Abstract Details

2014, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
An environmental consultant is responsible for understanding both the scientific and the regulatory aspects of every project, and ensuring that the client is in compliance with the law. For transportation projects, this involves finding a balance between the transportation needs of the public and the protection of valuable environmental assets, which can both be considered shared resources. This paper describes the relevant laws and regulations, permitting processes, field methods and reporting associated with Ohio Department of Transportation projects completed during a six-month internship at a private consulting firm in Columbus, Ohio. Three case studies are used to illustrate the application of various environmental protocols.
