If your street is not sealed as scheduled, it will be added toward the end of the list and you will be re-notified 24 to 48 hours in advance of the contractor returning and sealing your street. If your street is scheduled to be slurried, you will be asked not to drive or park on the listed day or to use your sprinklers or water hose. This will help to prevent aesthetic damage to the slurry.	

5.
How will this affect the mail and other services?

It should not affect these services significantly. The Public Works Department coordinates with the Post Office, trash company, and the Police and Fire Departments so reasonable accommodations may be made.	

6.
What will city crews be doing to prepare the streets for slurry seal?

The City’s Street Crew will be sealing cracks and patching street defects prior to the actual slurry seal. These activities may require numerous visits to your street due to the specialized nature of each repair method. This work can be dusty and noisy.	

7.
What will city crews be doing after my street is slurried?

For streets that have road markings and/or permanent pavement markers, the city’s traffic crew will place temporary road markers wherever possible. Within one to two days the traffic crew will begin to repaint all the previous street markings and replace permanent pavement markers. The traffic crew will also locate any sewer manholes that might have been completely covered during the slurry process. 	

8.
Why are small rocks collecting along the edge of my street?

This is a normal short-term occurrence after slurry has been applied. A small percentage of rock does not adhere completely and eventually becomes loose. As cars travel the street, these small rocks are swept to the edge. These rocks will be cleaned up through the city’s weekly street sweeping program.

How do I pay my water bill?

Water bills are mailed out on a two-month cycle.
2001 Budget Analysis:State Water Resources 
identified other improvements, specifically for ambient water quality monitoring and for staff training, that should be addressed if TMDLs are to be developed
in a timely manner. Such improvements are likely to require additional funds. However, as discussed below, the lack of a long-term work plan for the TMDL
program means that total long-term funding requirements for the TMDL program are not known.
Funding for Ambient Water Quality Monitoring. The TMDL program requires comprehensive, up-to-date water quality monitoring data for several reasons.
Such data allow the boards to set credible water quality standards, to determine whether water quality standards are being met, to allocate responsibility for
reducing pollution among those contributing to the pollution problem, and ultimately to monitor the effectiveness of TMDL implementation. The credibility of
TMDL decisions depends on these data.
Unfortunately, according to SWRCB, the state has not assessed 43 percent of the state's coastal waters, 56 percent of the state's lakes and reservoirs, and
93 percent of the state's rivers and stream miles.
This lack of monitoring data is a very substantial barrier to speeding up the pace of TMDL development. This is because according to U.S. EPA, it will likely
take several years in some cases to obtain sufficient data to complete TMDLs for many of the state's water bodies.
For the current year, SWRCB expenditures for ambient surface water monitoring are about $7 million. Chapter 495 requires the board to report to the
Legislature with a proposal for a comprehensive surface water quality monitoring program for the state. While the board expects to submit its report in early
2001, it has developed preliminary estimates of $50 million to $100 million annually to implement a comprehensive monitoring program.
Funding of Staff Training. The U.S. EPA's program review also found that existing regional board staff do not have the training or background to fully address
a number of TMDL-related activities. These activities include modeling, data management, project management, and education/outreach. The review found that
due to the lack of staff expertise, the regional boards sometimes developed TMDLs based on "overly simplistic approaches."

1.
What is organic waste?

Organic waste is any material that is biodegradable and comes from either a plant or an animal. Biodegradable waste is organic material that can be broken into carbon dioxide, methane or simple organic molecules, such as food scraps and yard trimmings. 

2.
Am I required to participate? What if I don’t change anything about how I dispose of my waste?

Yes, everyone is required to participate. If you choose not to participate, you may receive an improper facility use fine as laid out by the State of California (Government Code Sections 53069.4, 25132, 36900). 

3.
Why are the requirements changing?

A focus on recovering and recycling organic materials is vital to California’s efforts to combat climate change. When organic materials such as food scraps, yard trimmings, and paper decompose anaerobically (without oxygen) in a landfill, they produce methane — one of the most potent climate pollutants in the atmosphere and a major contributor to climate change. 

4.
What are the fines for improper facility use?
FAQs • Monterey Park, CA • CivicEngage
By reusing old tires and tennis balls as the filler and using special emulsion, new technology allows us to apply a slurry solution in the morning and then drive on it in the evening. 	

2.
What does it do?

Slurry Seal provides a new protective surface and smooth driving surface to an existing asphalt street. By sealing the street, the base of the road is protected from water damage and the surface is protected from weathering. This extends the service life of our roadways and cuts down on costly repairs and repaving projects caused by oxidized aged pavement surface that has lost its flexibility. Slurry seal can extend the serviceable life of a residential street up to 40 percent.	

