Section 5 CCR 1002-51.1 - AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE OF THE WATER POLLUTION CONTROL REVOLVING FUND

The Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund ("WPCRF") was authorized by Congress in Title II and Title VI of the 1987 Amendments to the Clean Water Act ("Federal Act"). Additional provisions are provided in the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 ("WRRDA") and are amendments to Titles I, II, V, and VI of the Federal Act.

Senate Bill 50 (1988) authorized the State to participate in the WPCRF by amending the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority Act, Title 37 of Article 95, C.R.S. ("Authority Act"); this allows the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority ("Authority") to provide funds for the State's twenty percent match required by the Federal Act. §§ 37-95-103 and 37-95-107.6, C.R.S.

Sections 25-8-202 (1)(e) and (g), C.R.S., of the Colorado Water Quality Control Act ("State Act") also provide the Water Quality Control Commission ("Commission") and the Water Quality Control Division ("Division") with the authority to promulgate, implement, and administer this regulation.

The purpose of the WPCRF is to provide financial assistance to governmental agencies for the construction of any project as defined herein that appears on the Project Eligibility List included in the annual Intended Use Plan.
