Senate Bill Aims to Prevent Chemical
Contamination of Surface Water
IHE CHEMICAL
spill that
' recently occurred in West
Virginia and interrupted
water deliveries to approximately
300,000 of that
state's residents has led to the introduction
of federal legislation aimed at preventing
the recurrence of such events.
Although improved protection of surface
water enjoys broad support, questions
have arisen as to who should oversee
and fijnd the additional regulatory
efforts called for in the bill.
On January 9 it was discovered that
thousands of gallons of chemicals used in
coal processing had leaked from storage
facilities at a tank farm located along the
Elk River in Charleston, West Virginia.
The chemicals entered the waterway approximately
1.5 mi upstream of a public
water supply intake, forcing officials
to recommend that residents of a ninecounty
area in and around Charleston
not use their drinking water. Lasting for
more than a week, this situation caused
considerable concern about health effects
and spurred calls for regulatory
protections.
On January 27 Senator Joe Manchin
(D-West Virginia) introduced the
Chemical Safety and Drinking Water
Protection Act of 2014 (S. 1961), legislation
that aims to protect surface water
from contamination from chemical
storage facilities. The bill would revise
the Safe Drinking Water Act to establish
state programs for overseeing and
inspecting chemical storage facilities
that are deemed to pose a risk to public
water sources. Within one year of enactment
of the legislation, states would
have to set requirements for chemical
storage facilities covered by the new
programs. These requirements would
address such topics as "acceptable standards
of good design, construction, or
maintenance," along with leak detection,
spill and overfill control, inventory
control, inspections of facility integrity.
and life-cycle maintenance, according to
the legislation.
Additional requirements would pertain
to emergency response and communication
plans, employee training and
safety plans, and the financial responsibility
of the owners of chemical storage

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.

Toxic Waters
Clean Water Laws Are Neglected, at a Cost in Suffering
By CHARLES DUHIGG
Jennifer Hall-Massey knows not to drink the tap water in her home near Charleston, W.Va.
In fact, her entire family tries to avoid any contact with the water. Her youngest son has scabs on his arms, legs and chest where the bathwater — polluted with lead, nickel and other heavy metals — caused painful rashes. Many of his brother’s teeth were capped to replace enamel that was eaten away.
Neighbors apply special lotions after showering because their skin burns. Tests show that their tap water contains arsenic, barium, lead, manganese and other chemicals at concentrations federal regulators say could contribute to cancer and damage the kidneys and nervous system.
“How can we get digital cable and Internet in our homes, but not clean water?” said Mrs. Hall-Massey, a senior accountant at one of the state’s largest banks.
She and her husband, Charles, do not live in some remote corner of Appalachia. Charleston, the state capital, is less than 17 miles from her home.
“How is this still happening today?” she asked.
When Mrs. Hall-Massey and 264 neighbors sued nine nearby coal companies, accusing them of putting dangerous waste into local water supplies, their lawyer did not have to look far for evidence. As required by state law, some of the companies had disclosed in reports to regulators that they were pumping into the ground illegal concentrations of chemicals — the same pollutants that flowed from residents’ taps.
But state regulators never fined or punished those companies for breaking those pollution laws.
This pattern is not limited to West Virginia. Almost four decades ago, Congress passed the Clean Water Act to force polluters to disclose the toxins they dump into waterways and to give regulators the power to fine or jail offenders. States have passed pollution statutes of their own. But in recent years, violations of the Clean Water Act have risen steadily across the nation, an extensive review of water pollution records by The New York Times found.
In the last five years alone, chemical factories, manufacturing plants and other workplaces have violated water pollution laws more than half a million times. The violations range from failing to report emissions to dumping toxins at concentrations regulators say might contribute to cancer, birth defects and other illnesses.
However, the vast majority of those polluters have escaped punishment. State officials have repeatedly ignored obvious illegal dumping, and the Environmental Protection Agency, which can prosecute polluters when states fail to act, has often declined to intervene.
Because it is difficult to determine what causes diseases like cancer, it is impossible to know how many illnesses are the result of water pollution, or contaminants’ role in the health problems of specific individuals.
But concerns over these toxins are great enough that Congress and the E.P.A. regulat.
Food & Water Watch Letter to EPA Requesting the Agency Lie About Fracking Res...Marcellus Drilling News
A letter from a group of radical environmental organizations, including Food & Water Watch, the Sierra Club, and others, requesting that EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy lie about the science-based conclusions reach in last year's EPA report that said fracking does not contaminate water supplies. These groups want the EPA to reverse its language in the report in order to lie about fracking. Very sick.
Big changes have already hit the construction industry in California in the form of a new Industrial Storm Water General Permit, but even more changes are looming. The State Water Resources Control Board is working on a new permitting process for protecting “waters of the state.” Learn the latest on this important regulatory front and how it may impact your operations.
On June 21, 2016, United States District Judge Scott Skavdahl granted BakerHostetler’s petition for review of final agency action and declared the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) hydraulic fracturing rule unlawful. The court’s judgment sets aside BLM’s hydraulic fracturing rule.

