Innlegg v/ Gorm Gullberg (Rygge kommune) – Opprydding i spredt avløp i Morsa Vannområde Morsa ligger nesten utelukkende under marin grense og består av 8 kommuner der innsjøen Vansjø er hovedresipient, som også er drikkevannskilde. Innsjøen har tidvis hatt omfattende algeoppblomstringsproblematikk med etterfølgende badeforbud. Status for Morsas 2000 spredte avløpsanlegg ble kartlagt av UMB studenter i 1997- 1999. Dataene ble lagt inn i WebGis Avløp. Det viste seg at mer enn 50 % av anleggene ikke fungerte tilfredsstillende. Morsa utarbeidet en tiltaksanalyse i 2001, som ble et meget viktig dokument i det videre arbeidet.

  • Introduction the Waldegrave Initiative Is the Name Given to a Policy Introduced in 1992 by Lord Waldegrave, an English Conservat
    Introduction The Waldegrave Initiative is the name given to a policy introduced in 1992 by Lord Waldegrave, an English Conservative politician who served in the British Cabinet from 1990 – 1997. Under this policy, all government departments were encouraged to re-examine what had been previously regarded as particularly sensitive records, with the objective of declassifying a greater quantity of information. This initiative is widely regarded as the precursor to the UK’s Freedom of Information Act 2000, and it set a precedent of declassification across Western democracies. The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was a secret British organisation formed 22 July 1940 by Winston Churchill to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in occupied Europe against the Axis powers as well as to aid local resistance movements. As Mark Seaman put it, the SOE was formed to “foster occupied Europe’s resistance groups” and ensure that “Nazi occupation wasn’t an easy thing”.1 It operated in all countries or former countries occupied by or attacked by the Axis forces, except where demarcation lines were agreed with Britain's principal allies – namely the Soviet Union and the United States of America. Initially it was also involved in the formation of the Auxiliary Units, a top secret "stay-behind" resistance organisation, which would have been activated in the event of a German invasion of mainland Britain.2 To those who were part of the SOE or liaised with it, it was sometimes referred to as "the Baker Street Irregulars" (after the location of its London headquarters). It was also known as "Churchill's Secret Army" or the "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare".

  • Ullensaker Kommune
    Kartlegging av radon i Ullensaker kommune Radon 2000/2001 Vinteren 2000/2001 ble det gjennomført en fase 1-kartlegging av radon i inneluft i Ullensaker kommune, i forbindelse med den landsomfattende undersøkelsen ”Radon 2000/2001”. En andel på 4 % av kommunens husstander deltok i kartleggingen, og det ble funnet at 3 % av disse har en radonkonsentrasjon som er høyere enn anbefalt tiltaksnivå på 200 Bq/m3 luft. Deler av Ullensaker har et radonproblem, og anbefalt oppfølging av kommunen kan deles i tre kategorier avhengig av problemomfang. I området rundt Kværndalen er flere enn 20 % av målingene over 200 Bq/m3, noe som tilsier en høy sannsynlighet for forhøyde radonverdier. Statens strålevern anbefaler oppfølgende målinger i alle boliger som har leilighet eller oppholdsrom i 1. etasje eller underetasje i dette området. I et større område rundt Jessheim viser mellom 5 % og 20 % av målingene verdier over tiltaksgrensen, og sannsynligheten for forhøyde radonverdier er middels høy. Kommunen anbefales å gjøre oppfølgende målinger i utvalgte boliger i dette området. Det samme gjelder for Kløfta, hvor sannsynligheten for forhøyde radonverdier også er middels høy. På Nordkisa og Algarheim er under 5 % av målingene over tiltaksgrensen, og sannsynligheten for forhøyde radonverdier er lav. Anbefalt oppfølging kan her begrenses til generell informasjon og veiledning. I de resterende delene av kommunen er det ikke utført noen målinger, og det kan derfor ikke gis noen anbefalninger om videre oppfølging for disse områdene.
