The decision of a Petitioning Entity not to request and make available a

hazardous materials routing petition to the CSP Hazardous Materials

Section for initial review will not prejudice the receipt of the petition

application. Petition applications submitted by Petitioning Entities that do

not receive an initial review and are returned as not received for being

HMR 4.15.3 Temporary Routing Under Section 42-20-301 (b), CRS, in

Response to Other Conditions.

As may be advisable and in the interest of public welfare and safety, the

CSP may exercise its authority under Section 42-20-301 (b), CRS, to

designate public roads temporarily or to apply conditions to the use of

existing designated hazardous materials routes in response to specific

conditions reasonably determined by the CSP to present an immediate

negative impact to public welfare and safety. Notice of any temporary

hazardous material routing designation will be forwarded to the CDOT and

the affected municipality, city, city and county, affected industry, and/or the

affected road and bridge authority.

HMR 4.15.3.1

Effective Initial Designation Period. An initial

temporary hazardous materials route designation or initial

the CSP will remain in effect for a period not to exceed the duration

of the condition nor to exceed 12 months, absent subsequent

review by the CSP.

HMR 4.15.3.2

Condition Review, Extension, and Resolution. A

temporary hazardous materials route designation or conditions

upon an existing hazardous materials route by the CSP may not

remain in effect beyond 12 months without a review to evaluate if

the condition(s) reasonably determined to present the immediate

negative impact(s) to public welfare and safety remain. If this

evaluation results in a determination that the condition(s) persist,

the CSP will extend the temporary designation initially for up to 180

days.

HMR 4.15.3.2.1

Opportunity to Petition or Correct

CSP may not

remain in effect beyond 12 months without a review to evaluate if

the condition(s) reasonably determined to present the immediate

negative impact(s) to public welfare and safety remain. If this

evaluation results in a determination that the condition(s) persist,

the CSP will extend the temporary designation initially for up to 180

days.

HMR 4.15.3.2.1

Opportunity to Petition or Correct. A

Petitioning Entity or the CDOT is encouraged to either take

appropriate action consistent with resolving the condition(s)

necessitating the temporary alternate route designation or to

petition the CSP for a permanent routing designation. Either

may be accomplished at any point before or after a

temporary route designation. It is encouraged that such

actions commence before the expiration of any 180-day

extension resulting from a 12-month review of a temporary

route designation by the CSP.

HMR 4.15.3.2.2

Action During Temporary Designation

Period. Before the expiration of any temporary alternate

Temporary Designation or Conditions Represent

Informal Notice a Hazardous Materials Route May No Longer

Satisfy the Statute. Temporary designation of a hazardous

materials route or the determination to apply temporary restrictions

immediate negative impact on public welfare and safety represents

informal notice that an existing designated hazardous materials

route may no longer satisfy statutory approval requirements

referenced within these rules. Temporary route designations or

temporary conditions placed on an existing designated hazardous

materials route will result in a route review within 12 months from

the CSP that may result in permanent changes to existing routing

or alternate route determination(s) consistent with the route review

process outlined in these rules.
