Complete the following steps for Anhydrous Ammonia registration in Colorado:

1. Site Approval

Your site must first be approved for anhydrous ammonia. Contact your local jurisdiction having authority and obtain written approval of your site. Your local jurisdiction can be your:

City Government
County Government
Municipality or
Fire District

On an 8.5 x 11 standard piece of paper, draw the proposed site. Include:

All adjacent property lines
Main railroad lines
Dedicated road right-of-ways
Dug wells or potable water supplies
Occupied buildings
Places of public assembly and
Institution occupancy (such as schools, nursing homes, hospitals, etc.)

Send your local jurisdiction site approval, site drawing and a completed Application for Approval of Anhydrous Ammonia Site, along with an Anhydrous Ammonia Site & Tank Registration to our Cashier's Office. The site approval application will only need to be filled out once, and there is no fee.

Written Site Approval from the Colorado Department of Agriculture must be obtained before installation of an Anhydrous Ammonia facility can begin. The facility must have a final inspection by the Department prior to being filled, charged or operated. Contact Mark Gallegos with any questions.
