  • TSD: Chapter 36 Final Round 3 Area Designations for the 2010 1-Hour
    Technical Support Document: Chapter 36 Final Round 3 Area Designations for the 2010 1-Hour SO2 Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Puerto Rico 1. Summary Pursuant to section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA, we, or us) must designate areas as either “nonattainment,” “attainment,” or “unclassifiable” for the 2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) primary national ambient air quality 1 standard (NAAQS) (2010 SO2 NAAQS). Our Notice of Availability (NOA) and our Technical Support Document2 (TSD) for our intended designations for the round of designations we are required to complete by December 31, 2017, provided background on the relevant CAA definitions and the history of the designations for this NAAQS. Chapter 1 of this TSD for the final designations explains the definitions we are applying in the final designations. The TSD for the intended Round 3 area designations also described Puerto Rico’s recommended designations, assessed the available relevant monitoring, modeling, and any other information, and provided our intended designations. This TSD for the final Round 3 area designations for Puerto Rico addresses any change in Puerto Rico’s recommended designations since we communicated our intended designations for areas in Puerto Rico. It also provides our assessment of additional relevant information that were submitted too close to the signature of the NOA to have been considered in our intended designations, or that have been submitted by Puerto Rico or other parties since the publication of the NOA. This TSD does not repeat information contained in the TSD for our intended designations except as needed to explain our assessment of the newer information and to make clear the final action we are taking and its basis, but that information is incorporated as part of our final designations.

  • Gay Guide to Puerto Rico
    APPENDIX D: GAY GUIDE TO PUERTO RICO Also please see our website www.PuertoRicoGayVacation.com Please email me any updates or additional information to [email protected] so we can keep the below info as up to date as possible. ! GAY LIFE: Puerto Rico is one of the most gay friendly of all Caribbean islands. Gay marriage and adoption is legal in Puerto Rico (see Ricky Martin). The two large Pride parades (one in Condado and one in Cabo Rojo) are well attended annually. Condado, Ocean Park, Santurce and Rio Piedras are the biggest “gayborhoods” though there are bars in Old San Juan as well. You should feel at ease with your partner on any beach, but particularly the Ocean Park beaches. The island of Vieques is also a gay haven. That being said, Puerto Rico is a very Catholic area and being gay is not always accepted. It may be best to use caution if you travel to any of the smaller cities/villages or leave the San Juan area. ! HEALTH CLINIC/HIV TESTING: Free instant HIV tests are available upon request at the walgreens clinic during normal hours (inside Walgreens). This takes about 30 minutes total. ! PRIDE: San Juan/Condado: Always in June. Typically news of the date is not available until late. The parade is always on Sunday about noon. Parties start usually the Thursday prior and continue through the weekend. The parade starts around noonish (island time) at Parque Indio and goes until Parque Escambron. After parties are at the beach of Atlantic Beach Hotel or other venues and clubs.

  • San Juan Harbor Mitigation Project, Draft FONSI and EA, 23 May 2014, Puerto Rico
    SAN JUAN HARBOR SUBMERGED AQUATIC VEGETATION MITIGATION PROJECT, SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT f.'Z"f.'' ~.:..:!.!.~ U.S. Army Corps of Engineers May 2014 Jacksonville District This page intentionally left blan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mitigation is required as a result of widening the Puerto Nuevo Channel in San Juan Harbor, which impacted an estimated 1.2 acres of sea grass (Halophila decipiens) and marine macro- algae. The mitigation originally proposed involved raising the bottom elevation of a portion of San Juan Harbor to support sea grass. This mitigation plan presents (among other concerns) engineering concerns over the confinement of the material used for raising the elevation. Extensive and costly structures would be needed to contain the material and prevent migration of material into the navigation channel. The new mitigation proposal would involve filling of approximately 4 acres (including side slopes) of certain dredged holes in the nearby Condado Lagoon with approximately 46,000 cubic yards of suitable material to a depth of -12 feet to -15 feet resulting in 1.2 acres at an elevation suitable for sea grass. The fill material would come from the recently shoaled areas of the La Esperanza Ecosystem Restoration project located along the western shore of San Juan Bay. An alternative borrow source would be the San Antonio channel in San Juan Harbor. In La Esperanza, one borrow source would be the north-facing opening into San Juan Bay. The east-facing opening could also provide some material if needed. See enclosed maps and drawings for additional details. Both of these areas have experienced substantial shoaling since the completion of the La Esperanza Ecosystem Restoration Project on May 20, 2005.

  • Tren Urbano Light Rail Project; San Juan, PR 2008
    Tren Urbano Heavy Rail Project Before-and-After Study (2008) San Juan, Puerto Rico Learn more: www.transit.dot.gov/before-and-after-studies Federal Transit Administration August 2007 2.1 Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority– Tren Urbano Light Rail Project Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (PRHTA) and FTA signed an FFGA in March 1996 for the 10.7 mile double track heavy rail system. An amended FFGA was signed in July 1999 and increased the number of stations by 2 for a total of 16 and the number of rail vehicles by 10 for a total of 74, with an anticipated revenue operations date of May, 2002. From 1999 to 2004, total estimated project cost increased from $1.65 billion to $2.25 billion. Thus, in 2000 amid concerns about schedule, costs and project management, FTA and OIG required PRHTA to submit a Recovery Plan. However, as of 2004, FTA and OIG had not been able to approve of the cost recovery plan causing PRHTA to absorb the rise in construction costs locally. Consequently, no additional federal funds were obligated after the 1999 FFGA amendment. In May 2002 FTA approved an extension of the Revenue Operations Date to June 30, 2004. The project opened for revenue service on December 17, 2004. 2.1.1 Project Background Rail transit has been considered in the San Juan region since 1967 when a 27-mile, 2 route heavy rail system was proposed in the Regional Transportation Study. A feasibility study conducted in 1979 proposed a one line 14-mile heavy rail alternative that incorporated aerial structures, underground and at grade segments into a route that traversed from Miramar to Bayamon and was dubbed the “Bayamon Crescent.” This project was approved into the Regional Transportation Plan in 1982.

The TSP for the Puerto Rico Coastal study consists of a combination of structural features in specific locations designed to reduce the risk of damages as a result of wave attack, coastal flooding, and erosion in the Condado Pocket Beach, Punta Piedrita Headland, Ocean Park Pocket Beach, west side of Punta Las Marias, and Rincon B planning reaches. At this point in the study, The TSP includes: . Beach nourishment (1,910 ft) along Condado Pocket Beach shoreline; . Stone revetment on Punta Piedrita headland (2,450 ft) . A breakwater field in combination of Beach nourishment protecting 6,810 ft along the Ocean Park Pocket Beach shoreline; . Stone revetment on west side of Punta Las Marias headland (1,400 ft); . Stone revetment (5,650 ft) along the Rincon shoreline The current cost share estimates are based on policy guidance provided by Engineer Regulations (ER) 1105-2-100, Appendix E and ER 1165-2-130. Cost sharing for this project is determined by section 103(c)(5) of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986, which establishes a 65/35 (federal/non-federal) cost share for coastal storm risk management, except for private undeveloped shores or shorelines limited to private use. WRDA 1999 changed the cost sharing policy, previously provided by WRDA 1986, by setting a maximum federal share of periodic nourishment, carried out after 1 January 2003, to 50% for projects authorized for construction after 31 December 1999.
