The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division is requesting surface water quality data for the development of the 2024 303(d) List of Impaired Waters and Monitoring and Evaluation List (Regulation #93). This effort requires a compilation of recent water quality parameters including biological, physical, chemical, and other related information collected from 2017 through 2021. The division specifically requests data collected in the Upper Colorado, North Platte, and Lower Colorado river basins (Regulations #33 and #37). Data from other basins will be included in requests in subsequent years. Data must be submitted to the division by September 1, 2022. Required documents, a list of parameters of interest, and data submission templates are available from the division website.
