Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July of 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) activated the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDLs) provisions of the Clean Water Act. As the first river in Oregon to implement TMDL regulations, people and agencies in the Tualatin basin face many challenges. Non-point source pollution affects water quality in the Tualatin River and comes from various sources. This research focuses on urban home and yard maintenance practices. During 2002, I examined Best Management Practices (BMPs) that have been established for urban residents by water quality and conservation agencies. Employing a range of qualitative and quantitative methods, factors surrounding agency BMP adoption and agency goals for urban residential practices are investigated. Observation of actual home and yard maintenance styles are correlated with residents' explanation of maintenance styles and residents' expression of environmental and other values. In-depth interview and content analysis of websites and pamphlets show agency preferences which push for: low input lawns and yards, a realization of the environmental impacts of individual maintenance styles, and recognition of benefits of clean water to humans and the environment. Results from a survey of residents (n=98), direct observation (n= 183), and short interviews (n=22) suggest the presence of behaviors harmful to water quality and conservation efforts. Harmful behaviors appear to be supported by the importance of neighborhood appearance, a desire to protect property values, and a tendency to want to balance economic considerations and environmental consequences. Although agency goals include behavioral and value change, the lack of concern for environmental impact of maintenance styles in the survey population suggests the need for alternative educational efforts. A focus on non-environmental benefits of low input yard designs and maintenance that also promote neighborhood beauty will be key to the reduction of urban residential non-point source pollution in the Tualatin watershed.

This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Creation of Markets for Ecosystem Services in the United States is a detailed analysis of the most advanced efforts to create markets for ecosystem services in the United States. With the help of in-depth case studies of three well-known attempts to create such markets––in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the Ohio River basin and the Willamette River basin––the book explains why very few of these markets have actually succeeded even after close to two decades of much scholarly enthusiasm, significant federal funding and concerted efforts by NGOs, government agencies and private businesses. Based on interviews, policy analysis and participatory observation, three features of markets for ecosystem services emerge as particularly problematic. First, the logic of displacement or the idea that particular elements of an ecosystem can be separated and traded across landscapes or watersheds runs counter to political interests, environmental beliefs and people's connections to specific places. The second problem is that of measurement. Quantification methods embed a range of often contentious assumptions and decisions about what counts when restoring ecosystems. The third problem is related to participation in environmental decision-making.
Download or read book International River Water Quality written by Gerry Best and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-08-07 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of papers presented at the 2nd International River Quality Symposium. The papers give case studies of the quality of rivers in different parts of the world, focusing particularly on the polluted Vistula River in Poland and the revived Will amette River in Oregon, USA which was the subject of a major cleaning operation in the 1970s. The book provides valuable information on the quality of rivers in Eastern Europe, particulary Poland. It is timely since, with the collapse of communism, Eastern European countries are faced with tackling huge environmental problems created by the lack of investment in environmental technology. The situation in Poland is contrasted with the USA and UK where water pollution problems have largely been overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-World War II Oregon was a place of optimism and growth, a spectacular natural region from ocean to high desert that seemingly provided opportunity in abundance. With the passing of time, however, Oregon’s citizens — rural and urban — would find themselves entangled in issues that they had little experience in resolving. The same trees that provided income to timber corporations, small mill owners, loggers, and many small towns in Oregon, also provided a dramatic landscape and a home to creatures at risk. The rivers whose harnessing created power for industries that helped sustain Oregon’s growth — and were dumping grounds for municipal and industrial wastes — also provided passageways to spawning grounds for fish, domestic water sources, and recreational space for everyday Oregonians. The story of Oregon’s accommodation to these divergent interests is a divisive story between those interested in economic growth and perceived stability and citizens concerned with exercising good stewardship towards the state’s natural resources and preserving the state’s livability. In his second volume of Oregon’s environmental history, William Robbins addresses efforts by individuals and groups within and outside the state to resolve these conflicts. Among the people who have had roles in this process, journalists and politicians Richard Neuberger and Tom McCall left substantial legacies and demonstrated the ambiguities inherent in the issues they confronted.
