Attached please find a summary of the formal comments received on or before October 17, 2001 regarding the
version of the Proposed Rules Concerning Recreational In- Channel Diversions as published in the Colorado
Register on October 10, 2001. We received nine letters on or before the October 17, 2001 deadline for
submission of formal comment and several additional letters after that date. This document also includes
additional comments from the Staff responding to comments received on or before to October 17, 2001.
Guide to the Summary Document
Preceding the Rules is a list of abbreviations that appears in the Summary Document. The Rules as submitted to
the Secretary of State on September 27, 2001 are copied into the Summary Document. The Rule titles appear as
BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS and the text of the rules appears as bold italic text. The Staff's recommendations are
reflected in the rules in redline form (strikeout for deletions and underline for additions). A description of the
Staff recommendation and an explanation for the Staff recommendation are entered in italic text and preceded
by a darkened arrow (10).
All comments are paraphrased and inserted in plain text below the Staff Recommendation for the appropriate
Rule, section and subsection proceeded by an empty arrow (b). The entity submitting the comment is identified
with a parenthetical reference after the comment. Please note that the comments are paraphrased and as such do
not contain the exact text of the comment letters. For original wording, please refer to the letter submitted by
the commenting party. Moreover, please refer to the individual letters received after October 17 for their
individual comments as those comments are not reflected in the Staff's Summary Document.
General comments (also paraphrased) are included at the end of the document as are comments regarding the
Statement of Basis and Purpose. A redline version of the Statement of Basis and Purpose follows the Summary
Document. In addition, a clean version of the Rules (as recommended by Staff) and a Table listing all of the
comments submitted to date, follow the redline version of the Statement of Basis and Purpose.
