Section 2 - Purpose of Rules
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024
The purpose of these rules is to set forth the procedures to be followed by:
1) applicants for Recreational In-Channel Diversions (hereinafter referred to as "RICDs"); and
2) the Colorado Water Conservation Board (hereinafter referred to as "board") when making Findings of Fact and recommendations to a water court regarding RICDs . In addition, the purpose of these rules is to provide guidance about the type of information that will assist the board in making its findings and recommendation to the water court. The board has incorporated into these rules, the statement of basis and purpose prepared and adopted at the time of the rulemaking. These rules will supercede the RICD Rules adopted on November 8, 2001, codified at 2 CCR 408-3, and they are intended to apply to applications that will be reviewed by the board after the effective date of these rules. However, they will not apply to applications that have already been reviewed by the CWCB, even if the CWCB may conduct further reviews (i.e. the applications of the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District and Chaffee County).
