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 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 purpose of this Manual is to provide guidance on preparing and processing documents that comply with NEPA and other applicable state and federal environmental laws affecting transportation projects in Colorado. This Manual provides references and links to related federal and state laws, executive orders, regulations, and policies. It also provides "best practice" examples for various compliance processes where appropriate. It is intended that CDOT staff, local agency representatives, and consultants use this Manual to implement NEPA in an effective manner, producing more consistent, improved environmental documents that decision-makers may use to make well-informed transportation decisions.
