2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 7 - Air Quality Control|Part 5 - Asbestos Control|§ 25-7-511. Enforcement

  Whenever the division has reason to believe that any person has violated any of the provisions of this part 5 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the division may issue a notice of violation and cease-and-desist order. The notice of violation shall set forth the provision, rule, or regulation alleged to have been violated and the facts constituting such violation. The cease-and-desist order shall set forth the measures which the person shall take to eliminate the violation and the time within which these measures shall be performed. The order may require that the person stop work at the asbestos abatement project until the violation has been eliminated or may require a school to submit and implement an asbestos management plan by a date specified by the division.    If the recipient of a cease-and-desist order issued pursuant to subsection (1) of this section fails to comply with the terms of the order within the time specified, the division may file an action in the district court of the county where the violation is alleged to have occurred requesting that the court order the person to comply with the cease-and-desist order. When the division alleges that the violation poses a significant danger to the health of any person, the court shall grant such action priority.    Unless the division has filed an action in the district court pursuant to subsection (2) of this section, a recipient of a cease-and-desist order may request a hearing before the commission to contest the cease-and-desist order. Such request shall be filed within thirty days after the cease-and-desist order has been issued. A hearing on the cease-and-desist order shall be held pursuant to section 25-7-119.    Upon a finding by the division that a person is in violation of any of the provisions of this part 5 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the division may assess a penalty of up to twenty-five thousand dollars per day of violation or such lesser amount as may be required by applicable federal law or regulation. In determining the amount of the penalty to be assessed, the division shall consider the seriousness of the danger to the public's health caused by the violation, whether or not the violation was willful, the duration of the violation, and the record of the person committing such violation.    A person subject to a penalty assessed pursuant to subsection (4) of this section may appeal the penalty to the commission by requesting a hearing before the commission. Such request shall be filed within thirty days after the penalty assessment is issued. A hearing pursuant to this subsection (5) shall be conducted pursuant to section 25-7-119.    All penalties collected pursuant to this section shall be transmitted to the state treasurer, who shall credit the same to the general fund.     History.

  In administering the program, the division shall:   Conduct or oversee program activities and scientific studies and determine an appropriate scope, sequence, and timetable for such studies and activities;    Subject assertions by a federal land manager of air quality related value impairment in a class I federal area and studies concerning source attribution and source apportionment to peer review;    Utilize the study design and data collection and analytical techniques set forth in section 25-7-211 that are relevant and appropriate to the activity or study;    Assure that studies proceed as expeditiously as sound science will allow in order to minimize any delay in the process.       As necessary or appropriate, the division may:   Enter into memoranda of understanding for participation in the studies and activities required by this part 10;    Create cooperative public-private partnerships with various entities; and    Perform any other appropriate activity to carry out the intent of the program.       The division shall not be required to pay the cost of any studies that are discretionary as set forth in this part 10 other than as set forth in this section. If the division determines that an air quality related value of a class I federal area has the potential to be significantly threatened by air pollution, or is being impacted by air pollution, then the division shall apply for grants or act as a catalyst to secure financial support from available funding sources in federal, state, or local governments and private entities, to identify the threat by funding the necessary air quality related value baseline data collection, or to assist in remedying the threat by funding necessary attribution or apportionment studies. The division is also authorized to act as a catalyst to secure financial support from other sources for such studies. The results of such studies and data collection shall be made available to the appropriate federal land manager and interested members of the public to assist in the management of these scenic resources and to cooperate in any needed air quality related values assessments.

  Upon receipt of a report under section (6)(b) from the division, and after the division has made the report available to all significant source or source categories identified pursuant to section 25-7-1006, the commission shall give notice that it is to conduct a rule-making hearing concerning the implementation of control strategies recommended in the report.    In addition to other applicable rule-making provisions, the rule-making hearing shall be conducted:   In reasonable proximity to the affected class I federal area;    To allow sufficient time for comment and testimony by all interested persons; and    To allow reasonable discovery pursuant to section 24-4-103 (13) and (14), C.R.S.         The commission shall order by rule implementation within a reasonable time of a practical and cost-effective control strategy or strategies that will provide reasonable progress toward remedying the impairment, if the commission finds that:   The evidence in the record shows the existence of a significant impairment of an air quality related value in a class I federal area;    An identifiable source or source category is responsible for significantly causing or contributing to the impairment;    The best available retrofit technology exists for any such stationary source;    Reasonably available control measures exist for any such other sources or source categories;    Implementation of the control strategies would make significant improvement in the impairment;    Taking into account that the ability to attribute the cause of air pollution effects and to apportion the air pollution effects among sources and source categories identified by attribution studies is an area of evolving science, a correlation of the extent of improvement in air quality related value impairment can reasonably be expected to result from imposition of a control strategy or strategies for each significant source or source category identified by the division.       Within fourteen days after having received the division's report under section 25-7-1006 (6)(b), a source or source category may petition the commission, as part of its rule-making hearing conducted pursuant to this subsection (3), to make a determination that the benefits of phasing, segmenting, or excusing the control strategy or strategies outweigh the benefits of imposing the control strategy or strategies. In making such determination, the commission shall consider all economic and related costs associated with the implementation of the control strategy or strategies involving the source or source category. The burden of proof shall be on the petitioner.         History. Source: L. 96: Entire part added, p. 1448, § 1, effective June 1.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 7 - Air Quality Control|Part 11 - Lead-Based Paint Abatement|§ 25-7-1101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby declares that:   Exposure of children to lead represents a significant environmental health problem that is preventable;    According to the federal “Residential Lead-based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992”, 15 U.S.C. secs. 2682 and 2684, et seq., as amended, home buyers and renters must be properly informed of the risks of lead exposure to children, especially children under seven years of age;    Trained and qualified individuals are needed in order to advise consumers about lead hazards in general and about specific measures that may be needed to control such hazards; and    The state seeks to adopt the concept of “lead-safe” housing units and child-occupied facilities, rather than “lead-free” housing and facilities. The goal of the state should not be the removal of all lead-based paint, but the creation of housing and facilities where no significant lead-based paint hazard is present. This goal includes the removal, enclosure, or encapsulation of lead-based paint to remove lead hazards from target housing and child-occupied facilities.       The general assembly declares that the enforcement of the lead-based paint abatement standards may be delegated to local health and building departments in Colorado.    Therefore, the general assembly determines and declares that the enactment of this part 11 is a matter of statewide concern to achieve uniformity in the regulation of lead abatement practices and uniformity in the qualifications for and certification of persons who perform such abatement.
