Environmental Justice
Any type of environmental, social, or economic effect has the potential to
adversely impact low-income and minority populations or be borne largely
by low-income and minority populations. The environmental justice analysis
considers effects on low-income and minority populations by the project
alternatives.

Environmental Justice Mitigation Measures
All Alternatives Mitigations
In addition to traditional mitigation measures, CDOT commits to some innovative measures to offset the impacts to lowincome and minority populations. These measures for all alternatives include:
!
!
Provide targeted assistance to encourage businesses that are crucial to low-income and minority
populations to find new locations in the same neighborhoods
Provide funding to CRHDC, a non-profit housing agency, to assist residential and business displacees with
financial counseling and procurement of financing for replacement property and securing business and
residential loans. CDOT has already provided funding to CRHDC as early mitigation
!
Provide residents close to the highway construction between 45th and 47th Avenues from Brighton
Boulevard to Colorado Boulevard a free portable air conditioning unit and assistance to pay for the
potential additional utility costs during construction
!
!
!
Facilitate opportunities to promote hiring individuals from the communities such as job fairs with
contractors
Provide a new HVAC system, doors, and windows for Swansea Elementary School to help mitigate the dust
and noise expected during the construction period
Prior to the start of roadway construction, build two new classrooms at Swansea Elementary School to
enhance the overall quality of the school
!
Research contributions to existing programs that facilitate access to fresh food
Additional Mitigations for the Partial Cover Lowered Alternative
With the Partial Cover Lowered Alternative there are additional opportunities to mitigate some of the impacts beyond what
is listed above:
!
!
Construct a cover over the highway to mitigate community impacts and design an urban area on top of the
highway cover adjacent to Swansea Elementary School
Provide community members an opportunity to help the project team develop a meaningful theme for the
design of the walls and barriers for the project and develop the Aesthetic and Design Guidelines as part of
the specifications for construction
!
!
Redesign and reconstruct the school playground; this will include the adjacent parcels as part of the
elementary school site and will eliminate Elizabeth Street between 46th and 47th Avenues
Provide funding to develop affordable housing units in the Elyria and Swansea Neighborhood through
available programs

Air Quality
The Clean Air Act requires CDOT demonstrate that I-70 East, once completed,
does not violate national air quality standards set by EPA, worsen existing
violations, or delay timely attainment of federally established standards.
This requires a focus on three pollutants for which the Denver area is violating or
has violated in the past: Carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM10), and
ozone.
Local "hotspot" analyses for CO and PM will be updated in the Final EIS
!
Ozone is evaluated by DRCOG at a regional level
!

CDOT also conducted emissions inventories for criteria pollutants, MSATs and
greenhouse gases. This information will be updated in the Final EIS:

MSATs include seven pollutants designated by EPA
as having serious health and/or environmental
effects:
1. Benzene
2. Formaldehyde
3. Naphthalene
4. Diesel particulate matter/Diesel
exhaust organic gases
5. Acrolein
6. 1,3-Butadiene
7. Polycyclic organic matter

Where will the noise walls be located with the Partial Cover Lowered Alternative?
¿Dónde se construirán los muros contra el ruido para la Alternativa de Paso a Desnivel Parcialmente Cubierto?
With the Partial cover Lowered Alternative, noise walls are only recommended in the Elyria Neighborhood on the north side of the highway. However,
this recommendation is pending completion of a benefitted receptor survey with more than 50 percent approval by owners and residents.

Para la Alternativa de Paso a Desnivel Parcialmente Cubierto, se recomiendan los muros contra el ruido para el vecindario de Elyria solamente, al lado norte de
la autopista. Sin embargo, esta recomendación estará pendiente hasta que se complete la encuesta a los beneficiarios de la reducción del ruido y se obtenga
más de un 50 por ciento de aprobación por parte de dueños y residentes.
