  • Controlling Expansive Soil Destructiveness by Neep Vertical
    4R ~ransportation Research Record 1032 Controlling Expansive Soil Destructiveness by Fol_Jr His:rhw~v~ neep Vertical Geomembn~nP-~ on - - - '"-'- - --.,1 - '\IALCOLM L. STEINBERG ABSTRACT Expansive soils are a worldwide problem. In the United States damages caused by expansive soils probably exceeded $10 billion in 19B4. One-half of these damages involved highways, streets, and roads. Studies and research have been conducted by international, national, state, and educational institutions. The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation has used rela­ tively impervious fabrics (geomembranes) placed vertically along the pavement edges through the zone of moisture activity to minimize the destructiveness of expansive soils. These vertical geomembranes have been placed in sections of four highways in Sctn Anlonlo, Texas, varying from 1/4 to 2 mi. Te!'!ting proce­ dures involved measuring the smoothness of the riding surface and the cracking of the pavement surface, installing moisture sensors, and determining mainte­ nance requirements. Two of the earlier projects had records of 4 and 5 years without significant surface cracking, which is an indication that the use of the geomemhrane barrier contributed to a better riding surface and less mainte­ nance. All four tests indicate that the fabric can be placed in a variety of ways. Conclusions to date offer guarded optimism that the deep vertical geo­ membrane barrier can reduce the destructiveness of expansive soils on pavement. Expansive soils are a worldwide problem and the sub­ INTERSTATE 410 ject of international conferences and studies.

  • GHG Permit Draft Final Cultural Report for Lon C Hill Power Station
    18 June 2014 Alfred Dumaual US Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 Air Permits Section (6PD-R) 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 1200 Dallas, TX 75202-2733 RE: Request for Concurrence – Finding of No Effect to Archaeological and Historic Resources Lon C. Hill Power Station Project Nueces County, Texas Mr. Dumaual: Lon C. Hill, LP (Lon C. Hill) is requesting a review of the enclosed project information for the Lon C. Hill Power Station Project in Nueces County, Texas. Lon C. Hill is seeking concurrence from the Texas Historical Commission (THC)/State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the United States (US) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the construction and operation of the power station will not affect historic properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or that meet the criteria for the NRHP in accordance with Section 106 guidance. The proposed project is subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review for greenhouse gases by the EPA; and, therefore, is subject to regulation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The proposed project is expected to be subject to New Source Review (NSR) and PSD review for nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter, but not for sulfur dioxide. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is responsible for issuance of the NSR permit and PSD review of National Ambient Air Quality Standards criteria pollutants. Lon C. Hill proposes to construct a 2x2x1 combined cycle power plant. It will consist of 2 natural gas-fired combustion turbines, 2 heat recovery steam generators, and 1 steam turbine.

Abstract The foremost objective of this project is to demonstrate the importance of the ports in the State of Texas to the economy of the State and the Nation. Traditionally, the economic value of the state's ports has focused upon the economic impact to the region or a small sector of the state. Seldom has the full interior regions of the state been considered in the economic value of the ports. Moreover, the assessment will provide information including data, analyses and findings that may be used by TxDOT in developing a statewide port planning assistance program.

  • Interstate Methodology and Data Everquote Analyzed Interstate
    Interstate Methodology and Data EverQuote analyzed interstate fatalities using raw data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Fatality Analysis Report System from the last six years (2010–2015) and found fatality rates based on the highway lengths. We also compared that to data from EverQuote’s safe-driving app, EverDrive. That data represents over 6 million trips and 80 million miles of driving. Phone use is measured by a driver’s phone motion while driving. While it’s difficult to say for sure what impacts these crashes, there are some commonalities between the most lethal interstates, including high traffic volume, risky driving habits and a lack of distracted driving legislation. Distracted driving fatalities increased 8.8% in 2015 and distraction is believed to be responsible for 10% of all fatal crashes. For the first six months of 2016, traffic fatalities were also up 10.4% compared to the first half of last year. EverDrive data shows that US drivers are distracted by their phones on 31% of all drives: ● 11% of drives have a distraction of one minute or longer while driving in a moving vehicle ● 29% of distractions occur at speeds over 56 mph The average number of times per trip that drivers use their phones nationwide is 1.1. Drivers are, on average, driving .4 miles distracted every 11 miles. You can find that information in our “Confused State of Distracted Driving Report” and Infographic Florida: Three of the most dangerous interstate highways run through the state of Florida (I-4, I-95, I-10). Our EverDrive data found that Florida drivers use their phone on average 1.4 phone uses per trip and the state ranks 2nd worst nationally for phone use while driving.
