Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, June 10, 2024
Section 5 CCR 1002-86.22 - STATEMENT OF BASIS, SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY, AND PURPOSE; NOVEMBER 9, 2015 RULEMAKING, EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 30, 2015

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.
