    Aurland kommune Helse og førebygging Aurland, 01.06.2018 Helse Førde Vår ref. Dykkar ref. Sakshandsamar Arkiv 2018000533-3 Guri Olsen, K2 - G00 Høyringsuttale frå Aurland kommune - Prosjekt prehospitale tenester - fase 1 Vedlagt følgjer høyringsuttale frå Aurland kommune, kommunestyret 31.05.18. KS- vedtak sak 037/18: Gode prehospitale tenester er viktigfor at våre innbyggjarar skal kjenne seg trygge. Slik det er no, so er responstida på ambulansen i Aurland altfor dårleg. Det tek 43,7 minutt å nå 90% av innbyggjarane, og i 64% av akuttilfella nådde ikkje ambulansen fram innan 25 min. Dette er hhv. tredje dårlegast og nest dårlegast i fylket. Aurland er ein liten kommune i folketal med sine knappe 1800 innbyggjarar, men det er store mengder besøkjande og gjennomgangstrafikk her. Flåmsbana åleine har 1 million reisande pr år, me har E16 og FV50 med stor gjennomgangstrafikk, ca 150 cruiseskip i sommarhalvåret i tillegg til mange andre rute- og turistbåtar, fullbooka campingplassar og hotell, mange fotturistar og syklande i Aurlandsdalen, Flåmsdalen, Rallarvegen osv.. Me har mange tunnelar som gir ekstra utfordringar i høve tryggleik og ulukker. Bl.a. so vil ei stenging i Lærdalstunnelen kunne føre til at ambulanse frå Lærdal ikkje kjem seg til oppdrag i Aurland, og næraste ambulanse er då Voss som er 1 time unna. Det er ikkje forsvarleg å ikkje ha ambulanse stasjonert i Aurland, og i samband med "Prosjekt prehospitale tenester" krev Aurland at det vert lagt opp til ambulanse fast stasjonert i Aurland. Det er ikkje forsvarleg å erstatta ambulansetenester med akutthjelparordning. Akutthjelparordninga må ikkje organiserast slik at kostnaden vert flytta frå Helse Førde til kommunane.

  • Aurland - Sogndal Samfunnsøkonomisk Analyse
    April 2018 Aurland - Sogndal Samfunnsøkonomisk analyse i Notat Dokumentet sendes til: Saksbehandler/Adm. enhet: Offentlig Eivind A. Fossland /UPØ Karin Løvebrant Væstermark /UPM Tilhørende prosjektnummer: 10167 Ansvarlig/Adm. enhet: Tilhørende prosjektnavn: Aurland–Sogndal Anders Kringstad /UPM Oppgradering 420 kV Carl-Petter Haugland /UPØ Underlag til: Konsesjonssøknad Dokument ID: 2770414 Dato: 02.05.2018 i Sammendrag Vi anbefaler en ny 420 kV forbindelse på Aurland-Sogndal Denne analysen viser at det er lønnsomt å øke kapasiteten på forbindelsen Aurland-Sogndal i vårt forventningsscenario. Anbefalt løsningsvalg er en ny 420 kV luftledning. Økt utbygging av ny fornybar kraftproduksjon nord for Sognefjorden og de nye mellomlandsforbindelsene til Storbritannia og Tyskland vil øke flaskehalsen på dagens forbindelse. Vi forventer at dette vil gi større prisforskjeller nord og sør for fjorden og økt antall timer med nullpris og vanntap i våte år. Det er også behov for reinvesteringer på forbindelsen de neste tiår. Lønnsomheten av tiltaket er avhengig av fremtidig kraftpris og mengde ny vannkraft nord for Sognefjorden. Det er en begrenset flaskehals over Sognefjorden i dag Perioder med mye nedbør gir et stort kraftoverskudd i området nord for Sognefjorden, hovedsakelig mellom Ørskog stasjon i nord og Sogndal stasjon i sør. Kraften flyter oftest sørover fra Sogn og Fjordane, over Sognefjorden og videre henholdsvis vestover mot BKK-området og østover gjennom Hallingdal mot Østlandet. Det er i hovedsak variasjoner i tilsiget som styrer størrelsen på flyten, der våte perioder gir høyere flyt. I slike perioder kan de to 300 kV-ledningene Aurland-Sogndal og Hove-Sogndal som inngår i snittet over Sognefjorden være en flaskehals.

