The main purpose of the CDOT Project Development Manual is to provide a quick, easy-to-use overview of situations or dilemmas that might be encountered in the course of developing a project. The manual is intended to assist new engineers, designers and consultants.
The Hazards Loss Dataset Catalog is an effort to fill a gap in knowledge about hazards loss data. The understanding of hazard losses is very important for improving recovery decisions, monitoring mitigation efforts, assessing vulnerability, and determining disaster assistance.
This document enables counties and municipalities to prepare for and mitigate multiple hazards by integrating resilience and hazard mitigation principles into plans, codes, and standards related to land use and the built environment. This guide provides detailed, Colorado-specific information about how to assess a communitys risk level to hazards and how to implement numerous land use planning tools and strategies for reducing a communitys risk. This guide provides detailed descriptions of a range of land use planning mechanisms that can be used to reduce risk to hazards.
The United States must commit to metrication. Two overwhelming factors, the adoption of the metric system by the remainder of the world and the changing global economy, mandate that this nation must change. This Guide has been written to provide an explanation of the need for the change, and to serve as a resource to help bridge the gap between building roads in the English-based system of units and the Metric system. It is intended that this guide be used as a reference manual for CDOT employees in the Right-Of-Way, Design, Bridge, Materials, Traffic, Maintenance, Planning, and Environmental areas.
This report serves as an interim deliverable to the Interbasin Compact Process Basin Roundtables for both the Metro Roundtable and the South Platte Basin Roundtable. This report currently relies on the data developed as part of the Statewide Water Supply Initiative (SWSI).
This report presents the information contained in the SWSI Report that is specific to the Yampa/White/Green Basin as a starting point for the Colorado Basin Roundtable to develop the needs assessment required by the Interbasin Compact Process.
This report is presented as a guide to be used by the State in determining how the various functions from informed choice, to plan development, to service delivery can be implemented in such a way as to not only support but also facilitate a Self-determination process for persons with developmental disabilities. While there are some areas that have greater detail in the recommendations than others, there are some general themes that promote Self-determination and are important for the State to consider as the details are developed.
It was estimated that by 2030, Colorados 65 and over population will be 125% larger than it was in 2010, growing from 555,000 to 1,243,000. Older adults are essential to our society and must be provided with long lasting opportunities that keeps them active and well connected within communities. By focusing on a multidisciplinary approach that includes socio-economic factors, health and social services, and cultural competencies, the needs of older adults can be met, allowing them to reach their fullest potential and achieve a high quality of life. Recognizing that Colorado has a multitude of initiatives focusing on improving the health of Coloradans, the Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Human Services (CDHS), and Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) created the Colorado Cross-Agency Collaborative to establish a data strategy identifying metrics that are pertinent to Colorado as well as identifying gaps where further work is needed.
The Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA) designed this study to address four related key questions, which are a subset of the wider dialogue on natural gas: 1. What are the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with shale gas compared to conventional natural gas and other fuels used to generate electricity?; 2. What are the existing legal and regulatory frameworks governing unconventional gas development at federal, state, and local levels, and how are they changing in response to the rapid industry growth and public concerns?; 3. How are natural gas production companies changing their water-related practices?; and 4. How might demand for natural gas in the electric sector respond to a variety of policy and technology developments over the next 20 to 40 years?
