  • Managing Storm Water Runoff
    Managing Storm Water Runoff Storm water runoff is coming under increasing scrutiny as both a source of pollutants to our lakes and streams, and as a cause of depleted groundwater resources. Commercial parcels A Self-Assessment typically create more runoff per square foot than other land uses, due mostly to large areas of Guide for Wisconsin impervious surfaces such as roofs Businesses and parking lots. This guide provides businesses with the ability to evaluate and improve their existing storm water management practices, and ultimately lead to improved water quality. It begins with a brief description of the extent of the problem, and information on storm water management, with an emphasis on how you as a business can contribute to solving this problem. After working through the runoff self-assessment process, you will be able to evaluate the options available for improving storm water management activities, making sound business decisions about improving your property, and adding value to your enterprise. Urban Growth and the Storm Water Problems Under natural, undeveloped conditions, storm water filters into the soil through openings created by plants and soil animals. In most areas, erosion was stabilized by plant roots, and the water that reached lakes and rivers was cool and clear. As urbanization progressed, the increase of impervious surfaces such as roofs and roadways combined with soil disturbance and compaction to interrupt natural infiltration by diverting runoff directly to surface waters. This resulted in increased flows, eroded soils, and runoff that carried nutrients and other pollutants to lakes and steams. Over time, cities established storm drain systems to prevent erosion and flooding and convey runoff directly to surface waters.

THE ANTITRUST IMPLICATIONS OF COMPUTER RESERVATIONS SYSTEMS (CRS's) DEREK SAUNDERS THE PASSAGE of the Airline Deregulation Act' dramat- ically altered the airline industry. Market forces, rather than government agencies, 2 began to regulate the indus- try. The transition, however, has not been an easy one. Procedures and relationships well suited to a regulated in- dustry are now viewed as outdated, onerous, and even anticompetitive. The current conflict over carrier-owned computer res- ervation systems (CRS's) represents one instance of these problems.3 The air transportation distribution system re- lies heavily on the use of CRS's, particularly since deregu- lation and the resulting increase in airline activity. 4 One I Pub.

  • Long Beach Transit and Flixbus Partner to Provide Affordable, Long-Distance Transportation New Service to Las Vegas Starts March 21
    CONTACT: Michael Gold Public Information Officer, Long Beach Transit 562.599.8534 (office) 562.444.5309 (cell) [email protected] Julie Alvarez, FlixBus 213.378.3917 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Long Beach Transit and FlixBus Partner to Provide Affordable, Long-Distance Transportation New Service to Las Vegas starts March 21 LONG BEACH, CALIF. (March 14, 2018) – Long Beach Transit today announced a partnership with FlixBus to provide affordable bus service to Las Vegas starting March 21. FlixBus, a European-based mobility company, selected Long Beach as one of its hubs for travel to add to its growing network of destinations. “Long Beach impressed us with its diversity, energy and very progressive transit policy. It’s probably the most FlixBus-compatible community in California,” said Pierre Gourdain, Managing Director for FlixBus USA. “We are thrilled to start the route there and looking to add many more connections in the future.” Utilizing LBT’s downtown First Street Transit Gallery between Long Beach Blvd. and Pine Avenue, customers can take FlixBus to Las Vegas by purchasing tickets through the FlixBus app or website. Customers can also buy tickets at LBT’s Transit and Visitor Information Center. FlixBus will also offer service to Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals in April. “Our partnership with FlixBus is another example of LBT connecting communities, both locally and beyond,” said LBT President and CEO, Kenneth McDonald. “Now, LBT customers can catch a bus to the Transit Gallery and then explore destinations outside California.” Most of LBT’s buses connect to the Transit Gallery. In addition, customers can connect to other destinations outside the area through the Los Angeles Metro Blue Line, FlyAway service to Los Angeles International Airport and through connections to Long Beach Airport.
