Introduction In 2008 the Chesapeake Executive Council charged the seven jurisdictions to develop two-year milestones for pollution reduction to the Chesapeake Bay and to track the pace of restoration. The two-year milestones provide short-term objectives and are part of an overall accountability framework to assess progress on restoration goals. When fully implemented, the seven Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs) will ensure that practices are in place by 2017 to reduce the load by 60 percent. By 2025, all practices necessary to meet the target loading levels will be in place. The two-year milestones allow jurisdictions the opportunity to adapt implementation strategies outlined in their WIPs as necessary to meet those goals and achieve the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) standard. [Jurisdiction’s] milestone commitments are to reduce nitrogen by xx pounds, phosphorus by xx pounds, and sediment by xx tons by the end of 2013, compared to the 2009 baseline. “Jurisdiction’s” Pollutant Reduction Progress and Future Targets by Source Sector Nitrogen Phosphorus Sediment 140M 6M 3B 120M 5M 2.5B The trajectory lines illustrate the level of reductions in the 2013 milestones relative to the 2009 loadings and 2017 target loadings. 100M 4M 2B 80M 60M 3M 1.5B 40M 2M 1B 20M 1M 500M 0 0 0 1985 2013† 2017* 2025* Urban Runoff Point Source Non-Tidal Atmospheric Deposition Septic Projected Target † 2 Year Milestone * Planning Target

Charities are typically not domestic climate refugees, this shows that 100 families per year is a reasonable number of refugees for Cincinnati to absorb. There are options which the City can use to attract businesses relocating from disaster prone areas. There are also many benefits to this policy. The opportunity for growth by welcoming new residents and businesses is likely to increase the base for tax revenues and foster growth in the individual neighborhoods of Cincinnati. Further Reading: [1] City of Cincinnati Fiscal Years 2018-2019 All Funds Budget Volume I. Community and Economic Development, Housing Division, Page 180. . [2] Curnutte, Mark. Flow of Refugees to Cincinnati to Dwindle. Cincinnati Enquirer. February 20, 2017. Accessed January 2018. . Keys to Equity Continue to provide low-income housing to current residents Create jobs for both current residents and potential residents who are disadvantaged Educate residents on ways to assist climate refugees Timeline for Implementation This recommendation will take 1 to 2 to implement but a first few steps include areas where supplemental housing could be built to house refugees as well as developing plans to provide jobs and resources for a population surge Greenhouse Gas Implications This recommendation is intended to help us prepare to host new residents. The greenhouse gas impact will be minimal. 5. Encourage onsite stormwater retention and infiltration and discourage runoff by restructuring sewer and/or stormwater fee. What is it and why is it important to Cincinnati? Runoff during storm events increases the amount of water entering the sewer system, which can lead to sewer backups and flash flooding. Permeable surfaces allow water to flow through them and into the ground, reducing the burden on the sewer system. Cincinnati’s Sewer District is funded by a charge on each water bill that is a fixed percentage of the water bill. This charge is unrelated to the amount of stormwater generated by a property and gives a landowner no motivation to manage stormwater where it falls. Stormwater fees are a function of the size and use of the property and are unaffected by stormwater retention efforts. Cincinnati will shift to a sewer or stormwater fee based on each property’s impervious surface, or the amount of runoff leaving the property. This will encourage decentralized stormwater solutions.

lease over Block 4 Section 126 Symonston permits the land to be used for “scientific research establishment” including the development of electronic technology, biotechnology or other scientific disciplines for application to commerce, industry or government.” Contrary to strategic planning principles. The development of Block 17 for a Mobile Home Park will, when taken together with the existing caravan parks to the north, have the effect of creating a suburb of low cost housing. This area has not been identified for residential development in any of the relevant ACT strategic planning documents including the Canberra Spatial Plan (CSP). The CSP identifies this area as “future employment corridor”. and specifically not for residential development. Questioned the desirability of concentrating low cost housing in one place, and at a location that is substantially disadvantaged in terms of facilities and service provision. Social planning principles indicate that low cost housing should be distributed through the community close to services and facilities. With an additional 100 plus low cost dwellings at Symonston as an immediate neighbour, TGA are likely to suffer considerable detriment from and social problems. Endangered species habitat will be destroyed. There is a need to prepare a preliminary assessment. rate and social problems of the area and that the TGA are likely to suffer considerable detriment is unsubstantiated. The Draft Amendment to the National Capital Plan does not require referral under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). However, a subsequent development within the same area may trigger referral processes under the EPBC Act by the proponent. The ACT Government’s Land Development Agency in July 2007 made a referral of their proposed servicing works for Block 17 Section 102 Symonston which includes electricity, water, sewerage, vehicular access, stormwater, gas, communications, street lighting and verge works under the EPBC Act 1999 and on 17 August 2007 the Federal Minister for the Environment and Water Resources determined that development of Block 17 Section 102 Symonston is a Controlled Action that requires more detailed environmental investigations to be undertaken. The EPBC Act is not intended to exclude or limit the concurrent operation of any law of a State or Territory. The ACT Government’s responsibility to manage the environment under the ACT Government’s own processes is a matter for the ACT Government.