The artist Georges Seurat is one of the worlds most fascinating art.docxSANSKAR20
The artist Georges Seurat is one of the world's most fascinating artists. His technique of pointillism was pivotal in inspiring future generations of painters to think about painting in both individualistic and non-conformist ways. This week's reading references many artists from different movements (i.e. Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci).
Conduct research on an artist from any movement that you find interesting. Choose one of their works. Analyze the image using the four visual cues from your reading: color, form, depth, and movement. Explain how the artist makes use of these four cues.
In your deconstruction of the image, also explain how the physiology of the eye helps you to see the four cues.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the immediate cause of World War I. But the events that led to the Great War go further back into the nineteenth century. As with the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, nationalism, imperialism, and militarism all played a part.
Analyze how the forces of nationalism, imperialism, and militarism irrevocably led to World War I. Pay particular attention to the rise of Pan-Slavism in Eastern Europe and the corresponding rise of nationalism in German-speaking states.

The artist Georges Seurat is one of the worlds most fascinating art.docxSANSKAR20
The artist Georges Seurat is one of the world's most fascinating artists. His technique of pointillism was pivotal in inspiring future generations of painters to think about painting in both individualistic and non-conformist ways. This week�s reading references many artists from different movements (i.e. Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci).
Conduct research on an artist from any movement that you find interesting. Choose one of their works. Analyze the image using the four visual cues from your reading: color, form, depth, and movement. Explain how the artist makes use of these four cues.
In your deconstruction of the image, also explain how the physiology of the eye helps you to see the four cues.
This paper should be 2-3 pages long. Be sure to cite any resources using proper APA notation.

th
Edition Guidelines: Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography is the full citation of a source followed by notes and commentary
about a source. The word “annotate” means “critical or explanatory notes” and the word “bibliography” means “a list of sources”. Annotations are not the same as abstracts. Abstracts
are purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly/ academic journal articles. Annotations are meant to be critical in addition to being descriptive.
Format:
The format for an annotated bibliography is similar to that of a research paper. Use one-inch margins on all sides, double-space your entries, and arrange each entry in alphabetical order. Hanging Indents are required for citations in the bibliography, as shown below. The first line of the citation starts at the left margin and subsequent lines of the citation will be indented.

This article discusses the problem of unintentional online plagiarism and many
students’ inability to evaluate, critique, synthesize, and credit online sources properly.
Two case studies from different disciplines, which were designed to foster critical evaluation of the Internet and scholarly sources, are discussed in detail. The CARS (Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, Support) checklist for evaluating research sources is also introduced and applied in these case studies. I found this article useful because much of the content of these case studies can be easily adapted to fit assignments in different academic disciplines. One information literacy assignment in one quarter at college is not enough. If students are expected to use the Internet in a responsible way, educators must provide guidelines and relevant experience that allows students to apply those guidelines in practical ways.

The goal is to create characters and a voice that feel authentic to adolescence and would be appealing to adolescents to read.
For example, identity, coming-of-age, romantic relationships, work/school balance, and firsts (kiss, car, job, etc.) are a few of the relevant topics for this age group, although there are any number of topics you could use in your own version.
Instructions:
A “scene” would be about two pages of text, taking place in one location, where characters are present in that scene and interacting in some way. Some scenes may further character, most will probably further plot, some may further theme or emotion -- the crucial part is just to have dialogue and description and be sure to show rather than tell when appropriate.

