Abstract:Wisconsin has constructed many environmental mitigation projects in conjunction with transportation projects that have been implemented according
to the National Environmental Policy Act. Other mitigation projects have been constructed pursuant to discussions and negotiations with the
Wisconsin DNR. These projects offset or replace a certain environmental function(s) lost as a result of construction of the transportation project.
Examples include storm water management facilities, stream restoration projects, construction of sound walls, replacement of parklands and wildlife
crossing structures.
In order for the environmental mitigation projects to continue to provide long term functionality intended when they were first constructed, they must
be properly maintained, and when necessary, rehabilitated or reconstructed. These environmental mitigation projects may be considered as assets
similar to other transportation features. Wisconsin DOT (WisDOT) has identified the need for a better inventory management of the selected features
in the overall scheme of project development and ongoing maintenance.
