Duarte, CA Encanto Nature Walk Bioswale Project

Type: Program
Status: Initiated in 2006
Source File: http://www.accessduarte.com/GeneralInformation/latestnews.asp?NewsPage=212
Description:
The City of Duarte has received a $507,990 grant from the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountain Conservancy (RMC) for the development of the Encanto Nature Walk Bioswale and Outdoor Nature Classroom project. 
The creation of a 1,000 foot long bioswale along the western perimeter of City-owned Encanto Park to begin construction this summer is the initial step in a larger multi-faceted project that will open up educational and recreational opportunities for visitors to the park and the adjacent San Gabriel River.
In 2006, the RMC provided the City with a $150,000 planning grant for the bioswale project that will include interpretive signage, native landscaping and a small infiltration basin to manage storm runoff from the park.
Other components of the Encanto Nature Walk will include:
A small outdoor nature center with interpretive displays and an outdoor classroom to be located at the south end of Encanto Park, funded with $100,000 from Proposition A funds from Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
A nature trail, with interpretive exhibits leading from the nature center along the west bank of the San Gabriel River to a view point located at the end of a berm which projects into the river channel. A principal objective of the project will be to enhance connections between the park and the river. 
Removal of a chain link fence and screen of non-native plants which currently serves to isolate visitors from the attractive river environment. Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina provided $150,000 in Proposition A funds toward the project. 
Total cost for the design and development of the Encanto Nature Walk/Bioswale Project is $1,037,307. All but $70,000 has been raised, including Duarte’s contribution totaling $55,000.
“The Encanto Nature Walk is destined to be one of the jewels in the regional Emerald Necklace Project,” said Deputy City Manager Karen Herrera. 
The City will involve at-risk youth in the project by contracting with the Los Angeles Conservation Corps for construction of the river trail and viewpoint. Work will begin in September 2008 with a dedication of the project expected by Spring 2009 to coincide with the City’s annual Wilderness Day celebration.
Duarte’s street maintenance staff will provide long term maintenance for the project and will receive training for native landscape maintenance from Amigos de los Rios.

Dubbo, Australia "A Living Initiative for a Vibrant Environment"

Type: Policy
Status: Adopted
Source File: http://www.dubbo.nsw.gov.au/public/content/default.asp?xcid=3175&
Description:
Dubbo ALIVE
A Living Initiative for a Vibrant Environment
Dubbo City Council (DCC) has prepared a new environmental sustainability plan for Dubbo – Dubbo ALIVE
The principles and concept of Dubbo ALIVE are not new for DCC. Commitment to the local environment and working towards sustainability was first demonstrated back in 2000 with development of the Dubbo Environmental Management Plan (DEMP). As a directive for Council’s environmental initiatives, it was a valuable first step, with the principles and achievements being used and built on now in 2006.
Dubbo ALIVE marks an exciting change in the way Council approaches the environmental issues affecting our local area. It is a simple, yet effective approach to issues that often seem complex and outside of Council’s influence. Dubbo ALIVE identifies Council’s capacity to address issues and identifies only those actions which can realistically be implemented by Council.
Distinguishing features of Dubbo ALIVE include:
* Identification and endorsement of four (4) priority themes to provide immediate areas of focus for the implementation period (2006-2009), namely Energy, Salinity, Waste and Water Management;
* Development of 16 draft Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These indicators have allowed for determination of the baseline situation for each priority theme eg. tonnes of waste generated per capita provide a basis for comparison as part of annual monitoring, and provide for development of an Annual Report Card to highlight Council’s progress;
* Development of draft Objectives and Targets for each priority theme to guide Council’s initiatives and projects; and, 
* Utilisation of the annual State of Environment Report as the primary reporting mechanism of Dubbo ALIVE.
Background to document name and logo
As part of the development of Dubbo ALIVE, Council held an internal competition for a document name and logo that said “sustainability” in everyday language.
Dubbo ALIVE (A Living Initiative for a Vibrant Environment) was selected as the name for the document as it conveyed the simple message that it is a living process and will continue to grow as Council’s initiatives and focus continues to evolve.
The “face” of Dubbo ALIVE (the logo) has been developed using the Council logo. This was an effective approach as it illustrates the connectivity between the natural and built environments and their relationship with our red earth, and therefore has a strong link to the corporate Council logo and image.
The document has been developed to identify how Council will address the environmental issues in the local area over the coming years.

