This document summarizes a study on the cost-effectiveness of various stormwater management practices for reducing nitrogen, phosphorus, and total suspended solids in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The study found that pet waste programs, sewer repair, and illicit discharge detection were among the most cost-effective practices for nitrogen and phosphorus reduction. Urban stream restoration and dry pond retrofitting were among the most cost-effective for reducing total suspended solids. Applying the study's findings to the City of Richmond, scenarios that incorporated more approved practices and city constraints had significantly lower estimated costs for meeting pollution reduction targets.

CCW Conference: Cost effective practices for clean water
The document summarizes cost effective practices for clean water based on a study of the James River Basin in Virginia. It finds that removing illicit discharges from storm sewer systems, such as sewer repairs and eliminating cross connections, is among the most cost effective ways to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment levels. Urban stream restoration is also highly cost effective for sediment removal. Initial estimates found addressing stormwater pollution in Richmond could cost $305 million using older practices, but improving identification and removal of illicit discharges could lower the cost to $84-100 million. Proper identification and removal of illicit discharges is an important yet overlooked method for nutrient management that governments should receive credit for.

This document summarizes SJRA's Groundwater Reduction Plan program in Montgomery County. It discusses that Montgomery County faced a water supply problem due to groundwater regulations. SJRA proposed a conjunctive use solution pumping surface water from Lake Conroe, which 85 local entities agreed to. Phase 1 of the program included a 30 mgd water treatment plant, 52 mile transmission system, and modifications to deliver surface water to six participants and reduce groundwater use. The $490 million project is the largest civil works project in the county. It highlights construction communication strategies, customer review committees, transparency reporting, and using competitive proposals to engage local vendors for the project.

City Speak XII - Water We Drink: LT Ma of Water Supplies Department
Where does the water we drink come from? Is there enough for everyone? Where will it come from?
Hong Kong's water supply comes from two sources: the rainfall we collect in our reservoirs (20-30%) and water we buy from the Mainland (70-80%). The current agreement for water from the Dongjiang, a tributary of the Pearl River, will expire in 2015. With demand for water growing sharply throughout the Pearl River Delta and the supply of water compromised by pollution and climate change, Hong Kong's future access to clean water is far from certain.
In our drive to become a sustainable city, should Hong Kong become self-sufficient? Should we increase the size of our reservoirs? Follow Singapore and recycle our waste water? Build plants to desalinate seawater? What other possible methods are there? Who's going to pay?
CitySpeak invites you to join Hong Kong officials, academics and planners in this discussion about our water issues.
The keynote speaker is Mr. LT Ma, Director of the Water Supplies Department, who will set the scene and outline the current situation in Hong Kong. The discussion will be moderated by Mr. Mike Kilburn, Environmental Programme Manager, Civic Exchange.

13 May 2014 - Birmingham, UK
Costs of reducing nitrogen loadings hansen
This document analyzes the costs of reducing nitrogen loadings through wetland restoration. It finds that restoring wetlands could remove large amounts of nitrogen at relatively low costs. Specifically, restoring 842,000 acres of wetlands could remove 424 tons of nitrogen per year at a cost of less than $0.15 per pound of nitrogen removed. The cost of nitrogen removal through wetland restoration is competitive with the costs of on-field nitrogen reduction practices. Therefore, wetland restoration appears to be an effective and cost-competitive policy tool for reducing nitrogen loadings.
MMSD Perspective - Susan Anthony
The document discusses MMSD's perspective on proposed new phosphorus standards and implementation rules under NR 217. It supports an adaptive watershed-based approach that prioritizes reducing nonpoint sources before requiring expensive end-of-pipe treatment. This "adaptive management option" would allow point sources to meet phosphorus limits over multiple permit terms by monitoring water quality and facilitating nonpoint source reductions through practices like agricultural BMPs. It argues this approach best uses funds and incentives to solve phosphorus problems.

