1 Practice: Data-Sharing Agreement with Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Missouri State Historic Preservation Office
Subject Areas: Environment
Planning
GDC
Environmental Streamlining
State: Missouri
Organization: Missouri Department of Transportation
Contact: Michael Meinkoth
Title: Historic Preservation Manager
Email: Michael.Meinkoth@modot.mo.gov
Description: MoDOT partners with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Missouri State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to share geospatial data through the SHPO's Missouri Cultural Resource Inventory Database (CRID). The CRID is available to researchers and professional archaeologists conducting National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 consultations. MoDOT also uses the CRID to support planning and project reviews. MoDOT and the SHPO have a data-sharing agreement specifying how the agencies will share archaeological data. According to MoDOT, the agreement has dramatically expedited the process of completing NHPA Section 106 consultations. Previously, archaeological research for consultations required a physical trip to the University of Missouri's site files, but now cultural resource data can be accessed instantly and remotely through the CRID.
   
2 Practice: Integrated Ecological Framework (IEF)
Subject Area: Environment
State: Missouri

Description: IEF is a nine-step framework for Implementing Eco-Logical, an initiative funded by the Federal Highway Administration as part of the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2). As part of MoDOT's Implementing Eco-Logical project, MoDOT and Missouri Department of Conservation are establishing a new Memorandum of Understanding that will outline how the agencies will share natural resource information, integrate transportation and conservation planning, and establish Best Management Practices to protect sensitive species from transportation project impacts.

4 Practice: Missouri DOT's Realty Asset Inventory Management System
State: Missouri
Organization: Missouri DOT
Contact: David Ordway
Email: david.ordway@modot.mo.gov
Description: Missouri DOT's (MoDOT) Realty Asset Inventory Management System (RAI), which was developed by a consultant and became operational on July 1, 2007, is a statewide, computerized, relational database (data are stored in Oracle 10G) that allows staff to identify all the DOT's realty assets and assists in identifying properties that are no longer needed for highway purposes. It also houses documentation on all sales, leases, and excess properties, as well as references to other realty of interest, such as environmental, cultural, historical, and wetland mitigation sites.

Before the RAI, MoDOT kept acquisition records in a database. Historically, fields were not populated with great frequency because the system was not data-entry friendly. Auditors recommended that MoDOT staff be able to quickly know what the inventory is. In response, the RAI was developed, and now once parcels are acquired they flow in the RAI. Using the system, staffs are able to quickly search by parcel ID or by county, as well as update information specific to each parcel. This helps to mitigate latency and data integrity issues while streamlining data entry and reporting.

In the future, MoDOT also has plans to create a Google application programming interface (API) of the RAI to give users the look and feel they have grown accustomed to and expect.
   
5 Practice: Natural Heritage Review (NHR) Website and Missouri Natural Heritage Database (MONHD)
Subject Area: Environment
State: Missouri
Organization: Missouri Department of Transportation
Contact: Chris Shulse
Title: Senior Environmental Specialist
Email: christopher.shulse@modot.mo.gov
Phone: 573-526-6678
Description: MoDOT is working with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to improve MDC's NHR website and the associated MONHD. The NHR website and MONHD are resources for counties, municipalities, developers, and private contractors to review upcoming projects for impacts to threatened and endangered species, as well as species of conservation concern. Stakeholders can request MDC's assistance to conduct a "heritage review" to identify any potential impacts in the vicinity of their project areas. Using mapping tools and the database, MDC can assess whether a project will potentially affect threatened or endangered species.
