Dear Commissioner Rademacher:
Thank you for contacting me regarding Regulations 31 and 85, and their negative ramifications.
After discussing the issue with representatives from several communities and state departments, I
have strongly suggested to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) that we
find a more economic solution.
It is troubling to see such regulations pushed, especially when the cost benefit analysis is far from
efficient or productive. A state-wide aggregate benefit-cost ratio of 0.8:1 is problematic. In the
current tough economic times, our state should be looking for every opportunity to improve
efficiency. We must find a better solution and I have sent a letter to CDPHE asking for such. I
have asked them to limit further action on the proposed regulations, and to work to find a more
suitable, and economic resolution.
I look forward to continuing to work with you on this issue, and hope that our state can find a better
answer to managing nutrients in Colorado's waterways
Sincerely,
Q
