02:27 PM -- HB 15-1016

Senator Sonnenberg, sponsor, described the provisions of House Bill 15-1016 concerning precipitation harvesting pilot projects and distributed Amendment L.009 (Attachment E). House Bill 09-1129 established a 10-year pilot program for the collection of precipitation from rooftops for nonpotable uses. The program can include up to 10 new residential or mixed-use developments. This bill, recommended by the Water Resources Review Committee, changes the requirements for the program to encourage more applicants. The changes include: making redevelopment projects eligible for the program; directing the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to update the criteria and guidelines for projects; reducing the amount of water needed for a project's temporary substitute water supply plan and permanent augmentation plan; and specifying that a project's temporary retention of storm water is not subject to the order of the state or division engineers if its in compliance with CWCB criteria, guidelines, and state water quality laws.
