5 Colo. Code Regs. § 1002-34.39
The Commission adopted the corrections to the zinc table value equations as an emergency action, making the revisions effective immediately. If the Commission does not adopt revisions as an emergency, the effective date would be delayed and discharge permits with zinc limits may be issued incorrectly, which would result in an unnecessary adverse impact on the public. The Commission finds that these amount to exigent circumstances which warrant emergency adoption of these interim revisions to the relevant water quality standards.The Commission further finds that these emergency revisions are imperatively necessary to preserve public health and welfare and that compliance with the procedural requirements of section 24-4-2103, C.R.S., resulting in further delay would be contrary to the public interest.
The changes to the zinc equation are to be effective immediately upon adoption by the Commission, and continue in effect until the effective date of permanent regulations.
