Colorado Water
Portions of 6 Colorado streams are being added to the state's list of polluted waters, according to the Denver Post [August 4, 2004, "EPA orders additions to list of polluted waters"]. From the article, "Six more waterways should be added to the state's list of polluted waters for which cleanup plans are required, the Environmental Protection Agency has decided. The EPA order overrules a decision by Colorado's Water Quality Control Commission to exclude the stretches from its 2004 list, adopted in March. With the six additions, there would be 123 streams on the list, the longest since Colorado began tracking such problems in 1989...The new segments include an 11-mile stretch of Bear Creek, which provides drinking water to Genesee, Evergreen, Kittredge and Morrison and parts of unincorporated Jefferson County. The EPA also wanted to add the Dolores River and Red Mountain Creek in southwest Colorado; two tributaries to the Blue River in Summit County; and a stretch of the South Platte River downstream of the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District, which treats sewage for much of the Denver region."

Denver November 2004 Election
Here's a story about a debate last night between Ken Salazar and Mike Miles from the Rocky Mountain News [August 4, 2004, "Just an 'ordinary' guy"]. The debate will be televised Saturday from 6-7 p.m. on KUSA Channel 9. Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [August 4, 2004, "Miles, Salazar trade debate shots"].
Colorado Luis: "Mike Miles and Ken Salazar had their final debate yesterday. It was a stark contrast to the battle on the Republican side for the Senate nomination, which has gotten extremely nasty and personal as the candidates exchange personal attacks. Yes, the two candidates had their disagreements, but they were primarily about policy -- particularly health care and water policy."
The Secretary of State's office is looking in to allegations of irregularities with absentee ballots, according to the Rocky Mountain News [August 4, 2004, "State investigates voting requests"]. From the article, "Clerks from Denver, Arapahoe, Adams and Jefferson counties surrendered the forms to the state elections chief because of questions about possible altering of party affiliations, bogus addresses and other irregularities, including similar handwriting on multiple registration requests." Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [August 4, 2004, "Possible voter fraud has AG's office on hunt"].
