Region VIII of the EPA is hereby providing notice, and requesting public comment on EPA's decision to identify additional water quality limited segments and associated pollutants in Colorado to be listed pursuant to Clean Water Act section 303(d)(2). Section 303(d)(2) of the Clean Water Act requires that states submit and EPA approve or disapprove lists of waters for which existing technology- based pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain or maintain state water quality standards and for which total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) must be prepared. On July 26, 2004, EPA partially approved and partially disapproved Colorado's section 303(d) list submittal for the 2004 listing cycle. Specifically, EPA approved Colorado's listing of 117 waters, associated pollutants, and associated priority rankings. EPA disapproved Colorado's decisions not to list six waterbodies and associated pollutants and one pollutant for a waterbody already listed by the State. EPA identified these additional water bodies and pollutants along with priority rankings for inclusion on the year 2004 section 303(d) list. EPA is providing the public the opportunity to review its decisions to add waters and pollutants (shown in Table 1) to Colorado's 2004 section 303(d) list, as required by EPA's Public Participation regulations (40 CFR part 25). EPA will consider public comments in reaching its final decisions on the additional water bodies and pollutants identified for inclusion on Colorado's list.
