2004 DIRECTORY OF TRANSPORTATION AGENCY AND FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICIALS           Transportation Research Board Committee on Environmental Analysis in Transportation FEBRUARY 2004         Preface     This directory is a compilation of information furnished by each of the transportation agencies cited herein.  It is an update of previous editions and includes information on the Federal Highway Administration headquarters office environmental staff. Due to continuous evolution of staff at DOT’s it is likely that parts of this document were out of date before it was completed. Specifically, Oregon is undergoing reorganization.   The objective for this is to be a working directory for those in the environmental field.  In preparing the directory, it was assumed that the environmental "Official" of a listed transportation agency is the individual in the central office of that agency with primary National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) responsibilities.  Most often, this person has full-time involvement in environmental matters.   A listing of environmental specialists and other environmental staff has been included with each state's entry, where appropriate and available.  Only persons other than the Official have been listed as "Specialists", even though the Official may have expertise in one or more disciplines.  In some cases, the transportation agency has a working arrangement with another agency for certain environmental studies.  Therefore, if a particular specialist is not listed for a given state, the Official listed should be considered the contact person for such matters.   This directory has been prepared by the ADC10 (formerly A1F02) Committee. Special thanks are due to Missy Kane for her help in preparing the document.   This directory is also available on the Web through the TRB Environmental Web page maintained by The Center for Transportation and the Environment.    Instead of trying to fit specialists into standard or similar categories we’ve left their titles as they exist in that state. If there are corrections or additions please contact ccasper@wilbursmith.com .   Thank you,                                                                           Craig Casper 2004 Editor   ALABAMA   Agency:                                  Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT)   Office with Primary NEPA Responsibility:           Design Bureau                                                 Environmental Technical Section   http://www.dot.state.al.us/Bureau/Design/environmental/environmental.htm   Official:                                   Ms. Alfedo Acoff                                                 Environmental Coordinator   Address:                                Alabama Department of Transportation                                                 Design Bureau, Room T-205                                                 1409 Coliseum Blvd                                                 Montgomery, Alabama 36130-3050   Phone Number:                     (334) 242-6143                     FAX:         (334) 353-6545 Specialists:                            (all at the above address)     Environmental Coordinator ...Alfedo Acoff (242-6143)                                                                                                       acoffa@dot.state.al.us   Assistant Environmental Coordinator . ..William Garnett (242-6152)                                                                                                 garnettw@dot.state.al.us   Assistant Environmental Coordinator / Chief Biologist .John Shill (242-6132)        shillj@dot.state.al.us   Assistant Environmental Coordinator ..Corey Clifton (242-6147)                                                                                                      cliftonc@dot.state.al.us               Administrative Assistant ..Jean Davis (242-6176)                                                                                                  Davisl@dot.state.al.us   Administrative Assistant.. .Jill Nolin (242-6738)                                                                                                         nolinj@dot.state.al.us   Senior Environmental Planner/ Writer ..Colyn Moatts (242-6835)                                                                                                    moattsc@dot.state.al.us                 Public Meetings / Socio-Economics / Land Use ...Garcia Long (242-6529)                                                                                                 Longg@dot.state.al.us   Environmental Planning Specialist ..Marie Kyser (242-6148)                                                                                                      kyserm@dot.state.al.us   Senior Biology / Wetlands / Endangered Species /   Field Plans .Tony Shaddix (242-6145)                                                                                                    shaddixt@dot.state.al.us   HAZMAT / Water Quality ..
