“Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has appointed outside attorneys to lead an investigation into accusations certain Air Pollution Control Division staff at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment knowingly disregarded air quality enforcement standards and asked subordinates to do the same.
In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a separate, but similar, investigation into practices within CDPHE’s Air Division. Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, or PEER, is a legal group representing employees with environmental concerns who come forward as whistleblowers. PEER’s Denver field office is serving as legal counsel for this trio of whistleblowers.”
