Description
The revegetation of previously disturbed areas from highway construction activities is a critical component to overall site stormwater management strategy. Poor revegetation actions during and after construction can lead to difficulty in deactivating stormwater construction permits (SCPs). Excessive duration of open permits due to poor revegetation success can result in higher non-project costs for erosion control, revegetation rework and maintenance,...

Description
The advent of solar energy utilization in highway infrastructure around the country has been increasing in recent years. Right of Ways (ROWs) have several advantages for energy development such as the existing electrical infrastructure aligned with the major highways, a secured boundary, and easy maintenance access. To understand the potential impacts on driver safety, environmental resources, and maintenance operations, case studies are presented...

Description
Cost-effective strategies were developed and identified to CDOT Highway Maintenance Managers to reduce rest area operational costs while conserving finite natural resources. Initial cost analysis indicates that reduced operational costs can be realized by implementing water conservation practices (waterless urinals, water harvesting, irrigation, energy conservation and alternative energy practices, and re-use and recycling of solid waste and landscaping...

Description
Colorado Department of Transportation requires revegetation as part of road construction projects. The revegetation of previously disturbed areas from highway construction activities is a critical component to overall site storm water management strategy. Poor revegetation actions during and after construction can lead to difficulty in deactivating storm water construction permits (SCPs). CDOT's specifications for revegetation projects are discussed...
