Evaluation Comments
“Exceeded my expectations and wish the course was set for two days to get into more detail.”
“Very great framework for identifying significant features (especially for the Section 106 process) and considering flexibility in design and knowing guidelines engineers use.”
“Context of roadways as they exist vs. spirit or intent of original design was helpful. Understanding aesthetic/engineering /cultural was important.”
“Covered more than I expected. Offered interesting and alternative suggestions to ‘dealing’ with historic roads.”
“I’ve taken several processed-focused trainings. This was more useful. Resource-specific is the way to go.”
Participants
Federal, state, and local managers and cultural resource and environmental consultants preparing compliance documents for federal DOT actions under Section 4(f), NEPA, and/or NHPA and working with state and local regulations.
