The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is struggling with a big delay in processing Clean Water Act permits. Currently, only 33 percent of the permits for discharging fluids from wastewater plants and factories into streams are up to date. This backlog is causing trouble for keeping waterways safe.
Companies whose permits have expired are unsure about future environmental rules and costs. This makes it hard for them to make plans for growth or changes because their permits do not follow the latest environmental rules.
The state lawmakers have sanctioned an additional $2.4 million to the department, however, the department can use this money until June 2025. Therefore, the department has to come up with a new plan to keep the permit updated.
