LTS Legislation from Colorado: On April 20, Governor Owens signed SB01-145 into law. This bill, which was one of the top items on Attorney General Ken Salazar's legislative agenda, creates an "environmental covenant," an enforceable mechanism for implementing institutional controls imposed in connection with cleanups of contaminated sites. SB01-145 also contains several innovative provisions intended to address many of the inherent difficulties of implementing institutional controls. For example, the law provides for multiple enforcers, and allows the state environmental regulatory agency to enforce local zoning ordinances under certain circumstances.