This document summarizes the progress and preliminary results of a research project studying water quality and flows in the Lower Suwannee/Santa Fe River Basin in Florida. The research is using a hydrological model to evaluate conservation measures, surveying agricultural landowners about adoption of practices, surveying recreational users of springs to value water quality improvements, and developing educational outreach programs. Preliminary analysis of the recreational user survey found most participated in swimming and other activities, spent on average $99 on visits, and higher entrance fees would significantly decrease visit frequency.Presentation 2015 EN PRK 1055
This project consolidates sewage disposal activities in Kujang and Anbyon Cities over 3 years from 2013-2016. It aims to strengthen urban resilience by improving food security, health, and hygiene through rehabilitating water networks, sanitation facilities, and developing decentralized sewage systems. During the inception phase, additional issues of stormwater management and flood prevention were identified. Activities included rehabilitating water intakes, constructing latrines, septic tanks, and DEWATS systems for wastewater treatment. Sludge is dried and may be used for agriculture with proper handling. Capacity building workshops covered technical topics like DEWATS design and water quality testing.

Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Dc milestone
Washington D.C. has made progress in reducing water pollution but still has work to do to meet long-term goals. It exceeded targets for urban tree planting, impervious surface reduction, and stormwater infiltration practices, but failed to meet milestones for urban stream restoration. Additionally, pollution reductions from urban runoff need to accelerate to achieve nitrogen and phosphorus reduction targets. D.C. leaders are called on to strengthen commitments to clean water plans and pollution reduction efforts.

Md milestone
Maryland has exceeded its 2013 milestone goals for five out of seven key pollution-reduction practices examined in the report. However, the organizations believe Maryland should set more ambitious goals for practices like forest buffers and animal waste management systems to achieve needed reductions. While progress has been made, increased implementation is still needed for many practices like urban forest buffers and animal waste management to reach 2017 and 2025 goals.
De milestones
Delaware achieved its 2013 goals for four of the seven pollution-reduction practices evaluated, including cover crops and urban tree planting. However, it failed to meet goals for animal waste management, grass buffers, and septic connections. While progress has been made through funding, partnerships, and regulations, Delaware will need to accelerate efforts like wetland restoration and increase funding through initiatives like the Governor's clean water plan to achieve its long-term pollution reduction goals by 2025.
Pa milestone
The document evaluates Pennsylvania's progress toward meeting pollution reduction goals established in the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint. It finds that Pennsylvania achieved its 2013 goals for four out of eight practices but is not on track to meet longer-term 2017 and 2025 goals, particularly for establishing forested stream buffers and conservation plans. Continued declines in practices like nutrient management and conservation tillage are concerning given their importance for reducing agricultural runoff. Accelerated implementation of practices across agriculture, urban/suburban areas, and wastewater treatment will be needed to improve water quality in Pennsylvania and the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

CCW Conference: Protecting the Susquehanna River
The Susquehanna River is the lifeblood of local communities throughout central Pennsylvania. Residents rely on the river for drinking water, recreation, and economic opportunities. It’s no surprise that there has been an outpouring of concern in recent years as anglers and biologists have seen declines in fish populations, especially in young smallmouth bass
Middleton
The document discusses stakeholder engagement for the development of Phase II Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs) in the Piedmont region of Virginia. It notes the region includes urban, suburban and rural areas across three counties draining into three major tributaries of the James River. Focus groups were held with local governments, permit holders, economic development groups, and others. Key feedback included a desire for accurate local data, flexibility to craft local responses, and concern over costs. Moving forward, strong local partnerships and scaled planning will be important, protecting healthy local waters while providing tools and guidance for Phase II WIP development and implementation.

Wva milestone
West Virginia's progress toward clean water goals set by the Chesapeake Bay Blueprint is mixed. The state achieved milestones in 2013 for forest buffers and upgrading wastewater treatment plants but fell behind on goals for agricultural practices like nutrient management and stream fencing. While investments and improvements are benefiting local waterways, the Chesapeake Bay watershed remains polluted by excess nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment from urban and farm runoff. West Virginia must bolster efforts to implement agricultural practices and address growing pollution from urban areas to stay on track for its 2017 and 2025 clean water targets.

