Abstract
The Water Quality Control Division (the Division) in the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is tasked with administering water quality control programs to protect waters of the state. The Division provides education, compliance assistance, permits, inspections and enforcement to promote prevention, control and abatement of water pollution. Per HB121119, the Division has been meeting since June (a total of 10 meetings) with stakeholders in the construction industry and other interested parties to develop a more responsive, streamlined process to improve compliance, reduce violations and provide timely enforcement. This report includes the results of this collaborative effort, including actions to develop more streamlined and responsive processes and recommendations for moving forward.

Natural gas and the transformation of the U.S. energy sector: electricity
Abstract
The Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA) designed this study to address four related key questions, which are a subset of the wider dialogue on natural gas: 1. What are the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with shale gas compared to conventional natural gas and other fuels used to generate electricity?; 2. What are the existing legal and regulatory frameworks governing unconventional gas development at federal, state, and local levels, and how are they changing in response to the rapid industry growth and public concerns?; 3. How are natural gas production companies changing their water-related practices?; and 4. How might demand for natural gas in the electric sector respond to a variety of policy and technology developments over the next 20 to 40 years?