that each person trying out has a physical and the required immune coverage). Tryouts must be announced at least one week in advance of the first day of the clinic. Prior to the tryout date the coach is responsible for insuring that all candidates meet SCHSL and district eligibility requirements. After the clinic and tryouts, the coach will select the team based on a skill evaluation and grades, and publicize names. Sportsmanship: Good sportsmanship is conduct that imposes a type of self-control involving honest rivalry, courteous relations and graceful acceptance of results. School spirit is a reflection of attitudes and behavior. If a school is to succeed in one of its prime functions that of developing good citizenship, it is necessary that student groups radiate proper sportsmanlike conduct. Sportsmanship is good citizenship in action. The promotion of sportsmanship is a primary responsibility of spirit groups. Spirit squads should always cheer in a positive manner. It is inappropriate to cheer against the other team or to cheer in response to an opposing player’s mistake. Cheers and chants with suggestive words and/or motions will not be used because in many situations they bring about an inappropriate response. Guidelines for Participants: When to Cheer: As your team comes on the floor or field When your team or a player makes an exceptionally fine play. When appropriate, outgoing player and incoming players. As encouragement and tribute to an injured player of your own team. When NOT to cheer When a player is attempting a free throw, the quarterback is calling signals at the line of scrimmage, a server is about to serve in volleyball, etc. When an opposing player makes a mistake or the opposing team is being penalized. When an opposing player is injured. As important announcements are being made over the public-address system. When to Perform: squads should be aware of the time available to perform (i.e., only 60 seconds for a time- out). Appropriate situations for routines are: pre game, between quarters, at half time, during non-injury time-outs and post-game.

Even more health care privatization problems: Private plasma clinics openly defied the government, the Ontario Health Coalition revealed that extra-billing is a widespread practice at private clinics, ORNGE air ambulance used privatization to hide exorbitant executive salaries, a patient died as private surgical clinics escaped proper public regulation, and a contracting-out scandal sank eHealth, forcing the resignation of the Liberal health minister, the eHealth chair, and the eHealth CEO. The Restructuring “Solution”: The PC government may also look to merge and close hospitals. This was a key strategy adopted by the previous PC government of Mike Harris. It merged or closed dozens of hospitals as part of that government’s attempt to cut hospitals. The Auditor General revealed however that the mergers and hospital restructuring actually cost the province $3.2 billion dollars. Despite hopes that these mergers would help them cut spending, the Harris government quietly recognised reality, starting in 1998. By 2000, they quietly completed a U-turn on hospital funding, increasing funding 12.6% in one year. Between 1998 and 2003 (when the PC government was defeated), funding increased on average 7.5% per year. The Health Services Restructuring Commission completed its work and shut down in March 2000. So arguably the fruits of its work might be expected to have been gained in the five following years (including the first full year of Liberal governance). But funding increases averaged 8.7% for the 2000-2004 period. This, needless to say, is not strong evidence that the mergers, closures and restructuring did anything to reduce costs. Provincial Hospital Funding Annual Percentage Increase (or Decrease): 1995 -1.5 1996 1.9 1997 -4.8 1998 5.2 1999 6.1 2000 12.6 2001 3.1 2002 8.4 2003 9.7 2004 9.6 Source: CIHI National Health Expenditure Trends, Table D.4.6.1 Conclusion: Ontario health care and hospital funding is far below the level in other provinces. Since 2009, cuts to real hospital funding have been particularly harsh. Ontario is an outlier in terms of the provision of hospital inpatient services. We have very few hospital beds and as a result, very high bed occupancy. Returning Ontario hospitals like HPHA to levels found in other provinces would result in a very big increase in capacity. Returning to levels in other developed countries would lead to a huge increase in capacity.

