There is established by the Town of Parachute a watershed district (“district”). The district is that area in which the Town shall exercise its powers to maintain and protect the Town’s waterworks from injury and the Town’s water supply from pollution. This district is created under the authority granted in § 31-15-707(1)(b), C.R.S., as amended, and Article XX of the Colorado Constitution. The district and these regulations are created only for the purpose of protecting the Town’s waterworks and water supply, and not for the purpose of regulating land use activities, which activities shall continue to be regulated by Garfield County, the federal government, and any other authority with jurisdiction over land use activities within the district. The Town shall implement and enforce these regulations for the purpose of reviewing and permitting any activity within the district which creates a foreseeable risk of injury to the Town’s waterworks or pollution of the Town’s water supply. The Town’s review authority within the district shall be exercised concurrently with the authority of Garfield County or any other government entity to review and/or permit the same activity as the Town may regulate; provided, however, in the event no review, approval or permit requirement exists, the Town’s review authority shall occur prior to the commencement of any activity covered by PMC Title 9. (Ord. 492, 2004)
