El valor de las propiedades se está disparando en Pueblo, pero el suyo podría verse afectado si no hace que su casa sea analizada o limpiada para detectar plomo y arsénico. Actúe ahora mientras la EPA aún cubre los costos de muestreo o limpieza necesarios.

We recently held a virtual holiday party to celebrate the season in a safe environment - complete with virtual decor, storytelling, and a spirited game of trivia! We are so grateful for our staff and wish everyone a safe and warm holiday season.

CDPHE was part of a team that was recently awarded the Honor Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies, which recognizes the year’s most outstanding engineering achievements. The Pikes Peak Project, the project that received the award, is a Voluntary Cleanup and Redevelopment (VCUP) site for a single family housing project which will serve the people of Colorado Springs. This was a coordinated effort between CDPHE’s VCUP and Solid Waste units to help with the plans and ex*****on of the cleanup. Additionally, CDPHE’s Colorado Brownfields Revolving Loan fund, which assists with the cleanup of unused or underused properties, loaned them $2.4 million to help finance the cleanup.

Congratulations to the team on this award! You can learn more about CDPHE’s VCUP program here:
