MoDOT is required to comply with federal and state laws regarding environmental impacts caused by proposed or constructed transportation projects. MoDOT generally uses federal transportation funds for most major actions proposed for the transportation system. With the use of federal monies, MoDOT complies with federal environmental regulations including the following laws and executive orders: National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 23CFR771 "Environmental Impact and Related Procedures" 40CFR1500 et seq., CEQ Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA DOT Order 5610.1c, Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts 7USC4201 et seq., Farmland Protection Policy Act of 1981 16USC461 et. seq., Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Wild and Scenic Rivers Act Endangered Species Act Clean Water Act Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Safe Drinking Water Act Environmental Quality Improvement Act of 1970 Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 Noise Control Act of 1972 Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 Clean Air Act Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Executive Order (EO) 11514 Protection and Enhancement of Environmental Quality, as amended by EO 11991, dated May 24, 1977 EO 11593 Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment, dated May 13, 1971, implemented by DOT Order 5650.1 dated November 20, 1972 EO 11988 Floodplain Management, dated May 24, 1977, implemented by DOT Order 5650.2, dated April 23, 1979 EO 11990 Protection of Wetlands, dated May 24, 1977, implemented by DOT Order 5660.1A, dated August 24, 1978 EO 12898 Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, dated February 11, 1994, implemented by DOT Order dated February 3, 1997. Missouri has no state environmental protection law. However, enforcement of certain federal laws have been assumed by state agencies such as the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. MoDOT cooperates with other agencies, such as the Missouri Department of Conservation and the State Emergency Management Agency during project development activities. MoDOT's environmental procedures during the location and design phases of project development are detailed in the department's Policy, Procedure and Design Manual at Chapter 2-04.
