SPR 781 Optimizing SCDOT’s Permitting, Mitigation, and Compliance Systems to Improve Project Delivery

The overarching goal of Phase III is to optimize South Carolina Department of Transportation's (SCDOT’s) permitting, mitigation, and compliance systems by leveraging emerging technologies. The objectives are to (1) maintain the existing applications and enhance them through feedback from SCDOT users and consultants, (2) migrate the geographic information system (GIS) applications to Experience Builder for improved functionality, (3) update the e-permitting app to align with upcoming regulatory changes, (4) develop standardized templates for permit drawings, and (5) explore emerging technologies to check the permit drawings and provide feedback on errors and required changes, predict wetland impacts for future projects, and autogenerate National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) applications classified as Categorial Exclusions.
