Adelaide, Australia Introduces World's First Solar-Powered Electric Bus

Type: Policy
Status: Adopted
Source File: http://www.adelaidecitycouncil.com/scripts/nc.dll?ADCC:STANDARD:510877738:pc=PC_151048 
Description:
Tindo Solar Bus
The Adelaide City Council has raised the standard in International sustainability with the introduction of the world’s first solar-powered electric bus.
The first bus to be recharged using 100% solar energy, Tindo is the newest edition to the Adelaide City Council’s Adelaide Connector Bus service, a free service for the people of Adelaide.
Manufactured by New Zealand company Designline International, the bus doesn’t have a combustion engine, which makes it a very quiet, zero emissions vehicle. Other features of the vehicle include a regenerative braking system, saving up to 30% energy consumption.
It features high quality, state-of-the-art components sourced from some of the
world’s leading transport and technology companies including MAN and Siemens.
A further ‘green’ development introduced by the Adelaide City Council, the bus will be recharged using a solar photovoltaic system supplied by BP Solar and installed at the Adelaide Central Bus Station.
This system is the largest grid connected solar photovoltaic system in the State,
and means the bus is also carbon neutral.
The air-conditioned solar electric bus can carry up to 42 passengers, with 25 standard seats, two seats especially designed for disabled passengers, and room
for 15 standing passengers.
The solar electric bus and the recharging system at the bus station represent a significant investment by the Adelaide City Council into a sustainable future for the City of Adelaide, while providing leadership in sustainable public transport options for cities around Australia.

Description:
Be rewarded for creating an environmentally friendly garden.
DID YOU KNOW? Many of our urban landscapes are resource-hungry. They require substantial inputs of water, energy, nutrients and chemicals to survive, may use materials taken from bushland and provide little habitat for native animals.
Sustainable landscapes work in harmony with the local environment. They use good design to integrate low water use plants, non-weedy plants, low chemical use, low energy consumption, habitat creation, water conservation and the use of sustainable products.
The Sustainable Landscapes Incentive Scheme seeks to reward the thorough planning involved in creating a garden that makes a holistic contribution to our environment by addressing all the above Sustainable Landscape Principles.
Whether your outdoor space is a balcony, roof-top, courtyard or back yard you can create a garden that contributes to a sustainable urban environment. The following incentives are available for properties in the City of Adelaide (Please refer to eligibility criteria and conditions in the brochure below):
:1. Up to $500 reimbursement towards the design and construction of a garden which meets the Sustainable Landscapes Principles and is designed by a registered landscape designer; OR

Agricultural Sustainability as a Green Policy Goal 
Industrial agriculture globally: Water and Agriculture
One of the issues rarely confronted when considering high intensive agriculture is the use of water in unsustainable irrigation. The draw down and depletion of aquifers is a rising cost and only recently, with the advent of earth observation and monitoring systems, are technologies becoming available to measure the extent of groundwater basins and recharging capabilities. The new satellite measurements of aquifers/ground water globally, as are now being reported with NASA GRACE satellites, comprise both a warning and a capability of needed sustainable environmental security. Water saving and water security are essential to a lasting agriculture policy.

Agrivoltaics
New Solutions, Intersections in Alternative Ag
The co-existence of solar energy production and food farming could just be getting started as "solar farms" become more sophisticated.
In Indiana, a new approach -- requiring the planting of pollinator-friendly plants like wildflowers and clover, in addition to native grasses. It was the first such mandate in state history.
In Minnesota, a solar site uses a diverse mix of pollinator-friendly native flowers and grasses, and is co-located with a collection of beehives.
Across the US, “community solar projects” are starting up and growing — smaller solar arrays (less than five megawatts) typically built on leased farmland. 
Solar farms with plants can also become fodder for “solar grazers,” like at the Nexamp community solar project in Newfield, New York, where about 150 sheep are “deployed” to prevent plants from growing tall and interfering with the solar panels. 
Natural grazing also encourages grass regrowth, increases manure nutrients to the soil, and avoids the costs and pollution of mowing.
Meanwhile, new approaches are promising to expand the species of plants that can be grown at solar sites. The U.S. Department of Energy is experimenting with “agrivoltaics” — for example, raising solar panels higher off the ground to enable food crops to be grown in the shade underneath.

Agroecological Farming

"The Tribe of the New Flame", Agroecology via the Bioneers
The Agroecology Revolution
Bioneers Food and Farming Podcasts
Small farmers around the world are building an agro-ecological revolution based on self-sufficiency, food security, and freedom from fossil fuels and corporate control. In this program, we hear from two visionary agroecology innovators.
Miguel Altieri is an agroecologist and entomologist at UC Berkeley who’s showing how farmers who embrace agroecology are building a movement based on self-sufficiency, food security and freedom from fossil fuels and corporate control.
Alex Eaton is the founder of “Sistema Bio”. This game-changing company helps farmers implement a simple technology that converts waste to energy, builds healthy soils, and holds the promise of massively reducing greenhouse gases and lifting people out of poverty.

Agroecology to the Rescue: 7 Ways Ecologists are Working Toward Healthier Food Systems
A lot has been written about agroecology and a special issue of the journal Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems takes it to the next level.
The new issue, entitled Agroecology: Building an ecological knowledge-base for food system sustainability, expands the conversation by outlining recent progress in ecology relevant for tackling food system challenges ranging from disappearing diversity to water woes to climate catastrophes. Together, the eight included articles demonstrate a range of emerging science-based opportunities that can help farmers and ranchers achieve the triple bottom line: social, environmental, and financial sustainability.

Alameda County, CA Stormwater Quality Management Plan

Type: Policy
Status: Established on 2/19/03
Source File: http://www.cleanwaterprogram.org/ACCWP_SWQMP_all.pdf
Description:
Because of the size of this document -- 124 pages -- only the Introduction is shown below. To view or print it in its entirety, please refer to the source file.
INTRODUCTION
The Alameda Countywide Clean Water
Program (Program) is a consortium of
agencies within Alameda County that
discharge stormwater to the San
Francisco Bay. This Stormwater Quality
Management Plan (Plan) describes the
Program’s approach to reducing
stormwater pollution.
There are five major sections to the Plan.
The Background provides a brief history
of water quality regulations. The
Program Description describes the
structure, accomplishments, and recent
developments of the Program. The
Component Work Plans describe the
objectives and tasks of each Program
component. The Pollution Reduction
Plans describe the actions the Program
and the member agencies will take to
address specific pollutants that are
impairing water quality. Lastly, the
Performance Standards list specific tasks
that the member agencies are required to
perform.
The Plan for FY 2001/02 through
2007/08 is the Program's third
stormwater quality management plan
and will serve as the basis of the
Program's third stormwater discharge
permit from the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board, San
Francisco Bay Region (Regional Board).
The Plan was submitted to the Regional
Board 180 days prior to the expiration of
the Program’s second permit on
February 19, 2002. The federal Clean
Water Act (1972) requires stormwater
dischargers to reduce pollutants to the
maximum extent practicable. The Plan,
in conjunction with the permit adopted
by the Regional Board, is designed to
enable the consortium to meet that
requirement.
