<br /> <br />w <br />~~ <br />w <br />~, <br /> <br />C. A schedule ,containing annual milestones for implementation of the <br />best management practices. <br /> <br />D. <br /> <br />A certification by the Attorney General of Colorado that the laws of <br />this state provide proper authority for implementation of BMP's. <br /> <br />E. <br /> <br />Sources of federal assistance and funding as well as other sources. <br /> <br />F. List of federal financial assistance programs and development <br />projects which the state will review for consistency with the state <br />management program. <br /> <br />Chapter II <br />ORGANIZATION FOR NONPOINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />The Water Quality Control Division, located in the Colorado Department of <br />Health, has the primary responsibility for the nonpoint source program in <br />Colorado. The Governor has appointed a nine member board to serve as a' <br />regulatory and policy setting entity_ for water quality issues. This board is <br />known as the. Water Quality Control Commission. The.Governor also provides the <br />final action on the management program prior to its submission to EPA. <br /> <br />The Colorado Nonpoint Source Task Force was formed. at the request of the Water <br />Quality Control Division in May, 1987. The Task Force has served as an <br />advisory and work group for the Division. To address the various concerns of <br />nonpoint source pollution, four subcommittees were formed as part of the <br />overall Task Force. These are: Agriculture/Silviculture, Urban and <br />Constru9tion Runoff, Mining, and Hydrological modification~ A mission <br />statement and membership list was developed for the Task Force and each <br />subcommittee. <br /> <br />To address each demonstration project submitted for funding, a process for <br />prioritization was developed. once projects have been ranked using this <br />system, the Task Force can make recommendations for funding to the Water <br />Quality Control Division. Also to assist in the evaluation of project <br />proposals, project implementation plan requirements were developed. <br /> <br />Best Management Practices (BMP's) are both structural and nonstructural <br />techniques which either prevent or reduce pollution from nonpoint sources. A <br />BMP list has been developed on the state level but specific BMP'S or a <br />combination of BMP's will need to be developed for each project. Attention <br />must also be given to the operation, maintenance, and replacement of BMP's <br />after the initial establishment. <br /> <br />Chapter III <br />EXISTING RESPONSIBILITIES, AUTHORITIES, AND PROGRAMS <br />FOR CONTROL OF NONPOINT SOURCES <br /> <br />The goal of Section 319 of the Clean Water Act is to control nonpoint sources <br />of water pollution. A number of agencies located at the federal, state, and <br />local levels of government are currently involved in or have some <br />responsibility for nonpoint source control. In most cases, no additional <br />authority will be required to solve nonpoint source water problems. <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />
