Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs) are a means by which penalties for environmental violations may be mitigated by directing funds violations may be mitigated by directing funds toward environmentally beneficial projects. In all settlements of environmental enforcement actions, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (the department) requires regulated entities to achieve and maintain compliance with all applicable regulations. All settlements include appropriate monetary penalties related to the environmental damage and financial gain the regulated entity received as a result of the violation. In some instances, regulated entities may mitigate a portion of their penalty by committing to implement a SEP. SEPs are projects that benefit either the environment or public health which a violator agrees to undertake in settlement of an enforcement action, but that the violator is not otherwise legally required to perform., Online resource; title from PDF caption (viewed March 2010)
Solid waste landfills release air pollutants that are regulated by the Air Pollution Control Division. As the waste in a landfill decomposes, it breaks down to form landfill gases (LFGs), such as Methane (CH4 ), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and non-methane organic compounds (NMOC). Landfills also can produce smog causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and air toxics, pollutants known or suspected of causing cancer and other serious health effects. Particulate Matter (PM) emissions can also be generated in the form of fugitive dust created by mobile sources (i.e., garbage trucks) traveling along paved and unpaved surfaces., Description based on online resource; title from PDF caption (viewed July 2017)

This report summarizes the results of an analysis of nitrate concentrations in the South Platte River between Chatfield Dam and the Burlington Ditch headgate (Upper South Platte Segments 6c and 14). The analysis is applicable to present and future conditions. Because the context for the analysis is a TMDL for nitrate, all influences on loads and concentrations of nitrate are taken into account as fully as possible on the basis of monitoring data, effluent characteristics, or other pertinent information. The focus of the analysis is on low-flow conditions because critical concentrations of nitrate coincide with minimum availability of dilution for point-source discharges. For this reason, identification of critical low flows is a major component of the analysis., prepared for: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division ; prepared by William M.

On August 5, 2015, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) work crew digging into the Gold King Mine (GKM) Level 7 adit near Gladstone, Colorado, triggered a blowout and on going discharge of impounded mine water. The EPA reported that more than 3 million gallons of acidic mine water containing sediment, heavy metals, and other chemicals discharged into Cement Creek, which flows into the Animas River, and into New Mexico where the Animas River joins the San Juan River before flowing into the Navajo Nation and Utah. EPA also estimated that more than 400,000 Kg of metals entered the Animas River as a result of the GKM discharge. Metals are accumulated and stored in streambed sediments during low flow, and these metals can be released into the water column in both dissolved and suspended phases during periods of high flow. A consortium of state, tribal, county, municipal and federal agencies, whose logos appear on the first page of this document above, are working together to put the following actions and contingencies into place., "March 24, 2016.", Numerous governmental agencies took part in the planning: New Mexico Environment Department; Utah Department of Environmental Quality; Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment; Southern Ute Indian Tribe; Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency; Ute Mountain Ute Tribe; San Juan County, New Mexico; City of Aztec, New Mexico; City of Farmington, New Mexico; San Juan Soil and Water Conservation District (NM); La Plata County, Colorado; City of Durango; San Juan County; Silverton (Colo.); San Juan Basin Health Department; New Mexico Department of Health; San Juan County Public Health Service; New Mexico Emergency Management and Homeland Security; Colorado Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management; New Mexico State University; New Mexico Department of Agriculture; New Mexico Tech; New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Research, USGS., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed August 2020)
