Download or read book Identification of Weather Deck Runoff Discharge Constituents written by Mary L. Wenzel and published by . This book was released on 2001-03 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 325 of the 1996 National Defense Authorization Act, "Discharges from Vessels of the Armed Forces," requires the Navy to comply with Uniform National Discharge Standards (UNDS) to control the overboard discharge of incidental wastewaters from ships of the Armed Forces. The regulatory development process is organized into three phases: During Phase I of the UNDS rulemaking process, all discharges incidental to the normal operation of an Armed Forces vessel were identified. The discharges were characterized as requiring or not requiring control based on the discharges potential to cause an adverse environmental impact. During the current phase, Phase l the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Defense (DoD), in consultation with the U. S. Coast Guard (USOG), the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce, other interested federal agencies and interested states, are jointly promulgating Marine Pollution Control Device (MPCD) performance standards for each discharge determined to require control in Phase During Phase III, DoD, in consultation with EPA and USCG will promulgate regulations governing the design, construction, installation, and use of MPCDs onboard vessels of the Armed Forces to meet the performance standards promulgated in Phase II. It was determined, during Phase I of the UNDS rulemaking process, that weather deck runoff requires a marine pollution control device to control the discharge. At the direction of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA OSLI 3), representatives from Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and AMSEC LLC conducted shipboard assessments aboard 13 U. S. Navy and U. S. Coast Guard ships representing 9 ship classes to identify constituents that have the potential to contribute to weather deck runoff. The data obtained during the assessments will be used to develop the MPCD for weather deck runoff.

Download or read book NPDES Storm Water Sampling Guidance Document written by Washington Us Epa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-02-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NPDES Storm Water Sampling Guidance Document provides a comprehensive description of basic sampling requirements for NPDES storm water discharge permit applications and offers procedural guidance on how to conduct sampling. Many of the procedures in this manual are also applicable to the sampling requirements contained in NPDES storm water permits. Topics covered include background information and a summary of permit application requirements, the fundamentals of sampling (including obtaining flow data, handling samples, and sending them to the lab), analytical considerations, regulatory flexibility regarding storm water sampling, and health and safety considerations. This book will be a cornerstone of NPDES compliance for wastewater treatment plant managers and supervisors, consultants, laboratories, lab managers and chemists, regulators, current NPDES permit holders, and anyone applying for an NPDES permit.

This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Download or read book Oil in the Sea III written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-03-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s, experts have recognized that petroleum pollutants were being discharged in marine waters worldwide, from oil spills, vessel operations, and land-based sources. Public attention to oil spills has forced improvements. Still, a considerable amount of oil is discharged yearly into sensitive coastal environments. Oil in the Sea provides the best available estimate of oil pollutant discharge into marine waters, including an evaluation of the methods for assessing petroleum load and a discussion about the concerns these loads represent. Featuring close-up looks at the Exxon Valdez spill and other notable events, the book identifies important research questions and makes recommendations for better analysis ofâ€"and more effective measures againstâ€"pollutant discharge. The book discusses: Inputâ€"where the discharges come from, including the role of two-stroke engines used on recreational craft. Behavior or fateâ€"how oil is affected by processes such as evaporation as it moves through the marine environment. Effectsâ€"what we know about the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on marine organisms and ecosystems. Providing a needed update on a problem of international importance, this book will be of interest to energy policy makers, industry officials and managers, engineers and researchers, and advocates for the marine environment.