Dubbo, Australia Climate Protection Campaign

Type: Policy
Status: Adopted in 2000
Source File: http://www.dubbo.nsw.gov.au/public/content/default.asp?xcid=732
Description:
Since October 2000 Dubbo City Council (DCC) has been involved in the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP(tm)) Campaign, a global initiative designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Council operations and the community.
The Program is an international initiative to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from local government and the community. The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) administers the Program in Australia with support from the Commonwealth Government's Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO). 
CCP(tm) is based on the achievement of five milestones, namely:
:1. Analyse emissions and estimate potential emissions growth to 2010,
:2. Set an emissions reduction goal,
:3. Develop a Local Greenhouse Reduction Strategy,
:4. Implement the Reduction Strategy,
:5. Monitor and report on implementation.
DCC involvement and progress
Dubbo City Council was the first NSW regional Council to complete all 5 milestones in June 2004. Council is now a member of the CCP Plus program, continuing its commitment to reducing the effects of climate change.
The Milestone 5 process highlighted that Council has achieved an abatement of 504.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide during the re-inventory year of 2002/03 through the implementation of a number of Council focused energy efficient initiatives.
Some of the initiatives included downsizing the vehicle fleet, using LPG to fuel vehicles, installing variable speed drives on water pumps, installing timers on lights and equipment, and conducting an internal staff awareness campaign.
While Council has completed the program, internal processes have been put in place to allow continual monitoring of progress against energy reduction goals. These processes also serve to ensure the energy management issue is fixed on the Council agenda irrespective of involvement in external programs such as CCP(tm). Such processes include the development of Dubbo ALIVE – A Living Initiative for a Vibrant Environment. This document is Councils sustainability plan and focuses on the priority areas of Energy, Water, Waste and Salinity.
While the environmental benefits of fewer emissions are obvious, a reduction in greenhouse gases will also lead to substantial cost savings for Council and the community, as the level of emissions relates directly to the amount of energy and fuel consumed by the City.

Dubbo, Australia Green Power Program

Type: Program
Status: Conducted from April - September 2006
Source File: http://www.dubbo.nsw.gov.au/public/content/default.asp?xcid=3551&
Description:
Growing concern for climate change related impacts on local communities led to the development of a Green Power educational campaign which ran from April - September 2006. The NSW Department of Energy, Utilities and Sustainability (DEUS), Dubbo City Council and Country Energy worked together on a combined program to encourage the uptake of Green Power.
Green Power is electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as the wind, solar, hydro and biomass.
The primary objective was to increase Green Power awareness and educate consumers on the important role that renewable energy generation plays in helping prevent climate change.
Evidence demonstrates that the continued use of fossil-fuelled electricity, (which contributes 38% of greenhouse gas emissions), effectively damages our climate and will change our environment and our local communities in the future.
One of the potential consequences of climate change is an increase in the frequency and intensity of severe weather events such as drought, which has created extreme conditions in many areas, including Dubbo.
This was the first campaign of its kind involving a combined effort from two tiers of government and industry to create awareness of accredited renewable energy.
Our future relies heavily on the community and businesses to take serious action to prevent climate change.
As part of the program, displays and brochures were available at Council’s Civic Administration Building and additional information was included with the April 2006 rates notices and the Community Connection newsletter, as well as a series of print and radio adverts.
The program resulted in a 300% increase of Green Power customers in the Dubbo area. These households are to be congratulated for their ongoing contribution to reducing greenhouse gases.
Its not too late to choose Green Power.
