SedNet 2015-Peck -Stern
This document summarizes an abstract accepted for an oral platform presentation at the EU 9th International SedNet Conference in Krakow, Poland from September 23-26, 2015. The presentation aims to link urban sediment management to social benefits and sustainability in order to make sediment issues more relevant to policymakers. It discusses how sediment challenges can take a long time to address and regulate, which is out of sync with political election cycles. The document argues that connecting sediment management to broader environmental issues visible to decision makers, like economic development and resilience, can help drive more action. It provides the U.S. Great Lakes Legacy Act as an example of overcoming barriers to sediment action through public-private partnerships and cost sharing.

Serco Incentives Round Table
1) Serco commissioned a study into the impacts and effectiveness of household recycling incentive schemes. The study evaluated non-Defra funded incentive schemes and found varying results, with recycling rates increasing by up to 32% for some areas but decreasing by 15% for others.
2) The study found it was difficult to directly attribute changes in recycling performance and landfill diversion to the incentive schemes alone. Most residents claimed they were intrinsically motivated to recycle without financial incentives.
3) Medium-cost incentive schemes between £1-2 per household provided the best cost-benefit, but high-cost schemes over £2 were unlikely to be cost-effective. The report concluded incentive schemes should be used alongside, not instead of

Deanna’s Input for Question 2
As the legislative assistant to the Chief Administrator for Riverside County some of the key functions include monitoring pending legislation, conducting research, drafting legislation, giving advice and counsel, and making recommendations.
Identify the policy issues;
Riverside County has experienced negative propaganda on our water quality. However, Riverside County provides an annual drinking water quality report to ensure full transparency, clear communication, and information on how the county’s water met or surpassed all state and federal drinking water quality standards each year. Although Riverside County meets the quality standards each year, California’s booming population growth is impacting Riverside County drinking water quality sustainability. The following is a brief for a new water management policy to help sustain water quality in the County, which includes the development of a new drinking water treatment plant. The proposed drinking water treatment plant will also reduce the region’s dependence on imported water and eliminate as many contaminants in drinking water for public health. In addition, the county could potentially sell water to neighboring counties and the agricultural sector to help increase local revenue to the county.
Identify the stakeholders (public and private) and concerns
· Government agencies and agents – Local and state elected officials (e.g., mayors, county supervisors, etc.); local municipal water board; Western Municipal Water District; the State Water Resources Control Board, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Water Resources, Water Management Group, Public Health Officials, Water Utility Company in Riverside County, State water quality control board, and local land management and recreation agencies. Potential concerns may include the following: jurisdiction disputes; competing and conflicting existing public policies and regulations; differing political opinions regarding solutions to water crises; access to needed capital to develop and run proposed drinking water treatment plants; and unanticipated future operating expenses.
· Private sector – water study groups; local business and landowners; energy companies; and agricultural land groups; and legal counsel and experts. Potential concerns may include the following: land-right disputes; competing energy industries (traditional vs solar) and loss of revenue; operational constraints due to potential new regulations; and fear of increased operating costs due to added taxes to help offset costs of new drinking water treatment plant.
· Non-profit sector – environmental organizations, preservation and advocacy groups. Potential concerns may include the following: safety and water quality, and the capacity to support a three percent growth every year through 2045. Management of hazardous waste and environmental pollutants and impact on climate change due to large amounts of electrica.

1. Use an eight-step policy development framework to structure the process, including defining the problem, identifying alternatives, and selecting criteria.
2. Identify key stakeholders - such as government agencies, private sector groups, non-profits, and citizens - and ensure their needs for input, feedback, and transparent communication are met.
3. Allocate necessary resources like funding, staffing, research, communication tools, and training.
4. Apply different leadership theories - moral, transactional, and transformational - to guide the effort through ethical compliance,
Natural Resource Planning
Natural resource planning is becoming increasingly important for utilities. In addition to social pressures for more sustainable business practices, it is an essential element of obtaining licenses for electric, hydroelectric, and transmission operations.
Proactive natural resource planning helps address a number of challenges facing utilities today including: increased environmental pressures, licensing requirements, relationships with external stakeholders, costs, and public goodwill. In this document, ScottMadden presents a brief overview of creating a natural resource plan using a structured process, standardized tools, defined decision rights, specific criteria, and analysis so companies can stay ahead of the curve.

Quality vs. Access case study Complete a full paper outline incl.docx
This document provides an outline for analyzing a case study on the tension between quality of care and access to care in the healthcare system. The outline includes sections for introduction, stakeholders, overview, analysis, recommendations, and conclusion. The background information provided discusses how the Affordable Care Act raised Medicaid reimbursement levels and is now tying quality measurements to reimbursement levels. This could result in some patient groups facing reduced access to care. The analysis section is meant to address how the payment system could be modified to reward quality without negatively impacting access for low-income or less healthy patients.
Best-in-Class in Methodologies for Putting a Monetary Value on Social Impact
The document discusses methods for quantifying and valuing social impacts. It provides examples of calculating a social return on investment (SROI) ratio to compare the social value created by an initiative or investment to the value of the resources invested. An SROI ratio of $10 for every $1 invested in community schools indicates that investment generates $10 of social value. The document also discusses challenges in quantifying impacts and attribution, but provides rules for reasonable measurement of formerly "unmeasurable" impacts through indicators and considering attribution issues.
PES 2013 - Social License to Operate: How to Get It, and How to Keep It
The document discusses social license to operate, which refers to a community's acceptance of a company's project or presence. It examines what social license is, provides examples of companies that have successfully obtained social license, and discusses principles for earning social license such as communication, engagement, responsibility and ensuring community benefits.
Successful watershed management
This document discusses strategies for achieving large-scale watershed management. It outlines the challenges of reaching nutrient reduction goals across large areas. The authors propose a theory of change involving defining scalable watershed units and developing necessary elements like human capital, social capital, watershed policies, and financing.