Action: Prepare and implement a voluntary agreement on sustainable employment and career development in 2016, will include chapters on youth, older workers (including adaptation to longer careers) and female workers. 4. Education, training and lifelong learning Topic: In order to ensure competitiveness creation it is crucial to have high competence level of all employees at all levels in the sector. Therefore Lifelong Learning has been a topic on the Social Dialogue agenda from day one. Issues regarding innovation and employment have shown that workers will have to keep dealing with change. Giving employees the ability to acquire new skills and qualifications throughout their life in order to adapt to change and possible shifts in their career a major challenge. Goal: The chemical sector wants to support the EU 2020 strategy by developing actions to promote education, training and lifelong learning. With a special focus on youth employment on one side and on active ageing on the other, the sector wants to contribute actively in increasing activity rate in Europe. Actions: An apprenticeship – type training will be developed in a certain number of countries with the aim of improving the technical knowledge and the positive attitude to work for young people The sharing of best practices on the above mentioned apprenticeship will be actively organised The transfer of competences by elderly people during the latest in their career will be promoted. Possible systems of tutoring & mentoring will be explored All these actions will be monitored and evaluated at the end of the roadmap project.

monitoring and reporting. This could also contribute to the improvement of the implementation of environmental legislation. 3.2 General and specific objectives General objective: The contractor shall provide a comprehensive overview of current and past citizen science activities already or potentially contributing to environment policies at EU, national and regional level and, where applicable, some non-EU examples. Lessons (positive or negative, strengths and issues encountered) have to be extracted from the cases identified. Specific objectives: Set up a re-usable format and criteria for an inventory of citizen science activities which support environment policies. Identify and collect the current and past citizen science activities already or potentially contributing to environment policies at EU, national and regional level and, where applicable, some non-EU examples. Describe the most important elements of the identified citizen science activities, to allow further analysis and sharing, using the re-usable format mentioned above. Extract strengths and weaknesses of the identified activities, in particular in of integration of citizens' data into environment policies (for early detection, monitoring and reporting, compliance assurance) but also in terms of citizens’ engagement. 3.3. Tasks Task 1: Information gathering (Months 1-2) The contractor shall identify citizen science activities already or potentially contributing to environment policies at EU, national and regional level and, where applicable, some non-EU examples. EU funded projects (Horizon 2020, Life, Structural Funds, Interreg, COST) shall also be screened for relevant activities. The contractor will collect information through different sources: literature, interviews with citizen science communities (e.g. associations and networks, practitioners) and public authorities (EU, Member States – also in line with the Environment Implementation Review process -, regional authorities) and desk research. The contractor will need to develop a strategy that will allow the identification of all the relevant citizen science activities. As a result of task 1, the contractor will produce a draft list of relevant citizen science activities (Deliverable 2, see below) to be discussed and agreed with the Commission in case prioritisation is needed. Task 2: Detailed inventory (Months 3-4)
Guide tube A tube, typically of flexible construction, designed to provide an enclosed path along which a radioactive source may be moved from its source container to its exposure position and back again. Incident Any unintended event, including operating errors, equipment failures, initiating events, accident precursors, near misses or other mishaps, or unauthorised act, malicious or the consequences or potential consequences of which are not negligible from the point of view of protection and safety. Industrial radiography equipment Ancillary equipment used in industrial radiography such as control cables, guide tubes, collimators, wind out cables, source control mechanisms, and imaging devices. Ionizing radiation For the purposes of radiation protection, radiation capable of producing ion pairs in biological material(s). Open site A radiography site at which, due to operational requirements, the shielding afforded by a fully enclosed site or a partially enclosed site cannot be provided and for which a clearly marked boundary is set up and strict control of access and occupancy is observed. Operator A person who is involve in conducting industrial radiography by operating industrial radiography equipment, exposure containers or radiation generators and who, having successfully completed a suitable course of training, has the approval of the appropriate regulatory authority to do so. Partially enclosed site A radiography site at which all objects exposed to direct radiation are completely contained inside a permanent, shielding enclosure having walls at least 2.1 m high but typically open at the top to permit the transfer in and out of the objects to be radiographed, and within which no person is permitted to remain during exposure. Pipeline crawler A device designed to travel automatically or by remote control through pipes; and which contains either a sealed radioactive source or radiation generator, which is typically used to radiograph pipeline welds through the pipe wall.
