Permit Compliance

The 5-2-1 DA intends to apply for a single NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit with the State of Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) to replace four current permit holders: Grand Junction, Palisade, Mesa County, and the Grand Valley Drainage District.  A single entity will then be responsible for stormwater quality and will administer the permit.  These are unfunded, federal environmental mandates.  Failure to comply may result in fines of up to $10,000 a day to the 5-2-1 DA.  The following lists of areas have been defined by the State for mandated oversight by a governing authority.  The 5-2-1 DA will be carrying out the mandated oversight.
