  1. Environment CTC 440

  2. Objectives • Understand how highways can affect the environment • Be familiar with the environmental procedures manual

  3. NYSDOT EPM • Environmental Procedures Manual • https://www.nysdot.gov/portal/page/portal/divisions/engineering/environmental-analysis/manuals-and-guidance/epm • Air Quality • Cultural Resources • Noise • Water/Ecology • Hazardous Waste • GIS

  4. Air Quality • Emissions from vehicles affect air quality • Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Particulates (PM) are of major concern • Others—Hydrocarbons (HC), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and air toxics • CAL3QHC software can model air quality for different traffic configurations

  5. Emissions Factors • Tables can be found here: • https://www.nysdot.gov/portal/page/portal/divisions/engineering/environmental-analysis/mobil6
