An Environmental Record Review (ERR) involves a search of records related to solid waste disposal, hazardous materials, on-site wastewater treatment systems, methamphetamine labs, and hazardous material spills or waste releases. Reviews may be conducted as part of a commercial real estate transaction to determine if the property has been subject to recognized environmental conditions or hazards.
To request an Environmental Record Review, contact Environmental Health staff at 720-643-2400 or [email protected]. The research fee is $60 for each property address request, payable by credit card. Staff will contact you by phone to collect payment. Reviews generally take no more than one week following receipt of payment.
