The document discusses the EPA's recommendation that the SLRWD use a Limited Alternative Action rather than implement the sewer expansion plan proposed by Mick, Rowland & Associates. The EPA found that septic systems were effectively treating waste when maintained properly and that a centralized sewer system was not needed and could harm the environment and burden homeowners with high costs. Studies by various organizations supported the EPA's conclusion that the lakes were already improving in water quality.
New efforts in planning for large scale ecosystem restoration in the Sacramen...Cory Copeland
The Delta Stewardship Council (Council) is responsible for promoting the coequal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem that forms the upper portion of the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary. The Council is responsible for writing an enforceable Delta Plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh. After a multi-year development process that included extensive public engagement and scientific synthesis, the Council, in 2020, authorized initiation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental review of its proposed amendment to the Delta Plan focused on ecosystem protection, restoration, and enhancement. The amendment consists of six new and revised ecosystem performance measures, an updated narrative which includes four new and revised policies and 14 recommendations, and seven technical and regulatory appendices. The amendment is novel in that it focuses on landscape-scale process-based restoration, acknowledges the many social benefits from ecosystem restoration, utilizes advanced technical climate change analyses informed by best available science, and employs more rigorous tracking of progress in meeting Delta Plan objectives. The amendment embraces a portfolio of approaches to adaptively manage ecosystems in highly altered and changing landscapes, and strives to reestablish ecological processes in natural communities at a sufficient scale (and with connectivity, complexity, and diversity) to be resilient to land conversion and climate change. This digital poster will describe the collaborative science-driven process the Council used in developing the amendment, the draft currently under environmental review, and lessons for resource managers in other systems facing the challenge of planning ecosystem recovery amidst ongoing anthropogenic stressors and a rapidly changing climate.

Environmental Issues in Real Estate Transactions Polsinelli PC
Presentation covers basics of environmental law applicable to real estate transactions including key statutes, important liability defenses or "safe harbors", role of due diligence, and how much diligence is required, contractual provision and resources to address environmental issues and keep the deal alive.
The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact was signed into federal law with great fanfare in 2008. However, states must do more to realize the Compact’s potential to better manage Great Lakes waters in and outside of the basin through comprehensive water conservation and efficiency programs, improved data sharing and more comprehensive permitting.
Submission to the CNSC regarding the geological risks of the proposed deep geological repository planned to be placed along the shores of Lake Huron in Ontario. Karst moraines and geological risks, seismic risks etc. (Project cancelled)
a. Recreation benefits are more important than for air pollution.
b. Large economies of Scale in treating sewerage and other wastes create the possibility for large centralized treatment, while for air pollution on site treatment is standard approach.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
