Chevron urges the Commission to assure that <br />such NPDES controls will meet the State statutory requirements <br /> <br />contained in Section 25-8-102, which dictate a reasonable <br /> <br />relationship between the economic, environmental, energy, and <br /> <br />public health costs and impacts of the specific water quality <br /> <br />control measure. We urge the Commission to insure that the <br /> <br />implementation of the NPDES no-salt return approach results in <br /> <br />no Colorado water rights being impaired and that no particular <br /> <br />water user bears a disproportionate burden in controlling <br /> <br />salinity. <br /> <br />In order to insure that this NPDES permit policy does not <br /> <br /> <br />disrupt the allocation of water to Colorado under the Colorado <br /> <br />River Compact and the Upper Colorado River Compact and protect <br /> <br />for beneficial uses the waters of the State of Colorado <br /> <br />pursuant to the Constitution and the Statutes of the State of <br /> <br />Colorado, we urge the Commission to revise the implementation <br /> <br />section as follows: <br /> <br />3.9.5. <br /> <br />IMPLEMENTATION <br /> <br />The Triennial Report and supplement thereto of the Colorado <br />River Basi~ Salinity Control Forum concerning the plan of <br />implementation for salinity control for the Colorado River <br />System has been adopted separately as a policy statement by <br />the Commission.
