Abstract:The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) was selected by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) to determine the feasibility of maximizing carbon sequestration within state
highway rights‐of‐way (ROW). Golder Associates Inc. was retained by NMDOT to conduct Phase 2 of this
project. Primary objectives are to: 1) determine the effectiveness of selected management practices in
increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in ROWs, and 2) develop a scientifically valid protocol for measuring
net change in SOC within ROWs and present it to an appropriate carbon exchange for approval and use
in marketing carbon credits.
