Air Permits for Colorado Business and Industry

Any business in Colorado that emits air pollution may be required to report its emissions and apply for a permit to emit.  The type of permit they apply for is determined by the volume and type of emissions.

 

Obtaining an Air Permit 

Construction (Emission) Permits New and existing businesses in Colorado that emit air pollutants above certain threshold levels may trigger the need for an air permit called a "Construction Permit".
Construction Permits for Oil and Gas Facilities The Oil and Gas industry construction permitting process has been developed specifically for that industry.
Operating Permits All major sources of air emissions in Colorado are required to obtain an Operating Permit.  These sources emits pollutants beyond the level required for a construction permit only. New major sources must first obtain a construction permit, and must apply for an operating permit within 12 months of commencing operation. 
Check Permit Status:
Open Burning Permits An Open Burning Permit is required to burn rubbish, waste paper, wood, or other flammable material on any open premises, or on any public street, alley, or other land adjacent to such premises.
