Title: West Virginia Division of Highways’ Roadmap to a Watershed Approach for Maximizing Ecological Lift through Compensatory Mitigation Activities
Accession Number: 01495380
Record Type: Monograph
Blurb URL: Abstract: The Transportation Research Board’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a report that describe the result of a pilot test of the Integrated Ecological Framework (IEF) as part of the planning process related to the Coalfields Expressway and King Coal Highway, two highways currently planned and under construction in southern West Virginia. The IEF was developed in SHRP 2 projects C06A (Integration of Conservation, Highway Planning, and Environmental Permitting Using an Outcome-Based Ecosystem Approach) and C06B (Integration of Conservation, Highway Planning, and Environmental Permitting through Development of an Outcome-Based Ecosystem-Scale Approach and Corresponding Credit System). The report is divided into five chapters: 1) Background, Timeline of Mitigation Activities, and Stakeholders; 2) Applying Regionally Derived Tools for Route Selection; 3) Methodology for Estimating Impacts and Prioritizing Mitigation Site Selection; 4) An Alternative Approach to Watershed-Based Mitigation in West Virginia; and 5) Lessons Learned to Promote Future Watershed-Based Mitigation.