It summarizes pilot projects in Morris, MN, Grand Rapids, MN, and Winona, MN, outlining the top concerns, opportunities, and actions identified by each community. It also provides examples of follow-up actions and outcomes in the communities.
Earthworks Sham "Study": Blackout in the Gas Patch
A piece of propaganda issued by the far-left, virulent anti-drilling Earthworks titled "Blackout in the Gas Patch: How Pennsylvania Residents are Left in the Dark on Health and Enforcement". The "study" supposedly offers evidence of regulatory mismanagement at the state's Dept. of Environmental Protection with respect to the miracle of Marcellus Shale drilling. The report is DOA because it's not independent and misrepresents the data. One more anti-drilling tirade by a fossil fuel-hating organization.
Smarter Development Through Better Decisions: The Electricity Governance Init...
The document discusses the Electricity Governance Initiative, which aims to improve decision-making processes in the electricity sector through more transparent and participatory governance. It does this by assessing key aspects of policy processes, regulatory processes, and consideration of environmental and social issues. The initiative seeks to foster dialogue between governments, regulators, utilities and civil society organizations to help identify best practices and reinforce democratic legitimacy.

Planning a successful microgrid
New York’s Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) initiative seeks to fundamentally transform the way electricity is distributed, generated and used across the State. Utilities are being challenged to adapt their business models and distribution infrastructure to meet these new goals. REV also presents an opportunity for utilities to provide their customers with a broader range of services that lead to a more diverse, innovative and resilient energy infrastructure.
A key focus of REV is the transition to local distributed energy platforms including microgrids, which can be operated in conjunction with the grid or independently in emergencies. TRC recentlypresented an educational webinar to help New York’s utilities and other decision makers take action to plan and implement successful microgrids. This presentation covers:
• Basic concepts for developing a microgrid
• Differences from operating within the conventional grid
• Preliminary engineering steps required
• Options for generation sources
The webinar recording is available at http://blog.trcsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2015-01-22-10.02-Planning-a-Successful-Microgrid.mp4

Euec paper c5 1 emissions testing for dsi evaluation trc
This document discusses the use of advanced stack testing technologies to evaluate dry sorbent injection (DSI) for controlling emissions. Real-time, multi-location data is needed to accurately determine optimal sorbents, injection rates, and locations. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and mercury continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) provide the necessary time-resolved and speciated data. Upstream/downstream testing using these instrumental methods allows calculation of true removal efficiencies and detection of plant and DSI variations. The data is used to compare sorbents and determine optimal injection conditions on a normalized stoichiometric ratio basis.

This document summarizes a case study of installing an impervious cap at a former manufactured gas plant site along a river in Ann Arbor, Michigan to control residual non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) migration. The cap was constructed using AquaBlok, a composite particle material that can be coated with treatment materials. At the site, layers were placed including a gas transmission layer, low permeability AquaBlok layer, and cover layers to trap and isolate NAPL migrating from contaminated sediments. Monitoring showed the cap was effective at providing an isolation barrier and reducing contaminant releases from the river sediments.

Are You Prepared to Close your Ash Ponds?
This document discusses strategies for closing ash ponds at coal-fired power plants. Key drivers for pond closure include upcoming regulations from the EPA, plant retirements, and liability management. The EPA is expected to finalize regulations for coal ash by December 2014 under Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. These rules will likely require ponds to stop accepting waste within 5 years and be fully closed within 7 years. Developing a closure strategy requires considering when to close, future land use, and whether to close in-place or remove the ash. Closure methods like in-place closure or removal to a landfill each have pros and cons regarding cost, environmental impact, and public perception. Proper planning is needed to address

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

- 2. The Balancing Act What Landowners Are Saying… "I don't trust a company that can't divulge information” (landowner, Michigan) (AP Photo/The Staunton News Leader) “There are no benefits and a lot of risk.” (landowner, New York) “We’re in this for one thing —freedom. The landowners should have the freedom to choose whether or not they want the pipeline on their property.” (landowner, Ohio) 2
- 3. The Balancing Act REGULATORS Pipelines & Customers Regulatory certainty A level playing field Better federal/state coordination Recognition of the way projects develop Landowners & NGOs More information More transparency Local control Regional planning National/global energy strategy 3
- 4. The Balancing Act FERC Certificate Policy Statement • FERC determines whether the applicant has made efforts to eliminate or minimize any adverse effects the project might have on the applicant’s existing customers, existing pipelines in the market and their captive customers, or landowners and communities affected by construction. • FERC balances the evidence of public benefits to be achieved against the residual adverse effects. This is essentially an economic test. NEPA • In evaluating alternatives, lead agencies may need to make difficult judgments involving balancing one environmental value against another. (CEQ’s Forty Most Asked Questions) Sierra Club • Increasing reliance on natural gas displaces the market for clean energy and harms human health and the environment in places where production occurs. (Beyond Natural Gas Campaign) Landowner • There are no benefits and a lot of risk Balance is Matter of Perspective 4
- 5. The Balancing Act Earning Trust, Demonstrating Commitment • “Social License to Operate”—what does this mean? • Recognize that the playing field has changed – shift from individual to regional impacts – multiple venues to raise issues • Focus on outreach and education – proactive, responsive, transparent – actively engage NGOs, community leaders – emphasize stakeholder participation in the process – acknowledge limitations to processes • Commit to community benefits – clear intent, tangible benefit – it’s not all about money
