The document discusses efforts to restore the Buffalo River in Buffalo, New York from a heavily polluted state to one that is fishable and swimmable. It describes how collaboration between various stakeholders, including the Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper, government agencies, and others, led to millions of dollars invested in cleaning sediment, improving habitat, removing sewers, and other remediation projects. As a result, attitudes towards the river shifted from viewing it as a "repulsive holding basin" to appreciating its value for aesthetics, recreation, and community quality of life.
Wisconsin is the only Great Lakes state with statewide numeric water quality standards for phosphorus. In the Fox-Wolf basin, where phosphorus pollution is a major issue, there are projects underway to meet those standards through the innovative strategies of water quality trading and Wisconsin’s “adaptive management option” This workshop will illustrate each strategy through case studies and a discussion of their similarities and differences. This presentation was given by Victoria Pebbles, Program Director, Great Lakes Commission.

The People’s Water Board is a coalition of labor, social justice, and environmental organizations based in Detroit. They work together to confront: 1) devastating lack of access to water faced by tens of thousands of low-income people who have had their water shut off; 2) water pollution due to aging wastewater infrastructure; and 3) the effort of corporate interests to gain control of Detroit’s water system. Listen to this panel discussion to learn about their struggles and victories.
The document provides an overview of the MVC pattern and how it is implemented in Symfony. It discusses how Symfony separates code into models, views, and controllers and layers these components. It also describes common Symfony structures like modules, actions, and templates as well as tools like parameter holders, constants, and autoloading that are frequently used.
This workshop highlights successful large scale, on-the-ground restoration efforts in several priority areas of the Great Lakes. Strategies will be shared for planning, financing, and articulating results from restoration projects in order to bring multiple societal benefits. Participants will brainstorm the next level of restoration impacts we would like to see from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
Social media and online advocacy tactics are receiving a lot of buzz, and for good reason. But, it is crucial in our work to restore the Great Lakes that we move beyond the buzz to identify the right tactics to meet campaign goals. Come find out about best practices for online mobilizing, learn about useful online tools, identify online tactics that will support your work, and see how technology is being used by conference participants like you to magnify the impact of the 7th Annual Great Lakes Restoration Conference.
Presentation by Jennifer Janssen, Senior Online Advocacy and Outreach Coordinator at the National Wildlife Federation.
This panel will address whether threats from climate change, mercury emissions and other effects of fossil fuel dependence justify development of offshore wind in select areas of the Great Lakes. What state and federal regulatory schemes currently exist and are they adequate to protect the lakes? How are regulators, developers and environmental groups addressing wind development and environmental protection?
Innovative public-private partnerships are delivering substantial conservation and restoration successes in the Detroit River and western Lake Erie. This workshop will share lessons from: soft shoreline engineering; transformation of an industrial brownfield into a Refuge Gateway; construction of a sturgeon spawning reef; and growth of an International Wildlife Refuge.
The document discusses E & E's commitment to restoring the Buffalo River watershed through multidisciplinary partnerships and projects. It outlines E & E's 30-year history of public involvement in Great Lakes restoration and opportunities to collaborate with local stakeholders. Examples of past and ongoing partnership projects are provided, including habitat restoration, invasive species control, and remediation and design work to support delisting of beneficial use impairments in the river. Maintaining diverse partnerships is emphasized as key to making continuous progress on complex ecosystem issues over the long term.
The document describes several unique and historically significant churches from around the world. It discusses churches built in unusual architectural styles and locations, including ones constructed into rock faces, over rivers, and taking unconventional shapes. Several churches mentioned took decades to complete and feature immense sizes, intricate decorations, and architectural innovations for their time. The churches highlighted provide examples of religious structures that demonstrate remarkable engineering and artistic achievements.
To restore Lake Erie to full health, we must reduce the amount of stormwater runoff it absorbs. Fortunately, green infrastructure can provide relatively low-cost solutions that contribute to this restoration. This workshop explores green infrastructure policies, programs, and projects in the City of Cleveland, leading to more effective stormwater management.
The document summarizes dredging and remediation efforts on the Buffalo River through collaboration between the US Army Corps of Engineers, EPA, NYSDEC, Honeywell, and other stakeholders. Under the Great Lakes Legacy Act and Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, over 625,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment have been dredged from 2011-2012. Future dredging from 2013-2014 will target remaining risk-based contamination. Long term goals are to contain dredged materials, monitor remedy performance for 10 years, delist beneficial use impairments, and plan beneficial reuse of clean dredged materials for projects like habitat restoration in 5-7 years.
