2 CCR 401-1-3 - Purpose and Scope
A.
Purpose. The purpose of these Rules is to provide regulation of
and standards for weather modification in Colorado in accordance with the
legislative declaration provided by the Act, section
36-20-101, C.R.S. (2011), and
pursuant to the legislative direction provided by section
36-20-107(3)(a).
Rules for regulation of weather modification operations are of statewide
concern to the state of Colorado and the Department of Natural Resources. The
state of Colorado, through the Colorado General Assembly, recognizes the
economic benefits that can be derived for the people of Colorado from weather
modification, while minimizing possible adverse effects through implementation
of proper safeguards and collection of accurate information. The Colorado
General Assembly authorized the Director to issue permits applicable to weather
modification operations pursuant to the Act, section
36-20-108(1),
C.R.S. (2011). This direction is intended to ensure that weather modification
operations implement proper safeguards and provide accurate information on
operations.
B.
Scope.
These Rules apply to all weather modification operations in the state of
Colorado, including, but not limited to, those by individuals, corporations,
local government agencies, regional government agencies, state government
agencies, and federal government agencies.
