DENVER—Air-quality officials say ozone monitors in the Denver area and northern Colorado are expected to show summertime levels that were higher than federal standards.
The Regional Air Quality Council said Wednesday that preliminary reports show that nine of the 14 monitors are projected to show levels that are out of compliance.
The Air Quality Council and the state health department are developing a plan to reduce ozone levels. Once complete, it will be sent to the Legislature and governor for approval and then submitted to the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
State health officials say El Paso County didn’t violate ozone standards this summer.
