This report's purpose is two-fold. First, it documents the elements
likely required to implement a carbon sequestration process
tailored to state Departments of Transportation (DOTs). Findings
are based on the challenges, key lessons, and preliminary results
from New Mexico DOT's initial five months of implementing the
Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Carbon Sequestration Pilot
Program (CSPP). Although communication of the progress and outcomes
should continue through the life-cycle of the pilot program, it is
expected that the body of knowledge formed from NMDOT's early
experience can help other state DOTs evaluate the viability of
carbon sequestration practices in lands they control. The CSPP is
also considered a demonstration project. As such, this report
offers preliminary recommendations and considerations that can
assist FHWA and other federal agencies in making well-informed
decisions related to carbon sequestration in highway ROW during
discussions surrounding the reauthorization of the nation's next
transportation bill. Since the NMDOT effort is ground-breaking
nationally, and perhaps globally, it is expected that NMDOT's
experience can provide insights useful in determining whether
efforts to accomplish a similar program at a broader scale are
practical.
