01:34 PM -- House Bill 09-1062

Representative Curry, bill sponsor, presented House Bill 09-1062 concerning the authorization of a water quality monitoring program in the Piceance Basin relating to the effects of oil and gas operations. Representative Curry asked for the bill to be postponed indefinitely. She explained that with this bill, she was trying to ask the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to support funding from the environmental response fund for a baseline water quality analysis in the Piceance Basin. She explained that the U.S. Geological Survey and partners have started a study but is only in phase I and this bill would provide funding for the second phase. Therefore, Representative Curry felt that the timing was not right for this bill. Representative Curry answered questions about whether funding would have been available.
