Sustainability Objective:
Improve air quality to protect public and environmental health.
One of the best things about Longmont is the view of Mount Meeker and Longs Peak from just about anywhere in town. However, air pollution because of transportation, building operations, and industrial activities not only obscures our mountain views but also negatively affects public health, decreasing everyone’s quality of life and increasing healthcare costs. Integrating sustainable practices into how we manage building operations, transportation, industrial activities, and waste streams improves air quality across the city.
How We Achieve Our Sustainability Objective:- Increase inspections of emissions from oil and gas sites
- Expand air quality monitoring and improve access to information about air quality
- Develop programs and participate in regional efforts to reduce ozone emissions
- Adopt and enforce leak detection and repair associated with oil and gas operations
