Petition to Protect Colorado's Streams & Wetlands

The Petition

I join together with all signatories of this petition to urge the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission (WQCC) to adopt a strong and enforceable Regulation 87 that:

Fully implements the bipartisan state law to protect all state waters — including rivers, streams, and wetlands — that sustain Colorado’s people, wildlife, and economy;

Provides comprehensive protections without expanding the exemptions or exclusions agreed upon in the legislation;

Ensures the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment can consider the public interest broadly, including economic, ecological, cultural, recreational, and public-health values tied to clean and flowing water; and

Strengthens Colorado’s resilience to drought, flood, wildfire, and climate change by safeguarding natural ecosystems and watershed functions we all depend on.

Colorado’s waters sustain all of us — our communities, livelihoods, farmers, ranchers, and the birds, fish and wildlife that depend on them. We call on the Commission to adopt a comprehensive Regulation 87 that upholds the law’s intent and protects the waters of the state for generations to come.