The 911 Commission Report concluded that the failure of the intelli.docxSANSKAR20
The 9/11 Commission Report concluded that the failure of the intelligence community (IC) to share information between agencies and levels of government lead to significant gaps in situational awareness. The terrorists exploited those gaps to plan and execute their attacks. Over the years since 9/11, in an effort to improve the nation’s ability to share information and intelligence, more than 70 fusion centers have been created at the local, regional, and state levels. These efforts have not been without considerable cost and concerns, such as privacy. The recession of 2008–09 and lack of major terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11 resulted in local and state leaders having to rethink their ability to provide ongoing investments in these centers. Your local leadership has requested your assistance in assessing the situation.
Your assignment is to write a strategy memo of 850–1,100 words that addresses the major research questions listed below. You should utilize the course materials, Web resources, and the course articles provided as well as conduct your own research, including interviews if possible. Your final document should include an overview of the fusion center nearest to your place of residence. If you are unable to research your local fusion center, you should explore the information-sharing environment between agencies at your local level (again,
local
is defined at your discretion).
Your conclusion should outline your recommendations for your fusion center based upon the resources provided, your research, and the answers to the questions below.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in 850–1,100 words:
What local jurisdiction did you choose for this assignment?
Does your local jurisdiction have or participate in a regional (e.g., major urban area or state-level) fusion center? If so, in what way? If not, what platforms (e.g., meetings, conference calls, or software/hardware solutions) are utilized by local HS practitioners to achieve information and intelligence sharing?
What is the mission scope of your local fusion center (e.g., terrorism, all crimes, or all hazards)? How does the fusion center achieve that mission scope? How did it select their scope?
Operationally, who is the lead agency for the fusion center? What other agencies provide direct support (e.g., funding and full- and part-time staff)? What disciplines are present? Is it operational (staffed) at all times?
What are the funding sources for the fusion center?
How are non-law enforcement agencies provided with information and intelligence?
Does the fusion center have a written privacy policy?
What types of products are produced, and to whom are they distributed?
How are information and intelligence entered into the fusion center? How does the public enter information? How is the public made aware of its ability to report suspicious activity?
Is the private sector engaged in any of the fusion center activities?
What is the role of the fusion center dur.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Senate Bill Aims to Prevent Chemical
Contamination of Surface Water
IHE CHEMICAL
spill that
' recently occurred in West
Virginia and interrupted
water deliveries to approximately
300,000 of that
state's residents has led to the introduction
of federal legislation aimed at preventing
the recurrence of such events.
Although improved protection of surface
water enjoys broad support, questions
have arisen as to who should oversee
and fijnd the additional regulatory
efforts called for in the bill.
On January 9 it was discovered that
3. thousands of gallons of chemicals used in
coal processing had leaked from storage
facilities at a tank farm located along the
Elk River in Charleston, West Virginia.
The chemicals entered the waterway approximately
1.5 mi upstream of a public
water supply intake, forcing officials
to recommend that residents of a ninecounty
area in and around Charleston
not use their drinking water. Lasting for
more than a week, this situation caused
considerable concern about health effects
and spurred calls for regulatory
protections.
On January 27 Senator Joe Manchin
(D-West Virginia) introduced the
Chemical Safety and Drinking Water
Protection Act of 2014 (S. 1961), legislation
4. that aims to protect surface water
from contamination from chemical
storage facilities. The bill would revise
the Safe Drinking Water Act to establish
state programs for overseeing and
inspecting chemical storage facilities
that are deemed to pose a risk to public
water sources. Within one year of enactment
of the legislation, states would
have to set requirements for chemical
storage facilities covered by the new
programs. These requirements would
address such topics as "acceptable standards
of good design, construction, or
maintenance," along with leak detection,
spill and overfill control, inventory
control, inspections of facility integrity.
and life-cycle maintenance, according to
5. the legislation.
Additional requirements would pertain
to emergency response and communication
plans, employee training and
safety plans, and the financial responsibility
of the owners of chemical storage
facilities. States would share with drinking
water providers the emergency response
plans for chemical storage facilities
located within the same watershed,
along with an inventory of each chemical
stored at each facility.
Under S. 1961 states also would impose
minimum inspection requirements
for chemical storage facilities covered
by the new program. In particular, facilities
regarded by states as potential
contamination sources under existing
6. drinking water protection plans would
have to be inspected every thtee years,
while all other facilities would have to
be inspected every five years. The legislation
