5 CCR 1002-51 - REGULATION NO. 51 - WATER POLLUTION CONTROL REVOLVING FUND RULES
Section 5 CCR 1002-51.29 - Statement of Basis, Specific Statutory Authority and Purpose; April, 1998 Rulemaking

The provisions of Sections 25-8-202(1)(e), and (g); 25-8-308(1)(d); and 37-95-107.6(4) C.R.S. provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of the attached regulatory amendments. The Commission also adopted, in compliance with Sections 24-4-103(4) C.R.S., the following statement of basis and purpose.

Basis and Purpose

The Commission has determined the Interim Rules For FY98 Intended Use Plan (51.11) shall be extended to the FY99 Intended Use Plan (IUP). The Critical Review Team and the Water Quality Control Division has not yet been able to assess the benefit of the new system for identifying water quality projects; it would therefore be premature to adopt permanent revisions to the prioritization system at this time. The watershed efforts now being implemented by the Division as part of the process for identifying projects should be better utilized in the FY99 IUP.

It is anticipated that the Interim WPCRF Rules will be reviewed and the system for identifying eligible projects be assessed by the Critical Review Team prior to August, 1998. The Commission may then decide to schedule a Rulemaking Hearing in January, 1999 to determine whether the Rules should be modified, repealed or made permanent.
