary for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare and that compliance with normal notice requirements would be contrary to the public interest. Emergency adoption is necessary to assure that the published regulation is consistent with the regulation that the Commission adopted, to avoid confusion for the public and to assure than an anticipated request for permit revisions for a discharge by Paramount Communications Inc. to this segment is processed in a manner consistent with the Water Quality Control Commission's water quality standards decisions.
