Download or read book Development of a Standard Stormwater Erosion and Sediment Control Training and Certification Program for Contractors of Construction Sites One Acre Or Larger in Desoto County Mississippi written by Susana Cook Martin-Velazquez and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polluted runoff has been widely recognized by environmental scientists and regulators as the single largest threat to water quality in the United States. Contractor training and certification are among the four main Best Management Practices that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends to assist contractors in complying with Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems requirements that regulate construction sites stormwater runoff. The focus of the study is the review of training requirements for construction activities and stormwater permitting requirements in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The review of the various training and certification requirements for the study states indicates the appropriateness and timeliness for the development and implementation of a model standard stormwater, erosion and sediment control training and certification program for contractors of construction sites of one acre or larger in Desoto County Mississippi to minimize stormwater pollution from construction sites.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an expanded and updated edition of a textbook initially published in 2006 and used extensively as a practical reference by engineers in the field and as a textbook by professors of civil engineering. The book covers important recent technical and regulatory advances on how to assess and control runoff from sites being excavated for building and development. In technology, it explains new methods of containment and monitoring, with many original site-based problems and engineering strategies to address them. In particular, it explains the requirements for developing erosion-control plans that meet local, state, and EPA stormwater requirements. Emerging systems for calculating and predicting runoff and its effects are also presented, including the evolving connections between rainfall data and localized erosion. Regulatory changes, such as those to NRCS TR-15, are covered, along with a fuller discussion of U.S. and international standards. In addition, the revised volume contains more problems and projects for civil engineering instructors and students.Note: This volume includes relevant information for civil engineering professors and students, stormwater managers, hydrologists, watershed specialists, municipal water authorities, and county conservation directors.

Book excerpt: "The Murrumbidgee River Hay to Maude Floodplain Management Plan (the FMP) has been prepared to provide strategic guidance to the NSW Government and landholders who are involved in the management of floodwaters on the Murrumbidgee River (Hay to Maude) floodplain. The vision for the FMP is: an environment where flood risk to occupiers and users of the floodplain is minimised and flood dependent ecosystems within the floodplain and on the downstream Lowbidgee floodplain are sustained by access to floodwaters"--Page 1.
Download or read book Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Desk Reference FEMA 345 written by Federal Emergency Management Agency and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is a powerful resource in the combined effort by Federal, State, and local government, as well as private industry and homeowners, to end the cycle of repetitive disaster damage. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act was passed on November 23, 1988, amending Public Law 93-288, the Disaster Relief Act of 1974. The Stafford Act included Section 404, which established the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. In 1993, the Hazard Mitigation and Relocation Act amended Section 404 to increase the amount of HMGP funds available and the cost-share to 75 percent Federal. This amendment also encouraged the use of property acquisition and other non-structural flood mitigation measures. In an effort to streamline HMGP delivery, FEMA encourages States to develop their mitigation programs before disaster strikes. States are adopting a more active HMGP management role. Increased capabilities may include: Conducting comprehensive all-hazard mitigation planning prior to disaster events; Providing applicants technical assistance on sound mitigation techniques and hazard mitigation policy and procedures; Coordinating mitigation programs through interagency teams or councils. Conducting benefit-cost analyses; and Preparing National Environmental Policy Act reviews for FEMA approval. States that integrate the HMGP with their frequently updated State Administrative and Hazard Mitigation Plans will create cohesive and effective approaches to loss reduction. This type of coordinated approach minimizes the distinction between “predisaster” and “post-disaster” time periods, and instead produces an ongoing mitigation effort. Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their effects. A key purpose of the HMGP is to ensure that the opportunity to take critical mitigation measures to protect life and property from future disasters is not lost during the recovery and reconstruction process following a disaster. Program grant funds available under Section 404 of the Stafford Act provide States with the incentive and capability to implement mitigation measures that previously may have been infeasible. The purpose of this Desk Reference is to: Provide comprehensive information about FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP); Increase awareness of the HMGP as an integral part of statewide hazard mitigation efforts; and Encourage deeper commitments and increased responsibilities on the part of all States and communities to reduce damage and losses from natural disasters. This Desk Reference is organized to simplify program information and assist the reader with practical guidance for successful participation in the program. Lists of program-related acronyms and definitions are included, along with appendices that amplify selected aspects of the HMGP. This Desk Reference is organized into 14 sections, each of which presents a major HMGP subject area. In each section, information is presented on the right side of the page. In several sections, job aids containing supplemental material are provided. The job aids for each section can be found at the end of the section. At the front of each section, there is a detailed table of contents to help you locate specific information.
