 On all sales of state lands, the terms of payment shall be as follows: Not less than twenty-five percent of the purchase price shall be paid in cash at the time of the sale, and the balance shall be made payable upon an amortization plan based on interest at not less than four percent per annum and providing for the payment of semiannual installments sufficient in amount to extinguish such balance at the end of thirty-three years from date of sale; but, in cases where the total improvements on the land sold are in excess of forty percent of the total value of the land, the state board of land commissioners may, in its discretion, reduce the amount which shall be paid in cash at the time of the sale to ten percent of the purchase price. The purchaser shall have the privilege, on any installment date, of paying on his original obligation, in addition to the installment then due, the sum necessary to reduce the original obligation by one hundred dollars or any multiple thereof, but in such event, except when any such additional payment is sufficient to discharge the purchaser's entire debt, the balance remaining due from the purchaser shall remain amortized for the remainder of said thirty-three-year period on the same interest basis, with adjusted semiannual installments. Any certificates of purchase outstanding on lands sold on or before May 2, 1929, may, when the state board of land commissioners deems it advisable, and upon application of the holder thereof, be converted to certificates of purchase on the amortization plan. The board shall have the right to charge such fees under this article as it may deem reasonable.   History. Source: L. 29: P. 520, § 1. CSA: C. 134, § 112. CRS 53: § 112-5-12. L. 55: P. 685, § 1.

 The general assembly declares that the state of Colorado recognizes that economic benefits can be derived for the people of the state from weather modification. Operations, research, experimentation, and development in the field of weather modification shall therefore be encouraged. In order to minimize possible adverse effects, weather modification activities shall be carried on with proper safeguards, and accurate information concerning such activities shall be made available for purposes of regulation. While recognizing the value of research and development of weather modification techniques by governmental agencies, the general assembly finds and declares that the actual practice of weather modification, whether at public or private expense, is properly a commercial activity which the law should encourage to be carried out, whenever practicable, by private enterprise.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 36 - Natural Resources - General|Article 20 - Weather Modification|§ 36-20-114. Limits of Permit

  Except for ground-based winter cloud seeding, a separate permit is required annually for each operation. If an operation is to be conducted under contract, a permit is required for each separate contract. Subject to the provisions of subsection (2) of this section, a permit may be granted for more than one year's duration. A permit for ground-based winter cloud seeding shall be issued for a period of five years. If a permit for a ground-based winter cloud seeding operation is renewed, the second permit shall have a duration of five years and any third or subsequent permit shall have a duration of ten years.    The director may conditionally approve a project other than ground-based winter cloud seeding for a continuous time period in excess of one year's duration. Permits for such operations must be renewed annually. In approving the renewal of a permit for a continuous program, the director may waive the procedures for initial issuance of a permit in section 36-20-112 and, upon review and approval of the project's operational record, the director may issue a renewed permit for the operation to continue. In such instances, the fees imposed pursuant to section 36-20-113 may be prorated and paid on an annual basis.    A project permit may be granted by the director without prior publication of notice by the operator in cases of fire, frost, hail, sleet, smog, fog, drought, or other emergency. In such cases, publication of notice shall be performed as soon as possible and shall not be subject to the time limits specified in this article or in article 4 of title 24, C.R.S.     History.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 36 - Natural Resources - General|Article 20 - Weather Modification|§ 36-20-115. Modification of Permit

  The director may revise the terms and conditions of a permit if:   The operator is first given notice and a reasonable opportunity for a hearing on the need for a revision; and    It appears to the director that a revision is necessary to protect the health or property of any person or to protect the environment.       If it appears to the director that an emergency situation exists or is impending which could endanger life, property, or the environment, the director may, without prior notice or a hearing, immediately modify the conditions of a permit or order temporary suspension of the permit on the director's own order. The issuance of such order shall include notice of a hearing to be held within ten days thereafter on the question of permanently modifying the conditions or continuing the suspension of the permit. Failure to comply with an order temporarily suspending an operation or modifying the conditions of a permit shall be grounds for immediate revocation of the permit.    It shall be the responsibility of the operator conducting any operation to notify the director of any emergency which can reasonably be foreseen or of any existing emergency situations in subsection (2) of this section which might in any way be caused or affected by the weather modification operation. Failure by the operator to so notify the director of any such existing emergency, or any impending emergency which should have been foreseen, may be grounds, at the discretion of the director, for revocation of the permit for operation.
