In 1995 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency granted Colorado a waiver to completely administer and enforce the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act regulations within the state. We're responsible for maintaining the management plan files and inspecting schools to make sure they comply with the regulations.
On January 22, 2021, the Air Quality Control Commission adopted the proposed revisions to Colorado Regulation Number 8, Part B. Some of the revisions require information to be submitted on new forms. The Air Pollution Control Division (Division) is working to draft these forms and will soon be soliciting feedback from the regulated community.
The Colorado Office of Policy, Research and Regulatory Reform is currently conducting a sunset review of the Colorado Asbestos Control Act. Analysis is
performed to determine if the Act is necessary and should be continued, modified, or repealed. To provide input on this review, please

Groundwater contamination by arsenic was first discovered in the west of Bangladesh in late 1993 following reports of extensive contamination of water supplies in the adjoining areas of West Bengal, India.
The project 'Groundwater Studies for Arsenic Contamination in Bangladesh' was a reconnaissance investigation of the arsenic problem, carried out over the period 1998 to 2001. Its remit was to collate available data and conduct new groundwater surveys.
The project was funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). One of the main aims of the investigation was to assess the scale of the groundwater arsenic problem in order to aid the rapidly developing arsenic mitigation programme.
A second aim was to increase our understanding of the origins and behaviour of arsenic in Bangladesh aquifers. These aims were subsequently expanded to include a broader range of hydrochemical parameters.
The project was carried out in a collaboration between a number of organisations. On behalf of the Government of Bangladesh, DFID appointed the British Geological Survey (BGS) as lead consultants for the study. The Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), which is responsible for water supply throughout the country other than in the cities of Dhaka and Chittagong, was the executing agency. The Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) and Geological Survey of Bangladesh (GSB) also provided counterparts.
