CMap Description
Growing coastal development leads to an increasing need for land & air transportation and shipping, storage, & warehousing facilities that contribute to landscape changes (including impervious surfaces, devegetation, and shoreline armoring for construction of roads and buildings), which can alter rates of pollutant runoff. Cars, trucks, airplanes, and trains also produce atmospheric emissions, including greenhouse gases. Land-based transportation sectors benefit from shoreline protection, as well as indirectly from other ecosystem services that improve the well-being of sectors, such as tourism & recreation, which drive coastal development. Transportation policies and landuse management through planning, permitting, and zoning can influence numbers, distribution, and technology airports, roads, parking lots, and other transportation infrastructure. Landuse restoration, such as hydroseeding along roads, can reduce runoff from impervious surfaces.Citations

Management Options
Management Option | Description | Sources | Database Topics |
---|---|---|---|
Landuse Management: Temporary Road Planning and Construction | This management option involves minimizing sediment discharges from forestry and other temporary roads through their planning and construction. Since these roads are seasonal or temporary, less time and effort is normally invested in construction. Road construction has four main phases, clearing, leveling, construction and surfacing. Construction timing should be targeted to avoid sensitive spawning periods and during low stream flow at water passes. Road surface drainage shaping requires proper moisture content, surfacing, and grading. Drainage should be installed to reduce the volume and velocity of runoff water passing over sensitive areas. Methods for road surface drainage include: broad-based dip construction, pole culverts, ditch relief culverts, road outsloping and grading, ditch and turnout construction. Roadway runoff should be prevented from flowing directly into watercourses by using turnouts, wing ditches and dips. Brush barriers, silt fences, riprap and filter strips can be used to trap sediment in runoff water. Where roads cross streams it is important to guard against erosion, as such erosion may necessitate road repairs. | Environmental Protection Agency Office of Water. 1993.

Transportation Policy: Dust Control Application | This action is taken to control dust from unpaved roads and other surfaces, which is generated by traffic and/or wind. Some dust control products (palliatives) for application include: water, hydroscopic palliatives, adhesive, petroleum emulsion, polymer emulsion, clay additive, and bituminous. There are specific considerations for application of each, including seasons and when to use which. For example, hygroscopic palliatives (control dust by absorbing water from the air) shall not be used in arid and semi-arid environments. Calcium chloride and magnesium chloride shall not be used in locations where the daily summertime relative humidity averages below 30%. | Natural Resources Conservation Service. 2011.

Transportation Policy: Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards | The purpose of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAF�) standards is to reduce fuel consumption by increasing the fuel economy of cars and light trucks. NHTSA sets fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks sold in the US while EPA calculates the average fuel economy for each manufacturer. Since the standard only dictates the average fuel economy, manufacturers can sell vehicles with higher or lower fuel economy than the standard. | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Air Pollution Control, 62-204 Florida Administrative Code (1996). | 62-204.100 Purpose and Scope.
(1) This chapter establishes maximum allowable levels of pollutants in the ambient air, or ambient air quality standards, necessary to protect human health and public welfare. This chapter also establishes maximum allowable increases in ambient concentrations for subject pollutants to prevent significant deterioration of air quality in areas where ambient air quality standards are being met. It further specifies approved air quality monitoring and modeling methods.
(2) In addition, this chapter designates all areas of the state as attainment, nonattainment, or unclassifiable with respect to each pollutant for which ambient air quality standards have been adopted; further designates certain attainment and unclassifiable areas of the state as air quality maintenance areas for particular pollutants; classifies all areas of the state as Class I, Class II, or Class III for determining which set of prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) increments apply; and designates all attainment and unclassifiable areas of the state as one or more PSD areas for determining which pollutant-specific PSD baseline dates apply. This chapter also sets forth procedures for redesignating and reclassifying areas as above.
(3) The Department of Environmental Protection adopts this chapter to identify the Florida State Implementation Plan (SIP) required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to 40 C.F.R. Part 51; to set forth the public notice and hearing requirements that the Department will adhere to for making SIP revisions; and to set forth the definitions, criteria, and procedures that the Department will use to review a federal agency�s general conformity determination, made pursuant to 40 C.F.R. Part 51, Subpart W; and to adopt by reference an interagency memorandum of agreement that the Department will comply with to review any transportation conformity determination, made pursuant to 40 C.F.R. Part 51, Subpart T. The provisions to 40 C.F.R. 51.853 require that a federal agency make a general conformity determination for any federal agency action in a nonattainment or maintenance area, to ensure that such action is consistent with the SIP and that such federal conformity determination be reviewed by the affected state. The provisions of 40 C.F.R. 51.394 require that a transportation conformity determination be made for the adoption, acceptance, approval, or support of certain transportation plans, transportation improvement programs, and transportation projects in nonattainment and maintenance areas for transportation-related criteria pollutants to ensure that such actions are consistent with the SIP.
(4) Finally, this chapter adopts and incorporates by reference federal air pollution control regulations which are referenced in whole or in part throughout the Department�s air pollution control rules. Application to Coral Reefs:By reducing emmissions to air, particularly carbon dioxide, the pH of ocean waters will not be reduced and that is a direct benefit to coral reefs, since a reduction in pH is believed to be detrimental to corals. Legislative Actions:The Chapter designates all areas of the state as attainment, nonattainment, or unclassified with respect to each pollutant for which ambient air quality standards have benn adopted. Comments:This chapter establishes maximum allowable levels of pollutants in the ambient air, or ambient air quality standards, necessary to protect human health and public welfare. This chapter also establishes maximum allowable increases in ambient concentrations for subject pollutants to prevent significant deterioration of air quality in areas where ambient air quality standards are being met. It further specifies approved air quality monitoring and modeling methods. |

325.201, F.S., and in order to provide the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles with the necessary rules, standards,
and criteria to administer the Florida Motor Vehicle Inspection Program.
(2) The Legislature has directed that in order to implement the Motor Vehicle Inspection Program, the Department of
Environmental Protection will set the standards and criteria listed below.
(a) Designation of program area (Section 325.204, F.S.).
(b) Emissions testing and inspection procedures (Section 325.206, F.S.).
(c) Inspection pass/fail criteria (Section 325.206, F.S.).
(d) Test equipment performance specifications (Sections 325.206, .212, and .213, F.S.).
(e) Definition of low emission adjustment (Section 325.209, F.S.).
(f) Inspection personnel training criteria (Section 325.213(1)(d), F.S.).
(3) The Department has set the vehicle in-use emission standards at levels that are achievable with proper operation and
maintenance of the various model year vehicles, if they have not been tampered with, and which will result in a significant reduction
in ozone-causing air pollutant emissions from automobiles and light duty trucks. It is the Department�s intent that eligibility for
emission control system performance warranty repairs of these vehicles be protected by reference to 40 CFR 85.2201 (Subpart W) �
Emission Control System Performance Warranty Short Tests.
(4) This chapter, and the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles rules it references, are intended as an integral part
of the Department�s program to achieve and maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, and
particulate matter; and to control nuisance exhaust. Application to Coral Reefs:Regulation and stanards for air emissions will contribute to lower greenhouse gasses and assist in combating ocean acidification. Legislative Actions: Comments: |
