Material
sources are used for many of ADOT’s highway construction
projects. For any given project, the contractor supplies the
materials source, by using either an ADOT licensed source
(supplied by ADOT) or a contractor-furnished source. Whether
the material sources are ADOT licensed sources or contractor-furnished,
they require environmental clearance prior to use.
The
Environmental Planning Group oversees the preparation
of environmental documents for all material sources. These
documents insure that all relevant environmental factors are
appropriately addressed and mitigated.
For ADOT licensed material sources, the primary document includes
the Material Source Environmental Determination. For
contractor-furnished material sources, the primary document
includes the Material Source Environmental Analysis
Application (see photo to the left).
Guidance for these documents are available for environmental
practitioners and contractors through the links in the right-hand
column of this web page. Since the level of documentation
differs between the ADOT licensed and contractor-furnished
material sources, there are separate links for each material
source type.
