The Environmental Quarterly, Volume 5, Issue 1 (Winter 2009)
I am very pleased to greet you as the new Editor in Chief for Environmental Quarterly (EQ). I stepped into my new post as Team Leader of the Environment Team in late December. As Editor in Chief of EQ, I promise to continue bringing you the same tradition of quality articles and valuable information that Don Cote started when he initiated the EQ in 2005. Sincerely, Lamar Smith

This issue of Environmental Quarterly is the last for which I will be Editor in Chief. I am retiring from the FHWA this fall. It was a pleasure serving you and bringing you the latest in Environmental news from FHWA through this publication. The Environmental Quarterly will continue to be published on the same schedule as before, only under new leadership. As always, if you have comments about a story or story ideas, please let us know. Sincerely, Don Cot

the facets of barrier design included in the manual; and
-
a CD-Rom, which contains an extensive noise barrier design
photographic library and an electronic copy of the noise barrier design manual.
Access the
CD-ROM online.
The package addresses both
acoustical and non-acoustical considerations associated with highway noise
barrier design. The package provides guidance on how to design a highway noise
barrier, which fits its surroundings and performs its intended acoustical and
structural functions, with a reasonable life-cycle cost. The package also
provides a state-of-the-art reference of common concepts, designs, materials,
and installation techniques for professional highway engineers and acoustical
designers and planners, as well as non-professional community members.

Guidance Manual for Monitoring
Highway Runoff Water Quality
This document provides guidance for selecting and using stormwater runoff

useful to highway designers and environmental professionals by presenting the
available and appropriate impact prediction and mitigation tools for use during
highway project planning and development activities. This manual is a
