This action challenges violations of Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act ("Clean Water Act" or "CWA"), as well as the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ("NEPA"), in connection with Defendant United States Army Corps of Engineers' ("the Corps') September 30, 2013 decision to issue a permit for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States ("Section 404 permit") for the construction of a 1.86- mile segment of the Northern Beltline near Palmerdale, Alabama. When completed, the proposed 52-mile, six-lane Northern Beltline would be a new controlled-access highway between Interstate 459 in Bessemer, Alabama and Interstate 59 in Trussville, Alabama. 2. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires the Corps to issue permits only for those projects that represent the least damaging practicable alternative that will satisfy the project's purpose and need. In determining the least damaging practicable alternative, the Corps must evaluate a number of environmental and economic factors pursuant to CWA regulations and must look at the entire project. 3. The Section 404 permit issued for the Northern Beltline is an improper and illegal segmentation that prevents an objective look at the entire project's impacts and alternatives.

  • Governor Awards $4.1 Million to Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, June 10, 2021 Governor awards $4.1 million to install electric vehicle charging stations MONTGOMERY —Gov. Kay Ivey has awarded 18 grants to help bring Alabama motorists into the electric vehicle age. The grants totaling more than $4.1 million will help finance the installation of electric vehicle charging stations at many fueling stations near interstates and other major highways and corridors in central and north Alabama. Other types of businesses and public entities were also eligible for awards. “We have begun the journey of transforming vehicles operated by fossil fuels into those powered by electricity, and it’s important that motorists be able to charge their vehicles when traveling along the interstate and other major highways in Alabama” Gov. Ivey said. “Many of the vehicles manufactured right here in Alabama plants have already begun this transition, and it is exciting to come onboard with these projects to support these vehicles as they become more readily available and more Alabamians choose to drive them.” The grants will be used to fund up to 80 percent of the cost of the charging stations. Funds for the projects came from the Volkswagen Settlement Plan and the Alabama Legislature. The VW settlement arose from an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regarding VW’s violation of the federal Clean Air Act. Alabama was among states receiving settlement funds. The Interstate-20 corridor from the Alabama-Georgia border to Tuscaloosa was outlined in the Alabama Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan as the ideal site for charging stations. The plan, which outlines goals and priorities for establishing charging stations in Alabama, cited I-20 as a priority because of its link to Atlanta and because that area of Alabama, which includes the populous Jefferson County metro area, has the highest concentration of electric vehicles in the state.

  • Introduction
    Major Street Plan – Hoover, Alabama Introduction The following summarizes the development process of the major street plan element of the Comprehensive Plan prepared for the City of Hoover, Alabama. Both land use and the roadway system were analyzed in this study effort. The purposes of the transportation component are to guide development in the establishment of a planned roadway network, assess the effectiveness of the existing roadway system, considering the present land uses and transportation network, and to develop a major Street plan that will mitigate current and future roadway deficiencies, increase mobility, support the Comprehensive Plan, and create a safe and efficient roadway system for the future. Sources of information for the major street plan included the City of Hoover, the Alabama Department of Transportation, the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham, Atkins, the KPS Group, Inc. and office files and field reconnaissance efforts of Skipper Consulting, Inc. Background If a major street plan does not exist, streets become major by their use as determined by the traveling public to meet their immediate traffic needs. A major street plan proposes the development and use of streets that provides the greatest safety and long range economy. To ensure that transportation plan meets the desires of the City of Hoover it was determined that the transportation plan should meet the following criteria: • Meet the long range transportation need of the city; • Encourage and accommodate traffic on the interstate, arterials and collectors while discouraging traffic on local and neighborhood streets; • Provide access among all developed areas of Hoover; • Improve overall accessibility to employment, education, public facilities, and other major activity centers; Skipper Consulting, Inc.