3.
When will my street be slurried?

Slurry Seal projects are usually scheduled to be done during the months of April, May, or June but may be delayed to allow the City to obtain better pricing and avoid short-term spikes in oil costs. Depending on the availability of funding, the pavement conditions of individual streets and the last time a particular street or area was slurry sealed, the City will select the next grouping of streets to be slurried from year to year. Prior to the streets being slurried, residents will receive notices from the City, and the contractor, with the date that street is to be slurried and parking instructions.	

4.
How will this affect access to my street?

During the slurry seal application, access to your street will be interrupted for a maximum of 12 hours, one day only, unless the contractor is delayed due to equipment failures, weather-related problems, or other unforeseen reasons. If your street is not sealed as scheduled, it will be added toward the end of the list and you will be re-notified 24 to 48 hours in advance of the contractor returning and sealing your street. If your street is scheduled to be slurried, you will be asked not to drive or park on the listed day or to use your sprinklers or water hose. This will help to prevent aesthetic damage to the slurry.	

5.
How will this affect the mail and other services?

It should not affect these services significantly.
FAQs • Private Sewer Lateral FAQs
To mitigate any property transfer delays the two participating parties may choose to complete the Transfer of Responsibility Form, allowing for the buyer to take responsibility for all repairs that may need to be completed on the private sewer lateral in order to pass inspection. The new property owner will be allotted 180 days to complete the repairs. Buyers who do not complete the improvements as required will be subject to penalties and could have their water service terminated.  

9.
What is a private sanitary sewer collection system? 

This is a combination of multiple residences on a common interest development, for example apartment complexes or office buildings, where multiple lateral lines from the exterior of the building(s) combine to a private main sewer line that connects to the main public sewer line, including the connection. Townhome, condominium, apartment complex, and duplexes may be either PSSCS or PSL depending on the connection between the building and the city sewer main. Contact the City if clarification is needed for the property. 

10.
Why do I need a Certificate of Compliance?

A Certificate of Compliance is needed in the City of Morgan Hill to begin new water services.

World of Change: Mountaintop Mining, West Virginia
The images from 2013 and 2015 show some green-up of restored lands. The images also show expanded operations in the southwest and northeast. Over the 31-year period, the disturbed area grew to more than 10,000 acres (15.6 square miles).
According to a report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, nearly 40 percent of the year-round and seasonal streams in the Mud River watershed upstream of and including Connelly Branch had been filled or approved for filling through 1998. In 2009, the EPA intervened in the approval of a permit to further expand the Hobet mine into the Berry Branch area, and worked with mine operators to minimize the disturbance and to reduce the number and size of valley fills. In 2010, the EPA reported that Hobet 45 mine met the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
Still, some scientists argue that current regulations and mitigation strategies are inadequate. In February 2010, a team of scientists published a review of research on mountaintop mining and valley fills in the journal Science. The scientists concluded that the impacts on stream and groundwater quality, biodiversity, and forest productivity were "pervasive and irreversible" and that current strategies for mitigation and restoration were not compensating for the degradation.

Simple Solutions to Help Reduce Air Pollution | California Air Resources Board
There are simple steps you can take in your everyday life to help improve air quality. Every time you drive to work or school, use your heater or air conditioner, clean your windows or even style your hair, you make choices that can reduce or increase air pollution.On the roadIn California, about half the air pollution comes from cars and trucks. Fewer trips in your car or truck can help improve air quality. Even how you drive can reduce your car’s footprint. Take these into consideration when your are traveling on California roads:Walk or ride a bike when possible.Take public transportation.Organize and condense errands into one trip.When driving, accelerate gradually and obey the speed limit.Drive less, particularly on days with unhealthy air.Maintain your vehicle and keep your tires properly inflated.Support the Smog Check Program.Report smoking vehicles to 1-800-END-SMOG.Travel lightly and remove any unnecessary items that may weigh down your vehicle.Limit idling your vehicle to no more than 30 seconds.When in the market for a new car, look for the most efficient, lowest-polluting vehicle or even a zero-emission electric car.At homeThere are many ways air quality can be improved in the home. By reducing energy consumption, choosing sustainable products and eliminating your exposure to chemicals, we can all contribute to a cleaner California.Reducing energy consumption helps reduce air pollution. If less gasoline, natural gas and electricity (power plants burn fossil fuels to generate electricity) are used, not only do your bills decrease but less pollutants are emitted.There are also many products in the home, garden and garage that emit smog-forming chemicals that pollute the air when used. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM) contained in these products penetrate deep into the lungs and can trigger asthma attacks or worsen respiratory illnesses.
