  • Air Quality Profile of Curtis Bay, Brooklyn and Hawkins Point, Maryland
    Air Quality Profile Of Curtis Bay, Brooklyn and Hawkins Point, Maryland © 2011, Curtis W. Wright, All Rights Reserved March 2012 Revised June 2012 About the Environmental Integrity Project The Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to the enforcement of the nation’s anti-pollution laws and to the prevention of political interference with those laws. EIP provides objective analysis of how the failure to enforce or implement environmental laws increases pollution and harms public health. We also help local communities obtain the protection of environmental laws. Acknowledgement Environmental Integrity Project Research Analyst Robbie Orvis and Attorneys Abel Russ and Leah Kelly contributed to this report. Data Limitations EIP’s analysis of toxic emissions and potential health impacts is based on publicly available data retrieved and analyzed from EPA, state agencies and private companies. Occasionally, government data may contain errors, either because information is inaccurately reported by the regulated entities or incorrectly transcribed by government agencies. In addition, this report is based on data retrieved between August 2011 and February 2012, and subsequent data retrievals may differ slightly as some companies and agencies correct prior reports. EIP is committed to ensuring that the data we present are as accurate as possible. We will correct any errors that are verifiable. June 2012 Revision EIP revised this report in June of 2012 in order to exclude fine particulate matter (PM2.5) data recorded at the FMC Fairfield monitor in Curtis Bay during the year 2008. We did this because we were informed by the Maryland Department of the Environment that this monitor was removed in August of 2008, meaning that the average PM2.5 concentration for that year did not take into account the fall months, during which PM2.5 concentrations tend to be lower than in the summer.

Home to the Baltimore-Washington Metro Area, Maryland sees millions of people on the road every day. While Maryland has a population of nearly 6 million on its own, the metro region, which directly impacts highway congestion, has a population topping 8 million. Both the metro area’s major biotechnology and defense contractor industries and tourists visiting the area for its rich history keep the small area’s many major roadways full: Interstate 70 starts at a Baltimore park and ride and extends all the way to Cove Fort, Utah. Interstate 81 runs through Hagerstown. Interstate 83 has its southern terminus in Baltimore, a route for travelers from there to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.​ Interstate 95 is the east coast’s major highway, serving every major metropolitan area from Maine to Florida. It is the nation’s longest north-south interstate. ​ Interstate 97: Known as an intrastate interstate, I-97 runs entirely within the state of Maryland and connects Baltimore and Annapolis. It connects Annapolis with Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI). Interstate 195 : Also known as Metropolitan Boulevard, Interstate 195 is just 4.71 miles long.

Project Management Director Agenda B Alternative Delivery Methods B Louisiana’s Design-Build Projects B Design-Build Challenges & Successes B DB – Resources and Opportunities for LA B Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) B Public-Private Partnerships (P3) B Future of Alternative Delivery in Louisiana B Questions? Traditional & Alternative Delivery Methods B Design-Bid-Build Method (DBB) ► Under the Design-Bid-Build method, a designer develops plans for the entire facility, and the Owner requests Bids from contractors. Everyone knows his role in this method, but the design for the entire project has to be complete before any construction starts. B Design-Build Method (DB) ► In the Design-Build method, the Owner contracts with one team to design and build the facility. This facilitates communication among team members, but the agency loses a level of control and commits all its monetary resources to one entity. Because the design and construction units work together as a team, construction proceeds in one area while another section is still being designed. B Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Method ► This method allows the general contractor to participate as an adviser during the design process. This improves communication between the two parties because the general contractor provides input on the availability and cost of suggested materials and equipment, and also collaborates on other and possibly cheaper alternatives

  • The Interstate Highway System Turns 60
    The Interstate Highway System turns 60: Challenges to Its Ability to Continue to Save Lives, Time and Money JUNE 27, 2016 202-466-6706 tripnet.org Founded in 1971, TRIP ® of Washington, DC, is a nonprofit organization that researches, evaluates and distributes economic and technical data on surface transportation issues. TRIP is sponsored by insurance companies, equipment manufacturers, distributors and suppliers; businesses involved in highway and transit engineering and construction; labor unions; and organizations concerned with efficient and safe surface transportation. Executive Summary Sixty years ago the nation embarked on its greatest public works project, the construction of the Interstate Highway System. President Dwight D. Eisenhower provided strong support for the building of an Interstate Highway System that would improve traffic safety, reduce travel times and improve the nation’s economic productivity. Serving as the most critical transportation link in the nation’s economy, the Interstate Highway System has significantly improved the lives of U.S. residents and visitors. Throughout the nation, the Interstate system allows for high levels of mobility by greatly reducing travel times and providing a significantly higher level of traffic safety than other routes. But 60 years after President Eisenhower articulated a vision for the nation’s transportation system, the U. S. again faces a challenge in modernizing its aging and increasingly congested Interstate highway system. If Americans are to continue to enjoy their current level of personal and commercial mobility on Interstate highways and bridges, the nation will need to make a commitment to identifying a long-term funding source to support a well-maintained Interstate Highway System able to meet the nation’s need for additional mobility.
