Air Quality Initiatives

Adams County Air Quality Initiatives

Adams County is participating in the Colorado Local Entity Air Network (CLEAN) Love My Air program with two solar-powered, particulate matter air monitors located at Rotella Park and the Justice Center. The monitors detect airborne particulate matter (PM2.5) that commonly comes from vehicle emissions.

For more information on what you can do to improve air quality and to sign up for ozone air quality alerts, visit the Simple Steps Better Air website. More information on regional air quality, air permitting, and state regulatory programs can be found on the Air Pollution Control Division website.

Adams County participated in the Suncor Plant 2 Operating Permit renewal process, including requesting public hearing, submitting multiple comments to the Air Pollution Control Division, and sending a comment letter to the EPA Region 8 Administrator. Please visit the Air Pollution Control Division’s Information about Suncor Refinery website for updates and additional information.
