The provisions of C.R.S. sections 25-8-202; 25-8-203; 25-8-204; 25-8-402, provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of this regulation. The Commission also adopted, in compliance with section 24-4-103(4) the following statement of basis and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE
The Water Quality Control Commission amended Regulation 41.5(B)(6) to authorize the Commission to adopt site-specific standards in Regulation #42 for agricultural standards (listed in Tables 3 and 4) as well as domestic water supply standards (listed in Tables 1 and 2). The Commission determined that correcting the existing inconsistency between domestic and agricultural standards and expanding the Commission's authorization to adopt site-specific groundwater standards was consistent with the Commission's authority under the Water Quality Control Act, the overall policies of Regulations #41 and #42, and the Commission's 2001 discussion to allow consideration of site-specific standards for the agricultural standards in Tables 3 and 4.
