Water Supply And Urban Growth In New Mexico: Same Old, Same Old Or A New Era?, (With L. Lucero), A. Dan Tarlock Feb 2003

Water Supply And Urban Growth In New Mexico: Same Old, Same Old Or A New Era?, (With L. Lucero), A. Dan Tarlock

Dan Tarlock

New Mexico and other arid western states face the following dilemma: Rapid urban growth and the increasing demand for the dedication of water to aquatic ecosystem services are placing new stresses on the ability of available water supplies to support these new demands at a time when a coherent federal supply and water policy no longer exists and states have been slow to fill the vacuum. The answer to the increasing demand for water is no longer simply to augment supply through new diversions, high-capacity wells, or the construction of large storage reservoirs. Instead, in today's increasingly unmediated, competitive water …

Seasons Of Resistance: Sustainable Agriculture And Food Security In Cuba, Carmen G. Gonzalez Dec 2002

Seasons Of Resistance: Sustainable Agriculture And Food Security In Cuba, Carmen G. Gonzalez

Carmen G. Gonzalez

Beginning in the mid-1990s, Cuba embarked upon a transformation of the agricultural sector that has been hailed by some observers as a model of socially equitable and ecologically sustainable agriculture. Cuba shifted from an export-oriented, chemical-intensive agricultural development strategy to one that promoted organic agriculture and encouraged production for the domestic market. This article places Cuba's agricultural reforms in historical context by examining the evolution of Cuban agriculture from the colonial period until the present through the lens of food security and ecological sustainability. The article argues that Cuba, for most of its history, was food insecure and ecologically compromised …


Remediating Contaminated Sediments Under California’S Regulatory Regime: Are, Chad J. Mcguire Dec 2002

Remediating Contaminated Sediments Under California’S Regulatory Regime: Are, Chad J. Mcguire

Chad J McGuire

California has a legislative mandate to remedy contaminated sediments under state statutory guidelines contained in the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Act.

RWQB’s have interpreted requirements for contaminated sediment cleanup to be a “background level” approach. Such an approach is in direct conflict with the specific statutory mandates under Porter-Cologne. Instead of requiring a standard of “background levels”, Porter-Cologne is clear in requiring a cost-benefit analysis akin to review standards in the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response for Contaminated Liability Act (CERCLA), and more importantly, the California Hazardous Substance …
