The provisions of 25-8-202(1)(a), (b) and (2); 25-8-203; 25-8-204; and 25-8-402, C.R.S. provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of these regulation 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 expiration date for the temporary modification for sulfate on the South Platte, segment 7b, mainstem of Brush Creek and Filter Creek has been extended from April 30, 1994 to January 31, 1995 to facilitate the scheduled rulemaking hearing for this segment now scheduled for March, 1994. The Commission understands that changes to the current classifications for this segment are likely to be proposed which would result in altered, new or eliminated temporary modifications. Extending the current temporary modifications would accommodate that rulemaking schedule without disrupting regulatory decisions that are based on the current modifications.
