(02/21/09) A.D. Marble & Company was a member of team that won the FHWA Exemplary Ecosystem Initiatives Award
A.D. Marble & Company (ADM) was a member of the MD 30 Relocated Hampstead Bypass project team that won the FHWA Exemplary Ecosystem Initiatives award for its effort to protect the federally threatened bog turtle and its habitat. The Maryland State Highway Administration initiated this study to design a 4.5-mile bypass on Carroll County's congested MD Route 30 around the town of Hampstead. Once bog turtles were discovered in the area planned for the bypass, a team of biologists, engineers and planners convened to find opportunities to protect the species. The bypass was moved around the habitat and a bridge incorporated to span a stream that could be used by traveling turtles. In addition, over 200 acres of bog turtle habitat and surrounding areas were permanently protected as part of this project.
A.D. Marble & Company prepared environmental technical studies, bog turtle population studies and NEPA documentation for this project. ADM’s, Jessica Klinefelter was also the Environmental Manager (at SHA) for this project and prepared the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). She also assisted with the Biological Assessment addressing the federally threatened bog turtle populations near the project area as part of Section 7 Consultation under the Endangered Species Act.
