Accession Number: 01477585
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Naturally occurring hazardous materials (NOHMs) are easily overlooked in standard environmental assessments and geologic investigations for transportation projects. The Oregon Department of Transportation partnered with the state’s Department of Geology and Mineral Industries to identify the NOHMs of greatest concern, delineate the likely occurrences, and establish how to detect them, to protect the health and safety of agency personnel, construction workers, and the traveling public. The project compiled the NOHM-GIS Information Layer (NGIL), a spatial data map that can be used to devise policies and procedures for dealing with NOHMs.
