Environmental Procedures Manual
Welcome to the Georgia Department of Transportation’s Environmental Procedures Manual. This manual will provide the project team (both environmentalists and design engineers) with adequate information so that projects can be developed in compliance with applicable federal and state environmental laws. Adherence to the procedures outlined in this manual will assist in developing uniform, complete and quality environmental documents.

Environmental analysis is a critical element of determining how a project should be developed – environmental impacts are factored into the decisions made. The environmental document also publicly discloses this decision-making process. The manual approaches project advancement through an interdisciplinary effort requiring the involvement of a full complement of team members. Collaboration and communication amongst all team members (environmental and design) are critical for the successful advancement of a project. This manual cannot replace project team interaction.
