Abstract:

The study was intended to provide a data base of environmental considerations relating to the use of end-on construction for building elevated highways in coastal wetlands. Efforts to quantify general envrionmental changes occurring in the study area using aerial photography proceeded according to the preconstruction data collection plan of the original research proposal. Preliminary analysis revealed salinity to be the most influential environmental factor in the vicinity of the LaBranch Wetlands. Improved monitoring procedures were determined necessary to statistically quantify environmental changes resulting from saltwater influence. During an extended period of construction delays, activities unrelated to highway construction have altered the entire ecosystem of the research study area. Until the end-on section of the I-310 roadway is completed, no final environmental impacts can be evaluated.
