This animation shows simulated hourly surface ozone concentrations during the 2014 FRAPPÉ campaign. The simulations have been performed with the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. The simulations have been conducted with a 4 km x 4 km grid horizontal resolution and show the frequent occurrence of high ozone pollution in the Colorado Front Range and the transport of this pollution into the nearby mountains during upslope events.
Air quality discussions address the emissions of pollutants from transportation systems which can be harmful to human beings, the natural environment, and the integrity of man-made materials. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) conducts air quality evaluations for its projects. The CDOT Environmental Programs Branch (EPB) or Regional Air Quality Specialist evaluates the potential for air quality impacts from a proposed transportation project and then determines if coordination with the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment Air Pollution Control Division.
This fact sheet was compiled to highlight some of the common wastes and emissions from auto service shops, and the most significant environmental regulations pertaining to these wastes/emissions.
Surface coaters of large appliances in Colorado are subject to very specific and often complex State and Federal air quality requirements that exist above and beyond reporting and permitting requirements common to other surface coating operations. Specific requirements for surface coaters of large appliances covered in this fact sheet include Colorado Air Regulation No. 7 and Federal Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards (MACT).
Surface coaters of metal furniture in Colorado are subject to very specific and often complex State and Federal air quality requirements that exist above and beyond reporting and permitting requirements common to other surface coating operations. Specific requirements for surface coaters of metal furniture covered in this fact sheet include Colorado Air Regulation No. 7 and Federal Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards (MACT).
