Field Services and Mitigation

This unit is responsible for natural resource identification and impact assessment for MaineDOT transportation projects. Responsibilities include investigating wetlands, waterbodies, terrestrial and aquatic organisms, rare flora and fauna, and coastal habitats. This group is also involved in studies and work groups aimed at reducing animal and vehicle collisions on Maine's highways and with ensuring fish passage through highway and bridge structures.

The Unit also coordinates with state and federal resource agencies to ensure compliance with regulations and laws administered by the Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
