An Analysis Of Three Methodologies In Determining Family Biotic Index (Fbi) Values For Benthic Macroinvertebrates In The Tropics, September 2002, Victor J. Rini

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The use of living organisms to assess water quality is a century old approach (Cairns and Pratt 1993). Widespread use of this method of evaluation has been common in North America and Europe (Metcalf 1989), yet it has not been applied in the Tropics. Here I present a test and alternatives to Hilsenhoff’s (1977, 1982, 1987) methodology for assigning Family Biotic Index values (a measure of pollution tolerance) to macroinvertebrates in a tropical premontane moist/wet forest (Holdridge 1967). Samples of benthic macroinvertebrates were taken from seven streams in the Monteverde, Costa Rica area. Hilsenhoff’s methodology as well as two others …

Local Environmental Impact Review: Integrating Land Use And Planning Through Local Environmental Impact Reviews , Kathryn C. Plunkett

Pace Environmental Law Review

This article begins by discussing the role of environmental impact review statutes, starting with NEPA, the genesis of environmental impact review (EIR). The article then segues into an exploration of the environmental impact review statutes in New York, California and Washington, discussing the process and procedures required under those statutes. Methods of EIR that foster integration with local planning and land use regulation are highlighted. The planning procedures in those states as well as authority for local governments to enact EIR statutes are discussed. The paper also addresses the authority available to local governments to initiate local EIR statutes and …

Documentation Of Context-Sensitive Design Case Studies, Jerry G. Pigman, Donald L. Hartman, Nikiforos Stamatiadis, Lisa Aultman-Hall, Sally G. Oldham

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

A major challenge for many current transportation projects is to plan, design and build to create a solution which will not only address the planning and engineering requirements, but also satisfy the human and natural environmental issues related to a specific project. Occasional projects of this type have been designed and built for many years, typically when there have been few alternatives otherwise. A key component to these types of projects has been a greater level of community interest and public involvement. Initial efforts to introduce the concept of increased sensitivity to community interests and the natural environment was labeled …

'Golden' Anniversary: 30-Year-Old Decision Is Fabric Of Land Use Law, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The famous New York case of Golden v. Ramapo helped create the movement towards smart growth thirty years ago. Ramapo, like most other towns in New York struggled with the familiar quandary of how to balance the pressures of absorbing growth while still controlling urban sprawl. Ramapo’s solution, to greatly reduce development in its jurisdiction for eighteen years in order to research more efficient development methods, sparked much controversy with local land owners. The United States Court of Appeals, in one of New York’s most significant contributions to smart growth, upheld Ramapo’s plan and created a groundbreaking precedent still widely …

Predictive Model For Archeological And Historic Site Locations Within The Big Fossil Creek Drainage, Tarrant County, Texas, Nancy Parrish, Elizabeth A. Burson

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District, is investigating the water resource problems, needs, and opportunities within the Big Fossil Creek drainage in Tarrant County, Texas. The effort focuses on describing existing conditions and identifying measures to minimize and control flood loss within a 48,396.8-acre area of the drainage north of the city of Fort Worth. Geo-Marine, Inc., of Plano, Texas, was contracted by the USACE to assess the potential for historic properties within the drainage area. Background research and a pedestrian reconnaissance survey of the project area were carried out and a geographical information systems (GIS) …

Waiting To Exhale?: Global Warming And Tax Policy, Roberta Mann

American University Law Review

This article explores the links between energy policy, tax policy and global warming. This article focuses on tax policy, because the emerging consensus among legal scholars favors economic incentives rather than command-and-control regulations for reaching environmental goals, and the Federal income tax has proved an effective delivery system for economic incentives.

After briefly discussing of the science of global warming and the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change, the article reviews the impact of both existing tax law and current proposals for energy legislation on global warming, as well as potential international law consequences of failure to act …

Dose Coefficient (Dc) Methodology Report, John P. Shanahan, Phillip W. Patton, Mark Rudin

Transmutation Sciences Physics (TRP)

The purpose of this report is to present the methodology developed to calculate internal and external dose coefficients for radionuclides produced in the spallation process. Much of the information regarding computer codes in this report comes from various technical manuals and professional papers. References are provided at the beginning of each section for documentation and for the user who requires more specific information. The report also includes the results of applying the methodology to determine dose coefficients for five radionuclides. This effort identified potential areas of concern that will need to be addressed when the methodology is used in the …

A Land Use History Of The Holly Springs National Forest, Michelle R. Mcanally

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis details the land use history of the Holly Springs National Forest. A description of the physical environment and a narrative cultural history of the area from the arrival of people into the North Central Hills are included. Archaeological survey data, soils data and witness tree locations were brought together using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology and analyzed in an ecological framework.

An environmental reconstruction using witness tree locations and soil types served as a platform for the delineation of environmental zones in which presettlement tree cover was estimated and compared with previous environmental studies of the area. Prehistoric …

Use Of Catchment Attributes To Identify The Scale And Values Of Distributed Parameters In Surface And Sub-Surface Conceptual Hydrology Models, P. W. Carlile, A. J. Jakeman, B. F. W. Croke, B. G. Lees

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Improved prediction for problems in catchment hydrology requires an ability to spatially disaggregate and connect surface and sub-surface components. This paper considers two hydrological models for use in such disaggregation and coupling: a lumped conceptual rainfall-runoff model (IHACRES) and a physics based conceptual groundwater discharge model. Smaller gauged catchments in the vicinity can be used to regionalise and parameterise the coupled model using catchment attributes prior to running the model in a larger catchment with fewer gauges. Regionalisation in gauged catchments at appropriate scales would capture the uncertainty of the relationships between catchment attributes and model parameter values, including the …

Modelling Of Pop Environmental Persistence And Long Range Transport By Qsar And Chemometric Approaches, Paola Gramatica, Ester Papa, Stefano Pozzi

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The Long Range Transport (LRT) potential of chemicals is due to the combination of theirpersistence in the environment and their inherent tendency towards mobility, and is an undesirableproperty of POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants). Finding the best combination of chemical properties tominimize LRT is a multicriteria problem that can be approached by MultiCriteria Decision-Making(MCDM) techniques. Utility functions have been applied to two proposed indexes, the “globalpersistence index” and the “mobility index”, allowing a ranking of the studied chemicals according totheir LRT potential. The “global persistence index” was obtained by linear combination, by PrincipalComponent Analysis of the half-life data in various environmental …
