Spills on highways, into waterways, any spill in the highway right-of-way exceeding 25 gallons, or that may otherwise present an immediate danger to the public shall be reported by calling 911, and shall also be reported to the CDPHE at 1-877-518-5608. More information can be found at https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/emergency- reporting-line. , 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. 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!!!

Arkansas Ave. Shumate Building Denver, Colorado 80222 303-757-9343 Water Quality Program Industrial Facilities Program CDOT has a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System permit, otherwise known as (MS4) from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The permit states that only stormwater can be discharged from CDOT’s storm drain system As part of the permit, CDOT has several different programs to prevent pollutants from entering into the storm drain system: Construction Site Program New Development Redevelopment Program Illicit Discharge Program Industrial Facilities Program Public Education and Outreach Program Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Program Wet Weather Monitoring Program 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. Control Measures for Industrial Facilities Industrial facilities can use control measures (CM) otherwise known as Best Management Practices (BMP) during the construction of a facility and when operating the facility. Control measures are schedules of activities, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent and reduce pollution entering into CDOT’s storm drain system. Control Measures also include treatment, operating procedures, and practices to control site run off which can include structural and non-structural controls. CDOT defines a utility, or utility facility as any privately, publicly, or cooperatively owned line, facility, or system producing, transmitting or distributing the following: Communications Cable television Power Electricity Light Heat Gas Oil Crude Products Water Stream Waste Stormwater not connected with highway drainage Similar Commodity Industrial Facilities Program Elements: 1.Educate and outreach to owners or operators that have potential to contribute substantial pollutant to water. 2.Report and include information on discharge and water quality concerns. Provide written notification within 15 days of discovery to CDPHE. 3.Submit an annual report to CDPHE containing the number of informational brochures distributed; name and title of each individual trained. Education There are instances when a utility company or other entity doing work in the state highway right-of-way will require some type of environmental permit or clearance for that work. CDOT has put together an Environmental Clearances Information Summary for those applying for a CDOT Utility and Special Use Permit or Access Permit to obtain all required clearances. This fact sheet is given to each permittee and is available at: https://www.codot.gov/programs/enviro nmental/resources/guidance- standards/Environmental%20Clearances% 20Info%20Summary.p Region 3 Traffic Section 222 S 6th St, Room 100 Grand Junction, Colorado 81501 (970) 683-6288 LATE FALL, WINTER AND SPRING SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR WORK WITHIN CDOT ROW It’s that time of year again when work within the Right of Way (ROW) becomes a special concern. Due to Northwest Colorado’s unpredictable weather, work in the ROW can create several types of hazards for the traveling public, contractors, and their personnel. The condition of the highway can change quickly. Mud tracked onto the highway by equipment, or ice and snowpack are just a few of the conditions that make the roadway more hazardous for all concerned. The terrain within the ROW must be kept clear of hazards as well. Holes, trenches, equipment and materials can make the terrain “unrecoverable” for a driver should his/her vehicle leave the highway. Activities must be shut down when the roadway is other than dry. The use of frozen materials for backfilling will only lead to settlement. The contractor must make extra effort to compact the excavation. In the spring, any settlement of backfill shall be repaired. The re-vegetation shall take place yet this fall or early next spring. PERMIT NUMBER: GENERAL PERMIT TERMS & CONDITIONS CDOT IS NOT A UNCC MEMBER AND UNCC WILL NOT LOCATE CDOT FACILITIES.
