The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has been collecting 3D digital data on their pavement network since 2014. This data contains a variety of information derived from 3d laser scans of the pavement. While ODOT has been using the data to meet federal HPMS reporting requirements of pavement condition, the agency wished to leverage this wealt

In 2010, New Hampshire adopted new rules for the permitting of stream crossings. One aspect of the new rules was that new culverts should be geomorphically sized and preferably have natural materials located at the stream crossing stream bed to better accommodate the passage of aquatic and other organisms. In culverts that are not open bottom, this
