  • 2 Environmental Impacts of Port Development
    2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF PORT DEVELOPMENT Checklists of adverse effects of port development for EIA have been compiled by several organizations including the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the International Association of Ports and Harbors. Based on a review of these checklists, the relationship between factors in port development and their impacts on the environment has been outlined in table 2.1. Major sources of these adverse effects can be categorized into three types: (a) location of port; (b) construction; and (c) port operation, including ship traffic and discharges, cargo handling and storage, and land transport. Location of port connotes the existence of structures or landfills, and the position of the development site. Construction implies construction activities in the sea and on land, dredging, disposal of dredged materials, and transport of construction materials. Port operation includes ship-related factors such as vessel traffic, ship discharges and emissions, spills and leakage from ships; and cargo-related factors such as cargo handling and storage, handling equipment, hazardous materials, waterfront industry discharges, and land transport to and from the port. Environmental facets to be considered in relation to port development are categorized into nine groups: (a) water quality; (b) coastal hydrology; (c) bottom contamination; (d) marine and coastal ecology; (e) air quality; (f) noise and vibration; (g) waste management; (h) visual quality; and (i) socio-cultural impacts. Water quality includes five elements:

  • Guidance for Premise Plumbing Water Service Restoration
    Guidance for Premise Plumbing Water Service Restoration When buildings and homes are vacated, the stagnation of potable water within the premise plumbing can lead to water quality deterioration that may be associated with public health risks. Applicability This guidance offers considerations for water service restoration to minimize risks associated with water quality degradation related to stagnant water. It is applicable to structures regardless of their status of a public water system as defined by Ohio Revised Code Section 6109.01 and Ohio Administrative Code Rule 3745-81-01 and is not meant to restrict any facility or water system’s more comprehensive water management plan or guidance. Water Quality Issues in Closed or Partially used Buildings Buildings and homes are often closed or vacated for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, housing demand, economics, tenant turnover, remodelling, and business or school closures. For example, schools close for summer vacation, office buildings go vacant based on patronage, hospital wings close for remodeling/expansion or lower patient census, and apartment buildings close for renovation. During such vacancies, water usage may decrease or cease causing stagnation in the plumbing leading to water quality degradation. Even in buildings without a history of vacancy, premise plumbing faces several key challenges in the delivery of potable water throughout the building. These challenges include: • High surface area to volume ratio • High water age • Multiple types of plumbing materials Potential Contaminants in Stagnant Waters in Premise Plumbing • Multiple points for cross connections • Temperature gradients • Metals (lead and copper) Building maintenance, regular water usage, and water management • Opportunistic pathogens (Legionella, plans are essential for managing water quality and to decrease the health Pseudomonas, non-tuberculosis risks associated with water quality degradation.

  • Water Stagnation Risks: Guidance for Building Owners and Operators
    Water Stagnation Risks: Guidance for Building Owners and Operators Risks to the Building Water System During the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many buildings, such as office buildings, malls, educational institutions, hotels and motels, have been affected by low or zero occupancy and reduced water flow through the building. Under these conditions, water may stagnate, disinfection residuals decline and water temperatures change, creating environments which may support the growth and proliferation of disease-causing organisms including some types of Legionella and Pseudomonas. Many components of the water system could be at risk of microbial growth including the water service delivery line, the building reservoirs, internal plumbing lines, as well as boilers and hot water lines with low water temperature. Disease-causing organisms, such as Legionella, can be transmitted through the aerosols generated at faucets, showers, toilets, humidifiers and spas as well as from ultrasonic mist machines, decorative fountains and cooling towers. (See the Reference section below for more information on Legionella). Stagnation can also weaken and disrupt the protective scale on the piping and allow trace metals such as lead to leach into the water system. This may create sediment and discolouration in the water and further reduce the levels of chlorine. Responding to the Risk This document is intended to alert building owners and operators to the potential for microbial and chemical risks in water systems in buildings with limited or no occupancy, and to provide general steps on how to reduce those risks and prepare for building re-entry. In Alberta, the municipal drinking water delivered from the water mains has sufficient treatment (filtration and disinfection), levels of disinfectant, low temperatures and flow rates to suppress the growth of disease-causing organisms, and the capacity to inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19 disease.

    INQUIRY INTO TRIBAL SELF- GOVERNANCE IN SANTAL PARGANAS, JHARKHAND By Hasrat Arjjumend INQUIRY INTO TRIBAL SELF-GOVERNANCE IN SANTAL PARGANAS, JHARKHAND by Hasrat Arjjumend Railway Reservation Building 134, Street 17, Zakir Nagar, Okhla Opp. New Friends Colony A-Block New Delhi – 110 025 India Tel: 011-26935452, 9868466401 Fax: +91-11-26936366 E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Web: www.grassrootsglobal.net/git © Hasrat Arjjumend, 2005 PREFACE Period of half a decade in looking closely at the PRIs in the Scheduled Areas of undivided Madhya Pradesh was not less for me to guesstimate the prevalence and interference of bureaucracy and officialdom, and its associated callousness, domination, insensitivity, etc., in the lives of tribes and poor. Nothing significant has ever changed in the tribal villages except that of penetration of party politics, growing de-fragmentation in the families/communities, heavy inflow of funds with least visible impacts, and increasing number of NGOs claiming empowering the gram sabhas. Question now arises, are the tribes the animals for our unprecedented experimentation, or do we respect them as equal human beings deserving to ‘determine themselves’ to rule, to govern their lives and resources? Public institutions, more often unaccountable, of the ‘mainstream’ seem to have dearth of willingness on the later question. Where do we want to land then? Tribal self-rule first and foremost is a peculiar area to understand, to work in. I so far have encountered the civil society actors
