| Description: | The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) currently evaluates impacts to the human and natural environment on a project-by-project basis and at the project design level. On corridors with many successive projects, this often results in the replication of environmental impact studies. CDOT's Corridor Streamlining Evaluation Project is developing a method for evaluating potential impacts to resources from future projects at the corridor level and during project planning. By conducting evaluations at the corridor level, several projects can be evaluated, lessening the number of studies needed. As part of this pilot project, CDOT conducted a pilot study on State Highway 24 to evaluate the use of aerial imagery and remote sensing technology to accurately map environmental resources. The pilot, which builds on previous CDOT efforts to map wetlands with infrared photography, mapped plant communities, sensitive species habitats, wildlife corridors, historical and archeological resources, and hazardous waste sites. The pilot also evaluated the relative and absolute accuracy of different scales and assessed various methods of interpreting remotely-sensed imagery. Wetlands data collected and stored in CDOT's Geographic Information System (GIS) are already being used to predict impacts, select wetlands mitigation sites, and support a Section 7 consultation for a threatened species. CDOT used a refined application of this technology on the US 285 transportation corridor project to support a feasibility study. Using remotely-sensed data to identify lynx habitat and model probable lynx dispersal routes, CDOT is locating the best sites for crossing structures. Overall, CDOT's Corridor Streamlining Evaluation Project will allow it to map boundaries and objects and collect environmental data accurately while projects are still being conceptualized. The base maps developed and data collected will allow CDOT to decide on project design, develop cumulative impact assessments, and anticipate and identify mitigation needs and opportunities. | |
