Sections 25-1.5-208 and 25-1.5-208(1)(b) C.R.S. provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of the attached regulatory amendments. The Commission also adopted, in compliance with section 24-4-103(4) C.R.S. the following statement of basis and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE
Changes to Section 25-1.5-208 C.R.S. moved the authority for promulgating rules and approving the annual intended use plan from the Colorado Board of Health to the Water Quality Control Commission (Commission). Updates to these rules reflect this change in authority.
Changes to the Rules have also been made that streamline the Intended Use Plan process. The categorization and prioritization system that is included in the Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund Rules have been incorporated into the Drinking Water Grant Program Rules. These revisions and will enable the Division to develop one Intended Use Plan and Project Eligibility List, that will be used for both the grant and loan funds.
