Office of Environmental Services
Mission The Office of Environmental Services (OES) achieves its goals and objectives through the dedicated work of staff who monitor and implement environmental laws, rules and regulations through ODOT's environmental, design, construction and maintenance programs in support of the department's Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) while encouraging best practices and pro-actively working toward consensus among transportation interests. Responsibilities/Services Environmental Policy
The Environmental Policy staff coordinate environmental processes all ODOT staff must undertake to achieve a safe, efficient and environmentally compliant intermodal transportation system through the following programs and processes: documentation for NEPA, training courses for ODOT personnel and consultants, and noise and air quality regulation.
Cultural Resources The OES Cultural Resource section is composed of two sub-sections: Archaeology and History/Architecture. Our primary
responsibilities are to efficiently and effectively assist in the timely delivery of projects that comprise ODOT's Transportation Improvement Program. In addition, our responsibilities include monitoring the application of State and Federal laws in the evaluation of the impacts of transportation projects on Ohio's cultural resources. "Cultural Resources" include prehistoric and historic archaeological sites, historic bridges, and historic buildings, sites and districts.
Eco/Permits The Eco/Permits section staff is responsible for managing ODOT’s ecological resources and waterway permits and handling
natural resource mitigation on ODOT projects. Transportation projects that impact rivers, streams and/or wetlands require a permit or combination of permits in accordance with state and federal laws and regulations. The staff also manages the ODOT Mitigation Inventory, which provides information on all of ODOT’s natural resource mitigation projects
Environmental Site Assessment The Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Unit has various responsibilities during the environmental process and for the operation and management of ODOT facilities for product waste and tank management. These responsibilities include assessment of NEPA transportation projects, product and waste management, and the tank management program for above ground and underground storage tanks containing petroleum.

The Design Resources section is divided into two subsections: the Foundations and Walls section, and the Roadway and Geohazards section. The Foundations and Walls Section is responsible for oversight of AASHTO LRFD design of structures foundations, foundations related items in the ODOT Bridge Design Manual, and Geotechnical involvement in specifications committees. The Roadway and Geohazards Section is responsible for all subgrade and earthwork construction (cuts, fills, etc.) and is active in cataloguing Geohazards and other Geologic and Geotechnical features, employing Global Positioning, Geodetics, and GIS.
Field Exploration
The Field Exploration section consists of Geotechnical Drilling Crews and Geologists, under the supervision of Assistant Office Administrator Kirk Beach. The drilling crews explore the subsurface of proposed and existing ODOT roads and projects. They also install and monitor slope inclinometers in several of Ohio's geologically volatile areas.
Soils Laboratory
The Soils Laboratory consists of Geotechnical laboratory technicians, under the supervision of a Laboratory Manager Geologist. The laboratory technicians test the samples collected by ODOT's Geotechnical Drilling Crews according to the Specifications for Subsurface Explorations.

Office of Hydraulic Engineering
Mission Our mission is to provide cost effective and environmentally sound solutions to surface and subsurface roadway drainage that maintains public safety by using innovative methods and materials and fostering working relationships with all our customers. Responsibilities/Services The Office of Hydraulic Engineering has been given the responsibility of the oversight of all aspects of highway drainage. This includes all bridges, prefabricated cross-drains, storm sewers, open water carriers (ditches), pavement drainage systems, sanitary sewers, water works, erosion & sediment control items, and sub-surface pavement drainage (underdrains). In addition, the office develops and maintains the Location & Design Manual, Volume 2 - Drainage Design. This manual is the primary source of information for personnel involved in drainage design for Ohio DOT. It is intended to provide uniform procedures for implementing drainage design decisions and assure quality and continuity in drainage of highways in Ohio. The office is active in research activities and members of the section sit on various TRB, NCHRP, AASHTO and ASTM committees.

Office of Maintenance Administration Mission Our mission is to facilitate the maintenance of a safe, efficient, accessible highway system that fosters economic growth and personal travel. To be a second to none in snow and ice control, maintenance of traffic and issuance of special hauling permits for the benefit of the general public, business and political advocacy groups, as well as our internal customers. Responsibilities/Services Adopt-A-Highway Program
Volunteer groups adopt a two mile section or an interchange along a State Route, United States Route or Interstate. Groups who sign up with the program adopt for two years. We ask that they pick up a minimum of four times each year. Participants in Adopt-A-Highway should be volunteers and not paid to pick up litter. Groups can partner with others in adopting, but may not pay another group to pick up litter. The Department of Transportation will provide safety training, trash bags, disposable safety vests and two signs to be used at the beginning of the two mile section. The only cost to each group is their time
Hauling Permits
The goal of the section is to safeguard the State system of roadways and roadway structures and contribute to the safe movement of highway traffic through the review of applications and, when appropriate, the issuance of special hauling permits for vehicles/loads that exceed the statutory maximum legal weights and dimensions.
Gateway Landscaping
ODOT is sowing the seeds of pride in communities around the state, through the Gateway Landscaping Program. This program, funded by Federal Transportation Enhancement Funds, has set aside funds for highway landscaping in Ohio communities. The program provides aesthetically appealing corridors leading into Ohio's cities and villages.
Snow & Ice
The Snow and Ice Program begins with our county operations. The County Manager takes steps to adequately plan and prepare for the approaching winter season. This plan includes equipment readiness, truck routing, call-out procedures, supplemental drivers, emergency equipment rental, training, and material inventory control. The County Manager coordinates this preseason plan with his or her District Highway Administrator (HMA). The HMA is responsible for integrating the preseason plans of all the Counties in his or her District to ensure the efficiency of the District's overall snow and ice control operations.

For the Aggregate Section the staff tests soil for silicon dioxide and minimum resistivity.
New Products The Division of Construction Management is assigned the responsibility and authority to evaluate new product requests introduced to the Department. New products that have a determined need to the Department will follow a standardized procedure from initiation through potential specification development. All requests for new product evaluations will be initiated through the Office of Materials Management, New Products Engineer.
Structural Steel, Welding & Metals
The Structural, Welding and Metals Section is responsible for quality assurance acceptance of structural steel bridge members that are supplied by our pre-qualified structural steel fabricators (Supplement 1078).
