threatened or endangered species are encountered during the progress of the permitted work, work in the subject area shall be halted
and the COOT Regional Permitting Office and Region Planning and Environmental Manager shall be contacted immediately.
Authorization must be provided by COOT prior to the continuation of work. Information about threatened or endangered species may

be orovided bv the aaarooriate Reaion Plannina and Environmental Manager (RPEM).
Cultural Resources • The applicant must request a file search of the permit area through the Colorado Office of Archaeology and
Historic Preservation (OAHP), Denver, to ascertain if historic or archaeological resources have previously been identified. Inventory of
the permit area by a qualified cultural resources specialist may be necessary, per the recommendation of COOT. If archaeological
sites/artifacts or historic resources are known to exist prior to the initiation of the permitted work or are encountered as the project
progresses , all work In the subject area shall be halted and the COOT Regional Permitting Office and Region Planning and

Hazardous Materials. Solld Waste -The Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and FaclliUes Act C.R.S. 30-20-100, et al, and Regulations
Pertaining to Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities (6 CCR 1007-2), prohibit solid waste disposal without an approved Certificate
of Designalion (a landfill permit). The Colorado Hazardous Waste Act C.R.S. 25-15-301 et al, and the Colorado Hazardous Waste
Regulalions (6 CCR 1007-3) prohibit the transfer, storage or disposal (TSO) of hazardous waste except at permitted TSO sites. There
are no permitted landfills or TSO sites within the State Highway Right of Way. Therefore, all solid or hazardous wastes that might be
generated by the activities of entities entering the State Highway Rlght of Way must be removed from the ROW and disposed of at a
permitted facility or designated collection point (e.g., for solid waste, a utility or construction company's own dumpster). If pre-existing
solid waste or h azardous materials contamination (including oil or petroleum contaminated soil, asbestos, chemicals, mine tailings,
etc.) is encountered during the performance of work, the permittee shall halt work In the affected area and Immediately contact the
COOT Regional Permitting Office for direction as to how to proceed. Contact Info: Andy Flurkey, COOT Hazardous Materials Project

the applicable requirements of the COPHE Air Pollution Control Division's (APCO) Regulation 8. Disposal of ACM, and work done in
asbestos-contaminated soil, must comply with the CDPHE Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division's (HMWMD) Solid
Waste Regulations. The application for any COOT permit must specifically identify any ACM involved in the work for which

Water Quality Certifications Issued by the CDPHE WgCD -Corps of Engineers 404 permits are required for the discharge of
dredged or fill materials Into waters of the United States, Including wetlands. There are various types of 404 permits, includlng
nationwide permits, which are issued for activities with relatively minor impacts. For example, there is a nationwide permit for utility
line activities (nwp #12). Depending upon the specific circumstances, it is possible that either a •general" or ·individual" 404 permit
would be required. If an individual 404 permit is required, section 401 water quality certification from the CDPHE WQCD is also
required. Contact the appropriate Corps District Regulatory Office for information about what type of 404 permit may be required
(contact information above). Contact the CDPHE Water Qualitv Control Division at ,(303) 692-3500.
Working on or In any stream or Its bank -Jn order to protect and preserve the state's fish and wildlife resources from actions that
may obstruct, diminish, destroy, change, modify, or vary a natural existing stream or its banks or tributaries, it may be necessary to
obtain a Senate Biii 40 certification from the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. A stream Is defined as 1) represented by a
solid blue line on USGS 7 .5' quadrangle maps; and/or 2) Intermittent streams providing live water beneficial to fish and wildlife; and/or
3) segments of streams supporting 25% or more cover within 100 yards upstream or downstream of the project; and/or 4) segments of
streams having wetlands present within 200 yards upstream or downstream of the project measured by valley length. The CPW

Best management practices for Industrial
faclllty permittees
Industrial facilities can use best management practices during construction or the
radlily and when operating the radHty. Best management practices are schedules of
activities, prohibitions of practla!s, maintenance procedull!S. and oth« management
practices to pll:Yent or reduce pollution entering coors stonn drain sy5tem. BMPs abo
Include treatment. operating procedures, and practlces ID CDfllrol site runoff. spllage or

CDQT has a permit from the Colorado Department

permit staies that only stormwater (and a few other
allowable discharges llke landscape Irrigation overflow)
can be discharged from coors storm drain system.
Pollutants, SIKh as dirt fertilizers; pesticides; and all

strictly prohibited from being disposed of in coors

As part of the permit COOT has several different
programs to pR!Yl!nt pollutants from entering the storm

• Construction sites program
• New development and redevelopment program
• Illicit discharges pwgram
• Industrial facilities program
• Public; education and Involvement program
• Pollution prevention and gnod hnusekeeplng

• Wet weather monitoring program
COOT has a program to Identify and
