A. The Chatfield Watershed Authority may petition the Commission to initiate rulemaking pursuant to SB 23-267, codified at § 33-9-114, CRS, to impose a water quality fee on visitors to Chatfield State Park, provided the requested fee shall not apply to visitors to Chatfield State Park holding an annual or lifetime pass. The Authority's petition must:

2. Contain a copy of the proposed rule, preferably in redline format,

3. Identify current or proposed water quality projects within the boundaries of the Authority in need of funding, including an overview of the anticipated costs and benefits of such projects, and

4. Prioritize current or proposed water quality projects in terms of most urgent need and demonstrate financial need for such projects.

B. In the event the Commission imposes a water quality fee on visitors to Chatfield State Park, the Authority must, on or before June 1, 2029, submit a report to the Division detailing how and to what extent the resulting funding supported water quality projects that benefited Chatfield State Park and its recommendation on whether the water quality fee should be increased, repealed or otherwise amended. At least 25% of the funding will be used for water quality projects within the boundaries of Chatfield State Park. If the recommendation is to increase the fee with CPI, the fee may only be increased to the nearest dollar amount.
