The Regulated Community Sample Clauses

The Regulated Community. The scale and scope of the regulatory programs administered by the Water Quality Control Division are quite large. For example, there are over 100,000 stream miles in the state with designated water uses and standards assigned. The division has issued over 2,400 water discharge permits to municipalities and industries and approximately 5,000 stormwater permits. There are approximately 2,000 active public drinking water systems in Colorado with 5% of these systems serving 80% of the population. Colorado has drinking water systems and wastewater treatment systems in parts of the state where they did not exist a generation ago. In addition, new federal requirements, with respect to both the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act, have imposed challenges for both the division and its regulated community. Small communities with resource limitations find it especially difficult meeting these requirements.‌ How does the division address these challenges? • Compliance assistance. The division helps dischargers and water systems by answering regulatory and technical questions, conducting training, etc. • Discharger compliance. With respect to dischargers, there are a variety of regulatory processes that can extend the time to full compliance: temporary modifications and discharger specific variances to standards; site-specific standards based on local conditions; and changes to compliance schedules in permits. • Discharger violations. When compliance assistance and interim commitments do not produce improvement, enforcement measures are undertaken. • Lack of facility resources. Low interest and zero interest loans are available through the division’s partner agency, the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority. • Source water protection. Colorado is blessed by containing the headwaters for most of the nation. As development occurs at higher elevation and elsewhere in the state, community efforts, with the help of the division, are accelerating to protect the watershed of drinking water systems. • Water Quality Improvement Fund. State House Bill 06-1337 established a fund for addressing various water quality issues through provision of grants for the following: stormwater projects; design, construction, or upgrades of domestic wastewater treatment plants; and non-point source projects. The fund consists of penalties collected as a result of violations specified in the Colorado Water Quality Control Act.
