  • Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Operation and Management Workbook
    MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT WORKBOOK Revised April 2018 Preface In many ways, constructing, operating and maintaining a municipal solid waste landfill is similar to constructing, operating, and maintaining a highway, dam, canal, bridge, or other engineered structure. The most important similarity is that landfills, like other engineered structures, must be constructed and operated in a manner that will provide safe, long-term, and reliable service to the communities they serve. Proper design, construction, operation, monitoring, closure and post-closure care are critical because after disposal the waste can be a threat to human health and the environment for decades to centuries. This workbook is intended to provide municipal landfill operators and managers in Wyoming with the fundamental knowledge and technical background necessary to ensure that landfills are operated efficiently, effectively, and in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. This workbook contains information regarding basic construction and operation activities that are encountered on a routine basis at most landfills. The basic procedures and fundamental elements of landfill permitting, construction management, monitoring, closure, post-closure care, and financial assurance are also addressed. The workbook includes informative tips and information that landfill operators and managers can use to conserve landfill space, minimize the potential for pollution, reduce operating costs, and comply with applicable rules and regulations. In addition to this workbook, operators and managers need to become familiar with the Wyoming Solid Waste Rules and Regulations applicable to municipal solid waste. The DEQ also provides numerous guidelines that may help understand regulatory requirements in more detail.

  • Urbanization As a Threat to Biodiversity: Trophic Theory, Economic Geography, and Implications for Conservation Land Acquisition
    Proceedings of a Symposium at the Society for Conservation Biology 2004 Annual Meeting URBANIZATION AS A THREAT TO BIODIVERSITY: TROPHIC THEORY, ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION LAND ACQUISITION Brian Czech1 ABSTRACT—Habitat loss is often cited as the primary cause of species endangerment in the United States, followed by invasive species, pollution, and direct take. Urbanization, one type of habitat loss, is the leading cause of species endangerment in the contiguous United States and entails a relatively thorough transformation from the “economy of nature” to the human economy. Principles of economic geography indicate that urbanization will continue as a function of economic growth, while principles of conservation biology indicate that the most thorough competitive exclusion occurs in urban areas. These findings suggest the need for an ecologically macroeconomic approach to conservation land acquisition strategies. “Habitat loss” is often cited as the primary cause of species these types of habitat loss are considered separate causes of endangerment in the United States, followed by invasive species endangerment, invasive species are identified as the species, pollution, disease, and direct take.

  • Standard Procedures for Establishing and Evaluating Air Pollution Biomonitoring Gardens in National Park Units
    DRAFT STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR ESTABLISHING AND EVALUATING AIR POLLUTION BIOMONITORING GARDENS IN NATIONAL PARK UNITS National Park Service Air Quality Division P.O. Box 25287 Denver, CO 80225 Contacts: Kenneth W. Stolte James P. Bennett Tel: 303-236-8770 FTS: 776-8770 August, 1985 2 BIOMONITORING GARDENS Introduction The Air Quality Division of the National Park Service has been actively researching the extent and severity of air pollution injury in park units since 1979. Air quality studies conducted in 1984 revealed that plant species in many park units were injured by air pollution, primarily O3 and S02« The large area that many park units comprise makes it difficult and expensive to frequently evaluate biomonitoring plots scattered throughout the parks. Additionally, only a small percentage of each park flora has been experimen­ tally tested for air pollution sensitivity. Consequently the air pollution sensitivity of most of each park flora is relatively unknown. Bioindicator species of known or suspected pollutant sensitivity should be co-located with ambient air quality monitoring stations so that the pollutant response of the indicator species can be correlated with ambient pollution concentrations. A planting of air pollutant sensitive species in a common area, preferably near an ambient pollutant monitoring station, is termed a biomonitoring garden. Biomonitoring gardens can be established to: (1) relate ambient pollution levels with visible injury thresholds for species of known pollutant sensi­ tivity; (2) serve as a convenient, easily accessible grouping of native park species of known or suspected air pollution sensitivity; (3) provide a habitat where colonizing native species can be ranked for sensitivity to ambient air pollution.

  • Air Pollution and Criminal Activity: Microgeographic Evidence from Chicago
    Air Pollution and Criminal Activity: Microgeographic Evidence from Chicago By EVAN HERRNSTADT,ANTHONY HEYES,ERICH MUEHLEGGER AND ∗ SOODEH SABERIAN A growing literature documents that air pollution adversely impacts health, productivity, and cognition. This paper provides the first ev- idence of a causal link between air pollution and aggressive behavior, as documented by violent crime. Using the geolocation of crimes in Chicago from 2001-2012, we compare crime upwind and downwind of major highways on days when wind blows orthogonally to the road. Consistent with research linking pollution to aggression, we find air pollution increases violent crime on the downwind sides of interstates. Our results suggest that pollution may reduce welfare and affect behav- ior through a wider set of channels than previously considered. JEL: Q50 - Q53 Keywords: Air Pollution, Crime Air pollution harms human well-being in a number of ways. Pollution has adverse effects on adult and infant health in the short-run and long-run1, re- duces productivity and labor market participation2, impairs short-run cognition and lowers test scores3 and induces avoidance behavior4. This paper adds a new dimension to the literature on the adverse effects of pollution by providing quasi-experimental evidence that air pollution affects violent criminal activity, a behavior that is particularly costly from a societal perspective. We study crime in the city of Chicago from 2001 to 2012. Our identification strategy exploits variation in pollution driven by daily changes in wind direc- tion. We begin by illustrating the relationship between crime and pollution at the city-level, using wind direction as an instrument for pollution.

    Editors' note: 90 I.D. 382 MOSCH MINING CO. IBLA 83-369 Decided August 18, 1983 Appeal from decision of the Canon City District Office, Colorado Bureau of Land Management, offering right-of-way grant and requiring payment of fair market value. C-34657. Set aside and remanded. 1. Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976: Generally--Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976: Surface Management Sec. 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 vests in the Secretary the responsibility to prevent unnecessary or undue degradation of the public lands. It also preserves a mining claimant's right of ingress and egress. Consequently, the grant of a right-of-way, which is directionary under the Act, is not the proper method of regulating a mining claimant's access in conjunction with surface management to prevent undue degradation. Rather, questions of access to mining claims are properly resolved under the surface management regulations at 43 CFR Subpart 3809 which were promulgated pursuant to sec. 302 and specifically address mineral entry, access, and operations. 75 IBLA 153 IBLA 83-369 APPEARANCES: Alvin Mosch for appellant. OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE MULLEN Mosch Mining Company (Mosch) has appealed from a decision dated January 4, 1983, by the Canon City District Office, Colorado, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), offering right-of-way grant C-34657 and requiring payment of fair market value therefor.
