Commerce City contracted Pinyon Environmental to evaluate local air and water quality conditions and develop policy recommendations to help improve environmental health for the community. Pinyon’s work includes a comprehensive emissions impacts report, air monitoring planning, emissions reduction guidance, and water quality analyses.
For air quality, Pinyon completed detailed research and data analysis to identify emission sources, assess pollutant distribution near residential and sensitive areas, and develop tools such as a dispersion modeling guide and air quality thresholds report. For water quality, Pinyon prepared Low Impact Development (LID) policy options and conducted analyses to identify potential contaminant sources and evaluate discharges to surface and groundwater.
Pinyon has also participated in community and stakeholder meetings, providing technical expertise to support informed decision-making and help Commerce City advance policies that protect public health and improve environmental conditions.
