The proposed project includes improvements to the existing wastewater treatment system (treatment system), including replacement of the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), repairs and replacement of pipes and manholes, and other necessary upgrades to the treatment system. Activities are proposed to occur primarily within the limits of Memorial Park, which is near the community of Loma Mar, in unincorporated San Mateo County, California. This document is an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) that analyzes the potential environmental impacts of project implementation, including those resulting from construction and operation of the proposed treatment system improvements. This IS/MND has been prepared in compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 (as amended), and Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Administrative Code.

  • Sunol Wildflower Guide
    Sunol Wildflowers A photographic guide to showy wildflowers of Sunol Regional Wilderness Sorted by Flower Color Photographs by Wilde Legard Botanist, East Bay Regional Park District Revision: February 23, 2007 More than 2,000 species of native and naturalized plants grow wild in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most are very difficult to identify without the help of good illustrations. This is designed to be a simple, color photo guide to help you identify some of these plants. The selection of showy wildflowers displayed in this guide is by no means complete. The intent is to expand the quality and quantity of photos over time. The revision date is shown on the cover and on the header of each photo page. A comprehensive plant list for this area (including the many species not found in this publication) can be downloaded at the East Bay Regional Park District’s wild plant download page at: http://www.ebparks.org. This guide is published electronically in Adobe Acrobat® format to accommodate these planned updates. You have permission to freely download and distribute, and print this pdf for individual use. You are not allowed to sell the electronic or printed versions. In this version of the guide, only showy wildflowers are included. These wildflowers are sorted first by flower color, then by plant family (similar flower types), and finally by scientific name within each family. Under each photograph are four lines of information, based on the current standard wild plant reference for California: The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, 1993. Common Name These non-standard names are based on Jepson and other local references.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Utilities and Service Systems
    3.19 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS This section of the Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) describes the existing utilities and service systems in the SCAG region, identifies the regulatory framework with respect to laws and regulations that affect utilities and service systems, and analyzes the potential impacts of the Connect SoCal Plan (“Connect SoCal”; “Plan”). In addition, this PEIR provides regional-scale mitigation measures as well as project-level mitigation measures to be considered by lead agencies for subsequent, site-specific environmental review to reduce identified impacts as appropriate and feasible. 3.19.1 DEFINITIONS To provide a context for analysis, definitions of terms used in the regulatory framework, characterization of baseline conditions, and impact analysis for utilities and service systems are provided below. Nonhazardous Municipal Solid Waste: More commonly known as trash or garbage—consists of everyday items that are used and then thrown away, such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries. This comes from homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses. Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB): There are nine RWQCBs in California. The RWQCBs protect ground and surface water quality and are responsible for implementing Water Quality Control Plans.1 Sanitary Landfill: Sanitary landfills are sites where waste is isolated from the environment until it is safe. It is considered safe when it has completely degraded biologically, chemically and physically. Septic Tank: An underground vessel for treating wastewater from a single dwelling or building by a combination of settling and anaerobic digestion. Effluent is usually disposed of through a dispersal system which consists of one or a combination of leach fields, seepage pits, and/or subsurface drip dispersal system.

  • SUEZ Signs New Agreement for Industrial Wastewater Treatment Services to Expand Environmental Business to Fujian Province
    China, 13 May, 2021 SUEZ Signs New Agreement for Industrial Wastewater Treatment Services to Expand Environmental Business to Fujian Province SUEZ through its joint venture1 recently signed an agreement with Shaowu, Fujian Province to acquire 51% equity in Shaowu Wujiatang Wastewater Treatment Company Limited. Under this agreement, the joint venture will be responsible for the operation, management and technological re-engineering of the wastewater treatment plant in Jintang Industrial Park of Shaowu, to provide high quality industrial wastewater treatment services for Jintang Industrial Park and adjacent townships. This move will also facilitate protection of the local river ecosystem. Shaowu, a city in Nanping, lies in the north of Fujian province. The Futun river, one of three major river systems on the upper reaches of the Minjiang river, runs across Jintang Industrial Park in Shaowu. Thanks to abundant fluorite resources, Jintang Industrial Park was built to develop the local fluorine chemical industry. While the development supports restructuring of the manufacturing sector and product upgrades, it has more demanding requirements for the industrial park’s wastewater treatment services. The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Phase Ⅰ of Shaowu Wujiatang Wastewater Treatment Company Limited, which is in Jintang Industrial Park, provides wastewater treatment services exclusively for the park. The WWTP has a long-term treatment capacity target of 60,000 m3/day and a near-term target of 20,000 m3/day. The near-term target is expected to be achieved through expansion, by 2025. The WWTP’s current Phase I treatment capacity is 10,000 m3/day. Chemical wastewater often features complex composition, high salinity, toxic substances, low biodegradability, and fluctuating effluent quality.
