| Description of Subjects/Issues |
Reformat of stream classifications and water quality standards tables |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
These regulations establish classification and numeric standards for the South Platte River, the Laramie River, the Republican River and the Smoky Hill River, including all tributaries and standing bodies of water as indicated in section 38.6. The classifications identify the actual beneficial uses of the water. The numeric standards are assigned to determine the allowable concentrations of various parameters. Discharge permits will be issued by the Water Quality Control Division to comply with basic, narrative, and numeric standards and control regulations so that all discharges to waters of the state protect the classified uses. (See section 31.14). It is intended that these and all other stream classifications and numeric standards be used in conjunction with and be an integral part of Regulation 31.0 - BASIC STANDARDS AND METHODOLOGIES FOR SURFACE WATER. |
| Comments |
The new Appendix 38-1 (provided in two parts, 38-1a and 38-1b, because the word document becomes difficult to manage as a single document) REPLACES the previous tables. Please DELETE the old tables. Appendix 38-1 is intended to be a single document. I can provide a PDF version if that would be easier.
The seven exhibits for this Notice are available for review with the filing for Regulation #32, Tracking Number 2015-00758, included in this issue of the Colorado Register. |
