This study deals with two related questions: (1) how does the economic base of Denver city and county Influence city government, especially as regards revenue and expenditure, and (2) how does (and can) city government influence the economic base to bring about desired community goals? The main finding of this study is that greater concern with local government policies designed to encourage or discourage (or both) business-economic activity is justified and could well be rewarded with beneficial results.
Internally cured concrete has been rapidly emerging over the last decade as an effective way to improve the performance of concrete. Internal curing (IC) holds promise for producing concrete with an increased resistance to early-age cracking and enhanced durability. It is a simple and effective way to cure concrete.
The Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) Water Quality Control Division is developing an approach to manage nutrients in Colorado waters. The primary driver for this effort has been an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) directive to reduce nutrients in waters under jurisdiction of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). The Division's proposal to control the discharge of nutrients relies largely on a technology-based control regulation that would establish effluent limits for both total phosphorus (TP) and total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) for many domestic and some nondomestic wastewater treatment facilities that become subject to the control regulation will have to invest in capital improvements and ongoing operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
The State of Colorado receives migrant education program (MEP) funding for which federal law mandates that the state identify and recruit all migrant students residing in Colorado who are eligible to receive services provided by the MEP. Identification and recruitment are critical activities because, the children who are most in need of program services are often those who are the most difficult to find.
A report that explains testing of standard mix designs to determine minimum-required performance levels for developing performance-based concrete mix design criteria.
This report summarizes the process of creating an earthquake public information program. The program is to inform the general public, including all ages, incomes and education levels, of any earthquake risks in Colorado as well as methods of preparation for an earthquake event
From the turn of the century through 2008, fewer Coloradans died of cardiovascular disease. Although fewer were dying of heart disease and stroke, more Coloradans were developing the risk factors that lead to cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure is pervasive, obesity rates have doubled and too few Coloradans get the nutritious food and physical activity needed to keep their hearts healthy. Research shows that social, economic and environmental factors have a significant impact on health outcomes.