  • Norwegian Anorthosites and Their Industrial Uses, with Emphasis on the Massifs of the Inner Sogn-Voss Area in Western Norway
    NGU-BULL 436, 2000 - PAGE 103 Norwegian anorthosites and their industrial uses, with emphasis on the massifs of the Inner Sogn-Voss area in western Norway JAN EGIL WANVIK Wanvik, J.E. 2000: Norwegian anorthosites and their industrial uses, with emphasis on the massifs of the Inner Sogn- Voss area in western Norway. Norges geologiske undersøkelse Bulletin 436, 103-112. Anorthositic rocks are common in several geological provinces in Norway. Many occur at scattered localities in different parts of the country, but the two largest anorthosite complexes in western Europe are situated in western Norway. These two Precambrian massifs, the Inner Sogn-Voss province (~ 1700 Ma), and the Rogaland province (~ 930 Ma) have been investigated for use as a raw material for various industrial applications. Anorthosite with a high anorthite content (An >70) is easily soluble in mineral acids, and the bytownite plagioclase of the Sogn anorthosite makes it well suited for industrial processes based on acid leaching. The high aluminium content, ca. 31% Al2O3, has made these occurrences interesting for various industrial applications, especially as an alternative raw material for the Norwegian aluminium industry. With this goal in mind, geological investigations and processing studies have been carried out at various times during the past century. At present, a refined process utilising both the silicon and the calcium contents of the anorthosite has renewed industrial interest in these acid soluble anorthosites.

  • Stave Churches Are Unique to Norway. It Is Considered the "Most Important Example of Wooden Medieval Architecture in Europe." a Stave Church Is Made Entirely of Wood
    Stave churches are unique to Norway. It is considered the "most important example of wooden Medieval architecture in Europe." A stave church is made entirely of wood. Poles ("staver" in Norwegian) has given it its name. Most of the churches were built before 1350, but most did not survive since the supporting timber was placed directly into the ground and experienced rot and collapsed in time. <fjordnorway.com> The construction involved columns, planks and supports that were joined by dovetailing pegs and wedges with glue or nails. In the source, <ingebretsens.com> a thorough review of history and construction can be read. Stave churches have fine detail with a combination of Christian designs and pre‐Christian Viking themes with animals and dragons. It is believed that Norway had over one thousand churches. That number has dwindled to less than 25 today. The one we visited in Bergen, Norway can be viewed on acuri.net. The church in Rapid City is a replica of the Borgund stave church built in 1180 and was dedicated to the Apostle Andrew in Laerdal, Norway. It is still well preserved. From the <Chapel‐in the‐Hills> website, we learn the following about the history of this church: "It is the result of a dream of one man and the generous support of another...In the 1960's, the originator and preacher of the Lutheran Vespers radio hour, Dr. Harry R. Gregerson, was looking to expand the scope of his popular radio ministry. As his dream took shape, Dr. Gregerson realized there was the perfect location for his facility right in his own state of South Dakota in the Black Hills.

Prior to the War of 1812, an Indian runner was dispatched with a war belt of wampum with a request for the Dakotas and Chippewas to meet at the big bend of the Wisconsin River (Portage). While camped on the banks of the Lemonweir, the runner dreamed that he had lost his belt of wampum at his last sleeping place. On waking in the morning, he found his dream to be a reality and he hastened back to retrieve the belt. During the 1820's, the French-Canadian fur traders called the river, La memoire - the memory. The Lemonweir rises in the extensive swamps and marshes in Monroe County.
