5 CCR 1002-52 - REGULATION NO. 52 - DRINKING WATER REVOLVING FUND
Section 5 CCR 1002-52.1 - AUTHORITY

In Senate Bill 95-083, the Colorado General Assembly created the Drinking Water Revolving Fund to provide financial assistance to certain drinking water projects in the State of Colorado. The fund is held and administered by the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority (Authority), which is authorized to issue bonds to finance the program. Moneys in the fund may be used to provide financial assistance to projects included on a Project Eligibility List, which is part of the annual Intended Use Plan (IUP). Codified at sections 37-95-103 and 37-95-107.8, C.R.S., the statutes direct the Water Quality Control Commission (Commission) to submit additions and modifications to the Project Eligibility List annually for adoption by the General Assembly by Joint Resolution signed by the Governor. This regulation complies with 40 CFR part 35 , subpart l, and provides for the Commission's approval of the Intended Use Plan including additions and modifications to the Project Eligibility List and the Projected Loan List.

The 1996 amendments to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) include authorization of a state revolving fund program similar to that included in the Clean Water Act for wastewater projects. The Drinking Water Revolving Fund established by Senate Bill 95-083 meets the requirements of the SDWA concerning revolving fund financing programs and allows for federal funding of Colorado's revolving fund financing program.

Section 25 1.5-203, C.R.S., also provides authority for this regulation.
