The following paragraphs are excerpts of the State Highway
Access Code. These are provided for your convenience but
do not alleviate compliance with all sections of the Access
Code. A copy of the State Highway Access Code is available
from your local issuing authority (local government) or the
Colorado Department of Transportation (Department).
When this permit was issued, the issuing authority made its
decision based in part on information submitted by the
applicant, on the access category which is assigned to the
highway, what alternative access to other public roads and
streets is available, and safety and design standards.
Changes in use or design not approved by the permit or the
issuing authority may cause the revocation or suspension of
the permit.
APPEALS
1. Should the permittee or applicant object to the denial of
a permit application by the Department or object to any of the
terms or conditions of a permit placed there by the
Department, the applicant and permittee (appellant) have a
right to appeal the decision to the [Transportation]
Commission [of Colorado]. To appeal a decision, submit a
request for administrative hearing to the Transportation
Commission of Colorado within 60 days of transmittal of
notice of denial or transmittal of the permit for signature.
Submit the request to the Transportation Commission of
Colorado, 4201 East Arkansas Avenue, Denver, Colorado
80222-3400. The request shall include reasons for the
appeal and may include changes, revisions, or conditions
that would be acceptable to the permittee or applicant.
2. Any appeal by the applicant or permittee of action by a
local issuing authority shall be filed with the local authority
and be consistent with the appeal procedures of the local
authority.
3. In submitting the request for administrative hearing, the
appellant has the option of including within the appeal a
request for a review by the Department's internal
administrative review committee pursuant to [Code]
subsection 2.10. When such committee review is requested,
processing of the appeal for formal administrative hearing,
2.9(5) and (6), shall be suspended until the appellant notifies
the Commission to proceed with the administrative hearing,
or the appellant submits a request to the Commission or the
administrative law judge to withdraw the appeal. The two
administrative processes, the internal administrative review
committee, and the administrative hearing, may not run
concurrently.
4. Regardless of any communications, meetings,
administrative reviews or negotiations with the Department
or the internal administrative review Committee regarding
revisions or objections to the permit or a denial, if the
permittee or applicant wishes to appeal the Department's
decision to the Commission for a hearing, the appeal must
be brought to the Commission within 60 days of transmittal
of notice of denial or transmittal of the permit.
PERMIT EXPIRATION
1. A permit shall be considered expired if the access is not
under construction within one year of the permit issue date
or before the expiration of any authorized extension. When
the permittee is unable to commence construction within one
year after the permit issue date, the permittee may request a
one year extension from the issuing authority. No more than
two one-year extensions may be granted under any
circumstances. If the access is not under construction within
three years from date of issue the permit will be considered
expired. Any request for an extension must be in writing and
submitted to the issuing authority before the permit expires.
The request should state the reasons why the extension is
necessary, when construction is anticipated, and include a
copy of page 1 (face of permit) of the access permit.
Extension approvals shall be in writing. The local issuing
authority shall obtain the concurrence of the Department
prior to the approval of an extension, and shall notify the
Department of all denied extensions within ten days. Any
person wishing to reestablish an access permit that has
expired may begin again with the application procedures. An
approved Notice to Proceed, automatically renews the
access permit for the period of the Notice to Proceed.
CONSTRUCTION
1. Construction may not begin until a Notice to Proceed is
approved. (Code subsection 2.4]
2. The construction of the access and its appurtenances as
required by the terms and conditions of the permit shall be
completed at the expense of the permittee except as
provided in subsection 2.14. All materials used in the
construction of the access within the highway right-of-way or
on permanent easements, become public property. Any
materials removed from the highway right-of-way will be
disposed of only as directed by the Department. All fencing,
guard rail, traffic control devices and other equipment and
materials removed in the course of access construction shall
be given to the Department unless otherwise instructed by
the permit or the Department inspector.
3. The permittee shall notify the individual or the office
specified on the permit or Notice to Proceed at least two
working days prior to any construction within state highway
right-of-way. Construction of the access shall not proceed
until both the access permit and the Notice to Proceed are
issued. The access shall be completed in an expeditious and
safe manner and shall be finished within 45 days from
initiation of construction within the highway right-of-way. A
construction time extension not to exceed 30 working days
may be requested from the individual or office specified on
the permit.
4. The issuing authority and the Department may inspect
the access during construction and upon completion of the
access to ensure that all terms and conditions of the permit
are met. Inspectors are authorized to enforce the conditions
of the permit during construction and to halt any activities
within state right-of-way that do not comply with the
provisions of the permit, that conflict with concurrent highway
construction or maintenance work, that endanger highway
property, natural or cultural resources protected by law, or
the health and safety of workers or the public.
5. Prior to using the access, the permittee is required to
complete the construction according to the terms and
conditions of the permit. Failure by the permittee to abide by
all permit terms and conditions shall be sufficient cause for
the Department or issuing authority to initiate action to
suspend or revoke the permit and close the access. If in the
determination of the Department or issuing authority the
failure to comply with or complete the construction
requirements of the permit create a highway safety hazard,
such shall be sufficient cause for the summary suspension
of the permit. If the permittee wishes to use the access prior
to completion, arrangements must be approved by the
issuing authority and Department and included in the permit.
