5 CCR 1002-74 - REGULATION NO. 74 - BEAR CREEK WATERSHED CONTROL REGULATION
Section 5 CCR 1002-74.12 - STATEMENT OF BASIS, SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY & PURPOSE (1996 Amendments)

The provisions of sections 25-8-202(1)(c) and (2); and 25-8-205; C.R.S., provide the specific statutory authority for amendments to the regulation. 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

A written comment only hearing was conducted to make minor revisions to this regulation. Two sections of the rule were modified (4.6.4 and 4.6.5) to include Park County in the Bear Creek Watershed program for nonpoint source best management practices and the watershed monitoring program. Appendix A of the regulation was modified to reflect the revised monitoring program which has been agreed to by members of the Bear Creek Watershed Association. A revised Appendix A was intended to be adopted in the February, 1996 Commission rulemaking hearing but due to problems with the public notice, these changes were not made at that time. The current monitoring program for the Bear Creek Watershed is reflected in the revised Appendix A which was adopted in this written comment only rulemaking.
