These amendments to 6 CCR 1007-3, Parts 100 and 260 are made pursuant to the authority granted to the Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission in § 25-15-302(2), C.R.S.
Amendment of § 100.32(a)(1)(xii) & Addition of "Environmental use restriction" and "Notice of environmental use restriction" definitions to § 260.10
These proposed amendments are a clarifying change to the document review regulations. The regulations currently allow the Department to charge document review fees for time spent reviewing, evaluating and responding to "documents submitted or required to be submitted in connection with" certain specified subjects, including "Environmental Covenants or documents required under § 25-15-320(3), C.R.S."6 CCR 1007-3 , § 100.32(a)(1)(xii). This regulation was adopted before certain statutory amendments to the Environmental Covenant statute. Those amendments created an alternative mechanism to an environmental covenant called a "notice of environmental use restrictions." While the language of the existing regulation is broad enough to include notices of environmental use restrictions (as they are submitted as an alternative to an environmental covenant in cases where a covenant would otherwise be required), expressly including the term removes any confusion that may exist on this point.
Definitions of "Environmental use restriction" and "Notice of environmental use restriction" are also being added to § 260.10 of the Regulations as part of this rulemaking.
