The provisions of sections 25-8-202(1)(c) and 25-8-205(1)(g), C.R.S., provide the specific statutory authority for the Graywater Control Regulation adopted by the Water Quality Control Commission (commission). The commission has also adopted, in compliance with section 24-4-203(4), C.R.S., the following statement of basis, specific statutory authority, and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE
The commission stated in the statement of basis and purpose language in section 86.21 that, "[t]he commission anticipates future reviews of this regulation to include a review for improved organization and readability." In the November 9, 2015 rulemaking the Commission reorganized Regulation #86 and, in some cases, clarified the language. These changes to Regulation #86 are not substantive and are not intended to create any new or different requirements for graywater systems. The revisions are intended to make Regulation #86 easier to understand, comply with, and implement.
In an effort to provide clarity the following revisions were made:
* Section 86.9 - clarified which of the local graywater program requirements must be adopted under an ordinance or resolution and which requirements may be adopted under rule,
* Section 86.11 - created a new independent section for graywater treatment works - flow projections in section
* Section 86.12 - reorganized the graywater treatment works design criteria in section into: subsurface irrigation graywater treatment works design criteria and indoor and urinal flushing graywater treatment works design criteria, rather than design criteria for each use category,
* Section 86.13 - moved the operation and maintenance manual requirements to section 86.13,
* Section 86.14 - moved the control measure requirements to section 86.14, and
* Minor editorial changes for clarity throughout.
