Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the results of State Planning and Research (SPR) 543 "Strategies to Integrate Environmental Stewardship into ADOT's Business." The primary objectives of this research were to qualitatively evaluate the environmental performance of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and to identify opportunity areas and strategies/actions for improving environmental performance. A collaborative approach to the research was used in executing the information-gathering, performance evaluation, documentation, and review elements of the research project. Two rounds of nine workshops involving a broad cross section of ADOT managers, supervisors, employees, and consultant personnel were conducted between July 2003 and April 2004. Representatives from Transportation Planning, Maintenance, Transportation Services, General Operations, Equipment Services, Construction, Aeronautics, Development, and the Motor Vehicle Division participated in the workshops. Technical Advisory Committee members selectively participated in the workshops. Before and after each round of workshops, the AASHTO consultant and the TAC met to discuss the workshop plans and outcomes. Based on the information gained from the 18 workshops, additional interactions with ADOT personnel, and review of background information provided, the researcher evaluated the environmental performance of the nine ADOT organizations and identified opportunity areas and strategies/actions for improving ADOT's environmental performance and stewardship. Overarching environmental performance improvement opportunities and strategies were identified in 13 environmental performance areas to improve ADOT's overall environmental performance and stewardship. Organization-specific environmental performance improvement opportunities were identified for each of the nine organizations. The details of the 18 workshops and the environmental performance evaluation are documented in the 11 Technical Memorandums prepared by the researcher. They were reviewed by the nine organizations and revised according to their comments. The Technical Memorandums are on file.

This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Division on Earth and Life Studies (DELS) have released the pre-publication version of TRB Special Report 290, The Potential Impacts of Climate Change on U.S. Transportation, which explores the consequences of climate change for U.S. transportation infrastructure and operations. The report provides an overview of the scientific consensus on the current and future climate changes of particular relevance to U.S. transportation, including the limits of present scientific understanding as to their precise timing, magnitude, and geographic location; identifies potential impacts on U.S. transportation and adaptation options; and offers recommendations for both research and actions that can be taken to prepare for climate change. The book also summarizes previous work on strategies for reducing transportation-related emissions of carbon dioxide--the primary greenhouse gas--that contribute to climate change. Five commissioned papers used by the committee to help develop the report, a summary of the report, and a National Academies press release associated with the report are available online. DELS, like TRB, is a division of the National Academies, which include the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
