Construction Projects

Campus construction project managers must follow established guidelines to ensure compliance with air quality regulations before, during, and after any project.

Large projects—those exceeding 25 acres or lasting more than six months—require a Land Development Permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. 

Guidance on reporting requirements is provided in the Division One documents. Certain types of equipment also must be reported to Environmental Health & Safety for air-permit purposes, including emergency generators, boilers, sterilizers, paint spray booths, and air-conditioning units that use ozone-depleting substances.

Construction projects that are over 25 acres and/or last over 6 months in duration will require a Land Development Permit through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The application for the Land Development Permit can be found here.

Please see the Division One documents on what needs to be reported.

Equipment that needs to be reported to EH&S for the air permit:

  • Emergency Generators
  • Boilers
  • Sterilizers
  • Paint spray booths
  • Air conditioners that use ozone-depleting substances
