One of the many roads to employment with the Bureau of Public Roads was to hire on as a summer temp. Scott Rustay took this route following his freshman year at Boise State. Here is the first part of his recollections of five summers spent with the Idaho Division of the Bureau of Public Roads as a temporary civil engineering technician.
During the late 1960's, writes Glen Bedell, Federal agencies were beginning to discover the environment. He sent in this story about something that happened prior to the 1969 enactment of NEPA, and about how one of his “best early mentors” saved the agency— and the environment—from the construction of a giant tunnel.

Hollow bar soil nails (HBSNs) have been used in the United States in earth retention systems for over 10 years. HBSNs are commonly used in place of solid bar soil nails (SBSNs) when the solid bar installation would require temporary casing of the hole. A state-of-the-practice document was prepared by FHWA in 2006 to identify (a) the various peculia