does not stipulate the entity that
would conduct such inspections. What
is more, ownership of chemical storage
facilities covered by the state ptogtams
could not be transferred unless the facility
in question had been inspected and
the new owner agreed to take appropriate
measures to address the results of the
inspection within 30 days of assuming
ownership.
In the event of an emergency, a drinking
water provider would be able to take
such legal steps as seeking a restraining
order or a temporary or permanent injunction
7. "to address any activity or facility
that may present an imminent
and substantial endangerment to the
health of persons" served by the water
provider, according to S. 1961. Meanwhile,
states forced to conduct emergency
response activities as a result of the release
of chemicals from a storage facility
would have the right to recover from the
facility owner any costs associated with
the response.
The Chemical Safety and Drinking
Water Protection Act of 2014 was referred
to the Senate Committee on Environment
and Public Works, which
is chaired by Senatot Batbara Boxer
(D-California), a cosponsor of the bill.
On February 4 that committee's Water
8. and Wildlife Subcommittee held a
hearing to investigate the chemical spill
in West Virginia. Discussing the accident
in Charleston, Senator Ben Cardin
(D-Maryland), the subcommittee
chair, noted that the existing regulatory
framework for ensuring public health
"did not work on January ninth." Rather,
the "system failed," he said.
This assessment was seconded by
Erik Olson, the senior strategic director
for health and food at the Natural
Resources Defense Council, of New
York City. Testifying before the subcommittee,
Olson voiced his support
for S. 1961, although he contended
that inspections of chemical storage
facilities should be conducted annually
9. rather than, as called for in the bill,
every thtee or five years. He also called
upon Congress to provide increased
funding for treatment facilities as part
of the Drinking Water State Revolving
Fund, noting that such funding
would help communities install treatment
systems better able to protect
people from contaminants in sutface
water.
In the event of a chemical spill to surface
waters, drinking water providers
would benefit from having advance information
about the types of chemicals
present in their watersheds, said Brent
Fewell, a partner in the Washington,
D.C., office of Troutman Sanders LLP.
Testifying on behalf of United Water,
10. of Harrington Park, New Jersey, Fewell
expressed support for the legislation's
provisions calling for states to share with
drinking water providers information
about chemicals stored in their watersheds.
However, Fewell voiced concern
that water utilities serving large areas
might be inundated with more information
than they could handle. "It will
do no good to simply dump reams of
paper and data on these systems and expect
the problem to go away," he said.
[ 1 4 ] C i v i l E n g i n e e r i n g
M A R C H
2 0 1 4
Instead, priority should be given to providing
utilities with information about
the chemical storage facilities that are
11. closest to their drinking water sources,
Fewell noted.
Some witnesses advised the senators
to exercise legislative restraint rather
than hurriedly pass a bill in the wake
of the Charleston spill. For example,
Richard Faulk, a partner in the Washington,
D.C, law firm of Hollingsworth
LLP, argued that local and state
officials in West Virginia should be allowed
to investigate the causes of the
recent accident and develop responses
that address the circumstances there.
"A one-size-fits-all federal approach
may sometimes even reduce safety by
preempting broader or more effectively
tailored solutions that are already
working," Faulk said.
12. Boxet rebuffed such a hands-off approach,
maintaining that the threat of
chemical spills nationwide necessitated
a federal response. "We've got a massive
problem," she said, noting that no
firm figures exist regarding the number
of aboveground storage tanks that
are located near drinking water supplies.
"We need an assessment" of the extent
to which such storage facilities pose a
threat to water supplies, Boxer said, arguing
that S. 1961 would provide the
best way to achieve this goal.
The question of who is to pay for
the regulatory activities called for in
S. 1961 was raised in a February 3 letter
to the Water and Wildlife Subcommittee
sent by the American Water Works
13. Association, of Denver, and the Association
of Metropolitan Water Agencies, of
Washington, D.C. Much like the federal
government, "most state governments
are operating under very tight or
declining budgets," the groups stated in
their letter. "Therefore, any new chemical
facility-monitoring program
enacted tinder {the Safe
Drinking Water Act] must
include a sufficient authorization
to offset at least some
of the implementation costs.
Otherwise, these new activities
will come at the expense
of other ongoing water quality
oversight activities or badly
needed infrastructure investments."
14. As introduced, S. 1961 includes no provisions
authorizing additional fianding
to cover the activities it would require
of states.
Others question whether the Safe
Drinking Water Act is the appropriate
legislative vehicle for a new program
intended to regulate chemical storage
facilities. For example, Jim Taft, the
executive director of the Association
of State Drinking Water Administrators,
which has its headquarters in Arlington,
Virginia, supports the overall
goals of S. 1961 but notes, "We are concerned
about state drinking water programs
being the implementer" of such
a program. State drinking water progtams
oversee approximately
15. 150,000 public water systems,
Taft says, but have no
experience collecting chemical
inventories and inspecting
chemical storage facilities.
