2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 7 - Air Quality Control|Part 1 - Air Quality Control Program|§ 25-7-123.1. Statute of Limitations - Penalty Assessment - Criteria

     Any action pursuant to this section not commenced within five years of occurrence of the alleged violation is time barred.    Without expanding the statute of limitations contained in paragraph (a) of this subsection (1), any action pursuant to this article, except those commenced pursuant to section 25-7-122 (1)(d) or 25-7-122.1 (1)(c), which is not commenced within eighteen months of the date upon which the division discovers the alleged violation is time barred. For purposes of this section, the division discovers the alleged violation when it learns of the alleged violation or should have learned of the alleged violation by the exercise of reasonable diligence, including by receipt of actual or constructive notice.    The five-year period of limitation contained in this section does not apply where information regarding the alleged violation is knowingly or willfully concealed by the alleged violator.       A penalty may be assessed for each day of violation. For purposes of determining the number of days of violation for which a penalty may be assessed under sections 25-7-122 and 25-7-122.1 (1), or an assessment may be made under section 25-7-115 (5), where the division has notified the source of the violation, and the division makes a prima facie showing that the conduct or events giving rise to the violation are likely to have continued or recurred past the date of notice, the days of violation shall be presumed to include the date of such notice and each and every day thereafter until the violator establishes that continuous compliance has been achieved, except to the extent that the violator can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that there were intervening days during which no violation occurred or that the violation was not continuing in nature.    The division may request the district attorney for the district in which the alleged violation or noncompliance, or any part thereof, occurred or may request the attorney general to bring, and if so requested, it is the duty of such official to bring a suit for recovery or any penalty or nonpayment penalty, with interest, imposed pursuant to section 25-7-122 (civil penalties) or 25-7-122.1 (criminal penalties), if the penalty is not paid when due. The division may not revoke a permit issued pursuant to parts 1 to 4 of this article or certification issued pursuant to part 5 of this article solely for failure to pay penalties when due, unless an order is first issued and all administrative and judicial remedies are pursued unsuccessfully.

Requirements for Legislative Approval of Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission or Successor Body Advisory Recommendations, Reports, and Interpretations

  The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares:   That the Grand Canyon visibility transport commission (GCVTC) was created pursuant to section 169B of the federal act to issue a report directed toward protecting visibility in the Grand Canyon national park;    That the GCVTC's tasks assigned under the federal act have been completed, and a successor body is being proposed;    That protecting visibility is important to the people of Colorado, is an interstate issue, and is highly technical, complex, and subject to varying interpretations; and    That the provisions of this section are enacted to preserve Colorado sovereignty and to enhance public notice and awareness of the GCVTC or its successor bodies' advisory recommendations, reports, or interpretations, and to ensure public confidence in the fairness of the implementation of any Colorado requirements.       The governor or the governor's designee is encouraged to attend and participate in the successor body to the GCVTC. A stakeholder process shall be implemented to include representatives of the general assembly. The governor shall provide an annual report of the activities of the GCVTC or its successor bodies to the general assembly until such time as the governor has forwarded to the federal environmental protection agency notification that the state shall comply with the provisions of Title 40, code of federal regulations, part 51.308, adopted in accordance with the federal act. The goal of this process is to protect the interest of Colorado over air quality issues.

  The general assembly finds and declares that methyl tertiary butyl ether (“MTBE”) is an oxygenate used in gasoline and other fuel products in this state and in the United States. The general assembly also finds that MTBE may leak into and contaminate groundwater supplies, and that MTBE is water soluble and therefore is difficult and costly to remove from water. MTBE is colorless, tastes and smells like turpentine, and can be tasted and detected by smell at extremely low concentrations. MTBE may be a human carcinogen and poses other potential health risks, including but not limited to memory loss, asthma, and skin irritation.    The general assembly further finds and declares that water is precious and vital to this state's growing population, agricultural industry, and unique environment. Therefore it is the intent of the general assembly in enacting this section to halt further contamination and pollution of this state's groundwater supplies by MTBE.      , a person may not sell, offer for sale, or store any fuel product containing or treated with MTBE.    (Deleted by amendment,L. 2005, p. 283, § 21, effective August 8, 2005.)
