SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND RATIFYING A SUPPLEMENTAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT AGREEMENT AND APPROVING A

PROGRAM
SUMMARY:
This proposed ordinance approves and ratifies a Supplemental Environmental Project
(SEP) Agreement between the City of Pueblo and the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment (CDPHE), approves a modification to said Agreement, and
authorizes the Mayor to execute the modification. The Supplemental Environmental
Project Agreement provides $378,880 for the establishment of a Household Hazardous
Waste collection program, which will be accepted and budgeted and appropriated into
Project Account No. PL2302 - Household Hazardous Waste Program.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The City has entered into a SEP Agreement which will provide funding for the
establishment of a Household Hazardous Waste program. This project will provide
Pueblo residents with a public facility to safely and cost-effectively dispose of items
such as household cleaners, pesticides, fertilizers, automotive fluids, fluorescent light
bulbs, paints, batteries, and other common household waste items. The program would
divert these hazardous wastes from local landfills and offer an easy alternative to illegal
dumping that has become pervasive in this area. Funds provided under the program
will be used to procure and install a prefabricated household hazardous waste storage
building at the Pueblo RecycleWorks facility on Stockyard Road; fund the disposal of
collected Household Hazardous Waste items; procure materials, supplies, and
equipment necessary to operate the program; and provide necessary safety training for
employees.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City will accept funds from CDPHE in the amount of $388,870.00 and budget and
appropriate said funds into Project Account No. PL2302 - Household Hazardous Waste
Program.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
Failing to approve this Ordinance will preclude the City of Pueblo from accepting the
funds from CDPHE and prevent the establishment of the Household Hazardous Waste
program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of this Ordinance.
