The provisions of 25-8-202(1)(d) and (2), 25-8-401, 25-8-501, 25-8-501.1, and 25-8-502, C.R.S., provide the specific statutory authority for the amendments to this regulation adopted by the Water Quality Control Commission (Commission). The Commission has also adopted, in compliance with 24-4-103(4) C.R.S., the following statement of basis and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE
The Commission decided to modify Section 61.15 to reflect current changes in the Water Quality Control Act regarding fee sectors and to delete provisions referencing fee proration. The statute does not require fee proration and recent changes to the statute require a permit application fee which in effect prorates a portion of the fee to allow the Division to begin work on a permit action. The Commission decided to remove the proration portion of the regulation with the understanding the Division has the discretion to waive fees where appropriate.
