<br />.1 <br />~ <br /> <br />Any person desiring to engage in development in an area of <br />state interest or to conduct an activity of state interest must file <br />an application for a permit with the local government in which the <br />development or activity is to take place. An injunction procedure is <br />authorized against any development or activity for which a permit is <br />not granted. <br /> <br />The Department of Local Affairs is charged with conducting <br />a statewide program to encourage counties and municipalities to <br />prepare a complete and detailed identification and designation of <br />all matters of state interest within each county by June 30. 1976. <br />This would seem to indicate that the Colorado Water Conservation <br />Board must be able to identify and describe the pertinent floodplains <br />within the state by that time. Perhaps we can define the most obvious <br />flood hazard areas by June 30. 1976. in general terms. but it will <br />not be possible to specifically identify and map all such areas by <br />that time. <br /> <br />In summary. it appears that this board has the following <br />responsibilities under the Land Use Act. as follows: <br /> <br />1. To promulgate a model floodplain regulation not later <br />than September 30. 1974. <br /> <br />2. To identify in general terms floodplain hazard areas <br />by June 30. 1976. <br /> <br />3. To assist local governments on a continuing basis in <br />the specific identification of floodplain hazard areas. <br /> <br />4. To assist local governments on a continuing basis in <br />determining what use and occupation may be permitted <br />in designated floodplain hazard areas. <br /> <br />FLS:mm <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />~~ <br />~v <br /> <br />-3- <br /> <br />May 14. 1974 <br />
