2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 7 - Air Quality Control|Part 2 - Prevention of Significant Deterioration Program|§ 25-7-204. Exclusions

  The requirements of the state implementation plan for prevention of significant deterioration of ambient air quality shall not apply to a major stationary source or major modification with respect to a particular pollutant if the owner or operator demonstrates that:   As to the pollutant, the source or modification is subject to part 3 of this article, and the source or modification would impact no area attaining the national ambient air quality standards (either internal or external to areas designated as nonattainment under section 107 of the federal act); or    (Deleted by amendment,L. 92, p. 1229, § 27, effective July 1, 1992.)    Such emissions would be from a temporary activity which will not have an adverse impact on air quality in any class I area or an area where an allowable increase over the baseline concentration is known to be violated; except that such temporary activities shall be subject to requirements related to the employment of best available control technology; or    Such emissions would not be significant.       The following pollutant concentrations shall be excluded in determining compliance with maximum allowable increases:   Concentrations attributable to the increase in emissions from sources which have converted from the use of petroleum products, natural gas, or both, by reason of an order in effect under section 2(a) and (b) of the federal “Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act of 1974” (or any superseding legislation) over the emissions from such sources before the effective date of such an order, but not more than five years after the effective date of such an order;    Concentrations attributable to the increase in emissions from sources which have converted from using natural gas by reason of a natural gas curtailment plan in effect pursuant to the federal “Power Act” over the emissions from such sources before the effective date of such plan but not more than five years after the effective date of the plan; and    (Deleted by amendment,L. 92, p. 1229, § 27, effective July 1, 1992.)    Concentrations of particulate matter attributable to an increase in emissions from temporary activity.        History. Source: L. 79: Entire article R&RE, p. 1053, § 1, effective June 20.

 The attainment program embodied in the state implementation plan may, with respect to proposed new or modified major stationary sources within nonattainment areas which would cause or contribute to a violation of a national ambient air quality standard, provide an allowance for growth while providing reasonable further progress toward attainment, and new sources may be allowed that do not result, individually or in the aggregate, in emissions that exceed the allowance. Particulate matter not of a size or substance to adversely affect public health or welfare shall not be considered in determining whether any applicable growth allowance has been consumed. Modifications to an existing facility within a source may be allowed which are accompanied by emission reduction offsets within the same source sufficient to provide no net increase in emissions of an air pollutant from the source. If an applicable growth allowance has been consumed, the attainment program shall permit sources to be constructed only if emission reduction offsets providing a greater than one-for-one emission reduction are obtained from existing sources sufficient to provide reasonable further progress toward attaining the applicable national ambient air quality standards by the attainment date prescribed under Part D (Nonattainment Program) of the federal act. Any emission offsets required for sulfur dioxide, particulates, and carbon monoxide shall provide a positive net air quality benefit in the area affected by the proposed source.   History.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 7 - Air Quality Control|Part 4 - Control of Pollution Caused by Wood Smoke|§ 25-7-401. Legislative Declaration

 The general assembly hereby declares that it is in the interest of the state to control, reduce, and prevent air pollution caused by wood smoke. It is therefore the intent of this part 4 to significantly reduce particulate and carbon monoxide emissions caused by burning wood by developing an evaluation and certification program, in the department of public health and environment, for the sale of wood stoves in Colorado and by encouraging the air quality control commission to continue efforts to educate the public about the effects of wood smoke and the desirability of achieving reduced wood smoke emissions. The general assembly hereby finds that it is beneficial to the state to implement a program of voluntary no-burn days whenever the air quality control division determines that the anticipated level of wood smoke will or is likely to have an adverse impact on the air quality in any nonattainment area in the state.
