    It is the policy of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that 
all highways funded in whole or in part under title 23, United States 
Code, shall be located, designed, constructed and operated according to 
standards that will minimize erosion and sediment damage to the highway 
and adjacent properties and abate pollution of surface and ground water 
resources. Guidance for the development of standards used to minimize 
erosion and sediment damage is referenced in Sec. 650.211 of this part.
