Self-Certification information should be submitted electronically to cdphe_apcd_selfcertification@state.co.us
The final step of the air-permitting process to finalize the permit is to submit the Final Approval and Self-Certification packet. Within 180 days after receiving the Initial Approval permit, you must certify compliance with the permit requirements to receive a Final Approval permit. The Final Approval and Self-Certification packet must be submitted within 180 days of commencement of operations, or the permit may be revoked.

After we issue a construction permit, you must file a Notice of Start-up (NOS) for the associated equipment and complete the self-certification process. Do not submit the Notice of Start-up(s) through the self-certification email. These should be submitted separately by downloading and submitting the electronic form. If you are having issues submitting the NOS form, contact Amber Stowell.
- Form APCD-103: Notice of Start-up (electronic submittal)
You must submit the Notice of Start-up no more than 15 days after the equipment begins to operate. The form must include the specific equipment details that weren't provided with the permit application. This includes the make, model and serial-number information of the emissions source and emissions-control equipment.
