Flood Protection \::.::::::: , . The Flood Protection Program is directed in Section 37-60-106(1) C.RS. (1990) to prevent flood damages, review and approve floodplain designations prior to adoption by local government entities, and provide local jurisdictions with technical assistance and floodplain information. State statutes encourage operations, research, experimentation, and development in the tield of weather modification. These statutes require that operations be carried out with proper safeguards and by non-state governmental entities. The authority for carrying out this statute was given to the DNR Executive Director who has delegated this responsibility, including issuing permits, to the CWCR (36-20-101 to 36-20-127 C.RS.). In 2002, the General Assembly created a Watershed Protection Fund to be financed with money from an annual tax check-off. The Fund was created because protecting the natural heritage and quality of life in Colorado are of fimdamental importance and locally based collaborative approaches to the restoration and protection of lands and natural resources within Colorado's watersheds can be and should be conducted in concert with economic development. The CWCR manages these funds in cooperation with the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission and in consultation with the Colorado Watershed Assembly in the annual distribution of grants (39-22-240 I to 39-22-2403 C.RS.). The CWCR must also implement Executive Orders related to Flood Protection: . An August I, 1977 Executive Order requires the CWCR and Land Use Commission to provide assistance to entities in meeting the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. . An October 1, 1977 Executive Order designating the CWCR as the state agency responsible administering duties and responsibilities associated with the National Flood Insurance Program in Colorado.
