SACRAMENTO — The California Department of Water Resources, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Resources Legacy Fund, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today released a publication to assist water resource managers. The Climate Change Handbook for Regional Water Planning provides resources and tools to guide water resource managers and planners as they adapt and navigate the complexities of climate change.
“Climate change will directly affect water supplies and how they are managed,” said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA’s Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest. “With this guide, EPA is giving water agencies the practical tools they need to effectively manage this precious resource.”
Climate change impacts will pose many challenges to the management of California’s water resources. Extreme weather events, sea level rise, shifting precipitation and runoff patterns, temperature changes, and the resulting changes in water quality and availability all have potentially significant implications for water management. Drinking water and wastewater utilities, irrigation districts, local land use planners and flood control agencies are beginning to evaluate how these changes might affect their missions and their future investments.
PHILADELPHIA (November 29, 2011) — On November 30, 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Institute for Local Self-Reliance held a Food Recovery Workshop at the Capital Union Building on Penn State University’s Harrisburg Campus.
Surplus food is second only to paper in materials sent to landfills. Much of this “waste” is not waste at all, but actually safe, wholesome food that could potentially feed millions of Americans. Only three percent is currently being diverted to hunger relief organizations or for other uses.
EPA showcased the agency’s Food Recovery Challenge, a sustainable materials management initiative, which challenges participants to reduce disposal of as much of their surplus food as possible — saving money, helping communities, and protecting the environment.
Methodology will help determine when permits are required for projects impacting streams
Portland, OR – The challenging task of determining if a particular stream is protected under federal and state fill and disposal regulations just became a little easier. The new Streamflow Duration Assessment Method for Oregon will help natural resource professionals, consultants and regulators identify whether a fill or removal project with potential stream impacts must obtain permits.
Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act and Oregon’s Removal-Fill Law require permits to protect water resources when someone plans to place soil, dredged or other material in regulated waters.
This new method provides a consistent, repeatable and quick way to identify whether an Oregon stream is intermittent, perennial or ephemeral.
With the continuing maturation of national and state-level policy, India is now at the forefront of emerging solar markets globally. GTM Research and BRIDGE TO INDIA forecast India’s total solar installations to expand from just 54 MW in 2010 to more than 9,000 MW by 2016.
