| 摘要： | A project of the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority, this highway was more of a hot topic than most roadway projects, due to the fact that the majority of the project is located in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The aquifer serves as a drinking water source for millions of people in the surrounding communities. Moreover, the geographical formations that make up the aquifer serve as a habitat to several rare and threatened species. Thus, the highway was constructed with the environment as a top priority from inception to project completion. This theme was established early in design and resulted in countless hours of collaboration among local agencies and shareholders through the establishment of an interagency Technical Work Group (TWG). This group included the Mobility Authority, the Texas DOT (TxDOT), the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department, Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer Conservation District, and Travis and Hays counties. The TWG established the foundation of the project's best management practices (BMP). When McCarthy Building Companies began construction, they worked with the clear understanding of the environmental responsibilities and the Mobility Authority's desire for a high-quality product. |
