5 Colo. Code Regs. § 1002-61.29
The provisions of 25-8-202(1)(d) and (2); and 25-8-501 to 504 C.R.S. provide the specific statutory authority for the amendments to this regulation adopted by the Commission. The Commission also has adopted in compliance with 24-4-103(4) C.R.S., the following Statement of Basis and Purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE:
These amendments are necessary to complement the Pretreatment Regulations originally adopted by the Commission on April 5, 1988, and amended in June, 1990 and as a result of this hearing. The Pretreatment Regulations provide assurance the POTWs and the environment are protected from adverse impacts when hazardous or toxic wastes are discharged to a domestic sewer system. This is accomplished through the regulation of industries which discharge to a POTW, as well as the POTW itself. While the Pretreatment Regulations are implemented directly for industrial users, POTWs with discharge permits have pretreatment requirements included as part of the permits.
The discharge permit regulations have previously contained references to industrial pretreatment. These references have been to federal regulations and requirements. These amendments revise the references so as to correspond to the requirements as they appear in Section 6.9.3 of this regulation, Conditions of Permits.
The amendments being adopted were originally adopted by the Commission in the 1988 hearing that adopted the Pretreatment Regulations. However, due to confusion associated with three hearings postponing the Pretreatment Regulation's effective date, these amendments were never published. To avoid future confusion, these amendments are being formally readopted.
