The provisions of C.R S. 25-8-202(1)(a), (b) and (2); 25-8-203; 25-8-204; and 25-8-402; provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of these regulatory amendments. The Commission also adopted in compliance with 24-4-103(4) C.R.S. the following statement of basis and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE
The Commission's decision to delay consideration of nutrient criteria until March 2012 resulted in cancelation of the December 2011 review of temporary modifications and a three-month delay of the Regulation #34 basin-wide review. Accordingly, the Commission considered the expiration dates of temporary modifications expiring on or before December 31, 2012 in a written comment rulemaking. The Commission extended the expiration dates of the following temporary modifications to March 31, 2013. They would be reviewed during the September 2012 basin-wide rulemaking hearing.