  • Alabama Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan
    ALABAMA ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Background Volkswagen (VW) installed software in its 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter diesel engine vehicles that acted as an emissions testing “defeat device.” This resulted in the release of thousands of tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions in excess of regulated limits. Volkswagen agreed to spend over $14.7 billion to settle allegations of cheating emissions standards. Alabama’s share of the settlement is approximately $25 million. The allowable uses of these funds are defined in the settlement agreement approved by the courts and administered by the VW Environmental Mitigation Trust. Generally, Volkswagen Mitigation funds are to be used to replace or repower existing diesel vehicles, vessels, and equipment with less polluting vehicles or engines. Approximately $3,248,000 has been allocated in the Alabama Volkswagen Settlement Beneficiary Mitigation Plan (Alabama VW BMP) for Light-Duty Zero Emission Vehicle Supply Equipment (ZEVSE) infrastructure, which is the maximum amount that Alabama could utilize for this purpose under the settlement agreement. The ZEVSE fueling infrastructure funds can be used for Level 2 or DC fast charging equipment for plug-in electric vehicles (EV) or for hydrogen fuel cell dispensing equipment. Planning The Trust mandates that each state submit a Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust Beneficiary Mitigation Plan. The Trust further mandates that a public input process be used to develop the plan. Alabama has already submitted its plan, following a public input process, for the funds allocated to vehicle replacement and repowering. However, the Alabama plan includes a stakeholder process for developing a strategy for use of the ZEVSE fueling infrastructure funds.

  • Identifying, Anticipating, and Mitigating Freight
    IDENTIFYING, ANTICIPATING, AND MITIGATING FREIGHT BOTTLENECKS ON ALABAMA INTERSTATES by KENNETH MICHAEL ANDERSON DR. JAY LINDLY, COMMITTEE CHAIR DR. STEVEN JONES DR. JOE WEBER A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2011 ABSTRACT This project establishes a framework for the creation and maintenance of a statewide strategy for identifying, anticipating, and mitigating freight bottlenecks on interstate highways for the state of Alabama. It uses a methodology established and developed by Cambridge Systematics for identifying and quantifying bottlenecks. This research identified a total of nine freight bottlenecks on Alabama interstates using 2006 traffic data supplied by ALDOT. These include six bottlenecks, termed “capacity” bottlenecks, which are caused by an insufficient capacity in relation to demand (where the ratio of Average Annual Daily Traffic to the hourly capacity of the roadway in passenger cars per hour is greater than eight) on a basic section of roadway. The other three bottlenecks are “interchange” bottlenecks, which are similar to capacity bottlenecks except that they occur at interchanges involving multiple interstates. The six sections of roadway identified as capacity bottlenecks follow: Interstate 65 from Exit 252 to Exit 259B Interstate 65 from Exit 238 to Exit 246 Interstate 20/59 from Exit 123 to Exit 130 Interstate 65 from Exit 247 to Exit 250 Interstate 10 from 26A to Exit 27 Interstate 10 from Exit 15B to Exit 17A The three interchanges identified as bottlenecks follow: ii Interstate 459 at Interstate 65 Interstate 20/59 at Interstate 65 Interstate 20/59 diverge (into separate Interstate 20 and Interstate 59) A third type of bottleneck called a “roadway geometry” bottleneck involves congested roadways that have grades greater than 4.5% lengths exceeding one mile.

  • CHAPTER VII: Transportation
    CHAPTER VII: Transportation ROADWAY FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION According to the character of traffic service that they are intended to provide and the degree of land access that they allow, roadways are arranged into classes known as the process of roadway functional classification. All roadways are sorted within three main functional classifications: arterial, collector, and local roads which provide a balanced relationship between mobility and land access. Mobility is the ability to efficiently travel along the roadway, while land access is the ease of being able to connect to a particular tract of land. Arterials afford the top level of service at the maximum speed for the longest continuous distance with little or no access control. Collectors provide a medium level of service at a lesser speed for shorter distances by gathering traffic from local roads and linking them with arterials. Local roads consist of all other roads and primarily offer a high degree of access to land with little or no mobility. Roadway functional classification is linked directly with the roadway design speeds and roadway cross sections such as lane width, shoulder width, and other design characteristics. In addition, functional classification is different for urban and rural areas due to the land use intensity of those areas. Thus as land use changes occur due to growth, the functional classification of roadways must also change including its design parameters. Failure to maintain adequate roadway functional classifications leads to inefficient traffic service such as congestion. As the federally designated transportation planning agency for the transportation planning area, it is the Birmingham Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) responsibility to assist the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) with the identification and maintenance of the roadway functional classification within the Jefferson County and Shelby County planning area.
