1. Definitions of sustainability (20 points) a. There are many definitions of sustainability. Please define sustainability from the civil engineering systems context below. It is not necessary to note the organization that you are citing should you choose to use a formal definition. i. Environmental, economic, and social conditions in place in order to raise and maintain quality of life without degrading the natural resources or the ability for and resources for future generations. b. Please define sustainable development below. i. Development made to meet needs and standards of food, water, necessities, and natural resources without affecting the quality of the environment or depleting natural resources for future development. c. Why is sustainable development important for civil and environmental engineering? i. Sustainable development practices are a balance of the triple bottom line where engineers are able to meet social, environmental, and economic needs as best as possible without severely depleting or negatively affecting either of the three categories. 2. The City of Atlanta is planning to implement congestion pricing in Midtown and Downtown core. City and state officials want to know how this will affect 4 different forms of capital (also referred to as elements of sustainability in Labi, 2014). Please list them below, and a something you would measure to assess project performance for that element. (20 points) a. Human capital i. Compare quality of life/natural capital models from before and after implementation to compare quality of life compared and observe whether the triaxial model shape has changed in order to favor human, resource, or environmental impact b. Natural capital i. CO2 emissions before and after implementation c. Economic capital i. Compare the amount of amount bus or metro passes bought before and after implementation 2
d. Built capital i. Needed amount of repairs on a monthly basis before and after the plan There will be tolling stations on the Downtown Connector (Interstate 75 and 85). To complete the project, might the city need to complete a federally mandated report to assess elements of sustainability related to the project? If so, what is the report called? e. Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) What law mandates the report? f. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 3