The Department or issuing authority may order a halt to any
unauthorized use of the access pursuant to statutory and
regulatory powers. Reconstruction or improvement of the
access may be required when the permittee has failed to
meet required specifications of design or materials. If any
construction element fails within two years due to improper
construction or material specifications, the permittee shall be
responsible for all repairs. Failure to make such repairs may
result in suspension of the permit and closure of the access.
6. The permittee shall provide construction traffic control
devices at all times during access construction, in
conformance with the M.U.T.C.D. as required by section 42-
4-104, C.R.S., as amended.
7. A utility permit shall be obtained for any utility work within
highway right-of-way. Where necessary to remove, relocate,
or repair a traffic control device or public or private utilities for
the construction of a permitted access, the relocation,
removal or repair shall be accomplished by the permittee
without cost to the Department or issuing authority, and at
the direction of the Department or utility company. Any
damage to the state highway or other public right-of-way
beyond that which is allowed in the permit shall be repaired
immediately. The permittee is responsible for the repair of
any utility damaged in the course of access construction,
reconstruction or repair.
8. In the event it becomes necessary to remove any right-
of-way fence, the posts on either side of the access shall be
securely braced with an approved end post before the fence
is cut to prevent any slacking of the remaining fence. All
posts and wire removed are Department property and shall
be turned over to a representative of the Department.
9. The permittee shall ensure that a copy of the permit is
available for review at the construction site at all times. The
permit may require the contractor to notify the individual or
office specified on the permit at any specified phases in
construction to allow the field inspector to inspect various
aspects of construction such as concrete forms, subbase,
base course compaction, and materials specifications. Minor
changes and additions may be ordered by the Department
or local authority field inspector to meet unanticipated site
conditions.
10. Each access shall be constructed in a manner that shall
not cause water to enter onto the roadway or shoulder, and
shall not interfere with the existing drainage system on the
right-of-way or any adopted municipal system and drainage
plan.
11. By accepting the permit, permittee agrees to save,
indemnify, and hold harmless to the extent allowed by law,
the issuing authority, the Department, its officers, and
employees from suits, actions, claims of any type or
character brought because of injuries or damage sustained
by any person resulting from the permittee's use of the
access permit during the construction of the access.
CHANGES IN ACCESS USE AND PERMIT VIOLATIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the property owner and
permittee to ensure that the use of the access to the property
is not in violation of the Code, permit terms and conditions or
the Act. The terms and conditions of any permit are binding
upon all assigns, successors -in -interest, heirs and
occupants. If any significant changes are made or will be
made in the use of the property which will affect access
operation, traffic volume and or vehicle type, the permittee or
property owner shall contact the local issuing authority or the
Department to determine if a new access permit and
modifications to the access are required.
2. When an access is constructed or used in violation of
the Code, section 43-2-147(5)(c), C.R.S., of the Act applies.
The Department or issuing authority may summarily suspend
an access permit and immediately order closure of the
access when its continued use presents an immediate threat
to public health, welfare or safety. Summary suspension
shall comply with article 4 of title 24, C.R.S.
MAINTENANCE
1. The permittee, his or her heirs, successors -in -interest,
assigns, and occupants of the property serviced by the
access shall be responsible for meeting the terms and
conditions of the permit, the repair and maintenance of the
access beyond the edge of the roadway including any cattle
guard and gate, and the removal or clearance of snow or ice
upon the access even though deposited on the access in the
course of Department snow removal operations. Within
unincorporated areas the Department will keep access
culverts clean as part of maintenance of the highway
drainage system. However, the permittee is responsible for
the repair and replacement of any access -related culverts
within the right-of-way. Within incorporated areas, drainage
responsibilities for municipalities are determined by statute
and local ordinance. The Department will maintain the
roadway including auxiliary lanes and shoulders, except in
those cases where the access installation has failed due to
improper access construction and/or failure to follow permit
requirements and specifications in which case the permittee
shall be responsible for such repair. Any significant repairs
such as culvert replacement, resurfacing, or changes in
design or specifications, requires authorization from the
Department.

What is stormwater runoff?
Stormwater runoff occurs when precipitation from rain or snowmelt
flows over the ground. Impervious surfaces like roads and sidewalks
prevent stormwater from naturally soaking into the ground
Why is stormwater runoff a problem?
Stormwater can pick up debris, chemicals, dirt and other
pollutants and flow into CDOT's storm drain system or directly
into a stream, river, lake, wetland or reservoir. Anything that
enters CDOT's storm drain system is discharged untreated into
the waterways we use for fishing, swimming, and providing
drinking water.
Dredged spoil, dirt, slurry, solid waste, incinerator
residue, sewage, sewage sludge, garbage, trash,
chemical waste, biological nutrient, biological
material, radioactive material, heat, pH, wrecked or
discarded equipment, rock, sand, any industrial,
municipal, or agricultural waste.
Tips for Reporting an Illicit Discharge
Call the illicit discharge hotline at (303) 512-4426
From a safe distance try to estimate the amount of
the discharge.
Identify characteristics of the discharge (color, odor,
algae, etc.).
Obtain information on the vehicle dumping the
waste (if applicable).
Do not approach!
Call *CSP for illicit dumping.
If possible, take a photo, record a license plate.
REMEMBER:
Never get too close to the illicit discharge, it may
be dangerous!!!
