Abstract:Wildlife accommodations are features designed and implemented into a transportation facility to moderate the effects of the infrastructure on wildlife and their habitat. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) recognized there is not a defined procedure for addressing wildlife accommodations within their project development process. To date, wildlife accommodations have been addressed on a case by case basis using an informal process that lacked definition and consistency and often resulted in last minute design changes, increased costs, and project delays. The report develops a formal Wildlife Accommodation Process (WAP). The WAP identifies the need for wildlife accommodations early in project development and then recommends wildlife accommodations as part of a new activity (Activity 707/109 for consultant designed projects – Wildlife Accommodations Recommendations Memo) in MDT’s design process. The Design Team works through an iterative evaluation to determine the wildlife accommodations that will be carried forward into design. A new decision report, the Wildlife Accommodations Decision Report (WADR), documents the accommodations moving forward into design, with decisions summarized in the Scope of Work and other milestone documents which are part of MDT’s design process.