Similar to Stormwater cost effectiveness 140604
Robert Moylan masccc 2013
This document discusses sustainability in public works and presents case studies from Worcester, MA. It defines sustainability as balancing environmental, community, and economic factors. Case studies show how Worcester improved sustainability through its pay-as-you-throw waste program, large-scale composting, and complete streets program. However, some "green" initiatives may not meet the triple bottom line. Strict regulations like stormwater permits are not always sustainable if the resulting costs are too high without clear benefits.
Choose clean water 060414
The document discusses a Clean Water Optimization Tool being developed by the Center for Watershed Protection to help municipalities develop cost-effective strategies for meeting water quality goals like the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load.

This case study examines wastewater management planning challenges in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The town relies entirely on septic systems but some areas have poor soils and high groundwater, causing failing systems. This contributed to contaminated stormwater runoff closing shellfish beds. The state environmental agency recommended sewers but townspeople opposed new infrastructure costs. Competing plans were developed and surveys found public opposition. A TMDL was issued to address pollution but the town did not commit to a solution. The state continued to support sewers while the town delayed decisions, seeking alternative options to address the public health and environmental problems.
Cost-Benefit Analysis of Nutrient Management for Falls Lake
The document outlines a nutrient management strategy for Falls Lake in North Carolina. It aims to decrease nitrogen levels by 40% and phosphorus by 77% to improve water quality. The strategy focuses on new development, existing development, agriculture, and point sources as sources of nutrient pollution. A cost-benefit analysis found that while the strategy's costs exceeded its benefits, economic analyses of other nutrient management plans have shown benefits outweighing costs. Future efforts should detail the methodology and timeframe more clearly.
Off-Site BMP Implementation Program
The overall goal of this project was to develop an implementation framework for an offsite BMP program
to maximize the environmental and economic effectiveness with which the City of Wichita meets its
NPDES stormwater permitting requirements to ultimately improve water quality in the Little Ark and
Arkansas Rivers. This program aims to integrate watershed stakholders across sociopolitical bounds and
provide a sustainable funding mechanism to implement and maintain water quality practices in the rural
landscape, a critical need as watershed managers struggle to meet water quality targets (e.g., TMDLs).
Based on dialogue between stakeholders representing the watershed’s agricultural (represented by the
Little Ark Watershed Restoration And Protection Strategy program, or WRAPS) and urban (represented by
the City of Wichita’s Stormwater Advisory Board and City officials) communities and the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), which administers TMDLs and water quality permits, the
program works to optimize the placement of BMPs within the watershed for maximum water quality
benefit of the integrated system. Rural management practices tend to be less costly, thereby enabling
greater pollutant load reduction per dollar spent on BMPs in rural versus urban areas. For this reason, net
costs to urban developments participating in the offsite program should be significantly less than if
traditional urban water quality control practices were installed and maintained. A program framework was
developed in which a “sediment credit” fee is paid annually by urban developments participating in the
program to finance implementation and maintenance of offsite BMPs as facilitated through the Little
Arkansas WRAPS program. Adoption of this offsite program is anticipated to lead to greater reductions in
sediment (and other pollutant) loads leaving the watershed than could be achieved through conventional
implementation of BMPs within urban bounds to meet MS4 permit requirements. The program is currently
in its first year of implementation.

Reducing Long-Term Rate Impacts Through Water Conservation, and Lessons Learn...Texas Living Waters Project
Tucson's water conservation program has helped reduce per capita water use by 31% since 1989 through various initiatives like rebates, education, and ordinances. Without conservation, Tucson would need 40 million gallons more water per day, requiring over $350 million in additional infrastructure costs. Conservation has also lowered customer water bills by an estimated 11.7% compared to non-conserving usage levels. Tucson is now exploring the benefits of rainwater harvesting through various incentive programs and studies to understand its impacts on water usage, costs avoided, and community values.Money from Something

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
