    ABP Progress and Expenditures Report Pursuant to 2008 Transportation Bond Act Chapter 233 §16 Data is current through 11/15/2015 This progress and expenditure report contains project expenditures incurred as of August 4, 2008 through the report date. This report may not reflect total project cost if the project incurred expenditures prior to August 4, 2008. Column Header Footnotes: 1 PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE - The preliminary estimate is not a performance measure for on-budget project delivery. It is the estimated construction cost value that was included in the November 30, 2008 report to the Legislature pursuant to §19 of Chapter 233 of the Acts of 2008; used for early budgeting purposes only. This “baseline” estimate was established at the inception of the program before many projects were scoped. This estimate included allowances for incidentals for construction such as police details, adjustment for inflation, and reasonable contingencies to account for growth approved by MassHighway/DCR. The Preliminary Estimate did NOT include costs associated with design, right-of-way, force accounts, project oversight, or other program related costs. * Indicates project is one of several that had an incorrect “Preliminary Estimate” and/or scheduled completion, as part of the Chapter 233 §19 Legislative requirement, to provide the estimates and schedules, as part of the 3 year plan of ABP. This Project had actual bid amounts and encumbered amounts, at the time of the filing of the Dec‐08 Legislative Report, but was not properly accounted for in the recording of the Dec‐08 Legislative Report. The Nov/Dec‐08 Conceptual Plan Chapter 233 §19 "Construct Cost" and/or "Completion" in this report reflect the corrected values as approved by the ABP Oversight Council at the March 8, 2010 Quarterly Meeting.

  • Project Number: JYP - 0603
    Project Number: JYP - 0603 PHOSPHORUS LOADING IN QUABOAG POND A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By _________________________ Christopher B. Dobens _________________________ Denise Nicole Marsh _________________________ Kevin Edwards Waugh Date: March 1, 2007 Approved: ______________________________________ Professor Jeanine D. Plummer, Major Advisor 1. TMDL 2. Best Management Practices 3. Quaboag Pond i Abstract Quaboag Pond, located in East Brookfield and Brookfield, MA, is degraded due to excessive phosphorus inputs. Phosphorus leads to increased plant growth and reduced dissolved oxygen levels. The goal of this project was to reduce non-point sources of phosphorus entering Quaboag Pond. Pollution sources were identified along the Sevenmile River in Spencer, the main inlet to Quaboag Pond. Based on test results, buffer strips, diversions and educational programs were recommended to reduce storm flows and pollutant loads. ii Acknowledgements The members of this project group would like to thank the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, the town of Spencer officials, Carter Terenzini, Margaret Bacon, and Virginia Scarlet, and Professor Jeanine Plummer for the assistance and guidance throughout the project. iii Capstone Design Statement The purpose of this project was to provide recommendations to reduce the flow of pollutants, especially phosphorus, into Quaboag Pond which is located in Brookfield and East Brookfield, MA. The high nutrient loading in the pond was leading to eutrophication. The main inlet to the pond is the East Brookfield River, which is fed by the Sevenmile River in Spencer, MA. The town of Spencer received a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Stormwater Permit from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which includes a requirement that the town keep up with “good housekeeping” practices.

  • Coca-Cola Refreshes Loyal Fans with the All-New My Coke Rewards
    February 9, 2015 Coca-Cola Refreshes Loyal Fans with the All-New My Coke Rewards One of the nation’s largest consumer packaged-goods loyalty programs introduces a new look and new approach to rewarding consumers ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VIP access to the hottest events of the season and tropical vacations in the middle of winter can be expensive – unless they’re free. These getaways are just a few ways members could be rewarded for their participation in the all-new My Coke Rewards loyalty program, which launched in late January. To meet the evolving desires and expectations of members, the program has shifted from a traditional, transactional model to a content-based program driven by community and social interaction. Coca-Cola consumers can now engage with snackable, interactive content and activities organized around their personal passions, such as cooking, gaming and fitness, to earn valuable perks. The enhanced focus on content comes with an upgrade to the overall user experience of the program. Members will now enjoy the convenience and ease of a modern interface that is compatible across all mobile devices. With the new My Coke Rewards program, members are rewarded on their terms for sharing content they are passionate about from the devices they use on a daily basis. The introduction of new ways to earn perks comes with an entirely fresh spin on rewards, as well. Members are still able to cash in points for their favorite Coca-Cola beverage coupons and retailer gift cards, but the latest rewards appear in the form of unique, memorable experiences, such as cooking classes with celebrity chefs and premier tickets to sporting events.
