It is not intended to address all circumstances. Since our streets and storm sewers are conduits for draining stormwater it is important to keep sediment and debris on the lots rather than tracked or eroded onto streets. Our primary objective is to eliminate or reduce the amount of sediments and other pollutants leav- ing a residential home construction site. To accomplish this goal, steps and procedures called Best Management Practices (BMPs) are undertaken. When properly implemented, these erosion and sediment controls are very effective. The subdivision in which you are building may already have an overall Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) General stormwater permit for construction activity. That permit remains in effect until all the lots are developed. BMPs related to that permit and plan are in place and should not be removed or compromised.

  • Conway Branch Railroad Line Feasibility Study
    Conway Branch Railroad Line Feasibility Study Report to the New Hampshire Legislature Chapter 298:4, Laws of 2003 June 30, 2004 Department of Transportation Bureau of Rail & Transit 7 Hazen Drive Concord, NH 03302 1 Conway Branch Feasibility Study 1 PURPOSE This report is intended to provide an overview of the cost and feasibility of restoring rail service on the Conway Branch railroad line between Ossipee and Conway. The New Hampshire legislature enacted a bill in 2003 (Chapter 298:4) requiring the Department of Transportation to conduct this study and report to the legislature by June 30, 2004. The Department’s Bureau of Rail and Transit has evaluated the physical condition of the corridor and discussed the cost and feasibility of making the necessary physical improvements with the two railroads operating on the corridor (the New Hampshire Northcoast and Conway Scenic Railroads) and with other interested parties. This report presents cost information for each of the physical components of the rail infrastructure, and for two levels of rehabilitation: one to meet minimum standards and one that would sustain rail service for the long term. With regard to the feasibility of restoring rail service, time and available resources did not permit a detailed evaluation of potential shippers and volumes of freight for freight rail, or ridership projections on a passenger service. Instead, the report presents a general discussion of potential freight shipping on the line and of the different types of passenger operations that could be considered for the Conway Branch. 2 HISTORY OF THE CONWAY BRANCH Several railroad histories describe the formation and construction of the Conway Branch rail line, most recently The Rail Lines of Northern New England (Robert M.

  • Concrete Washout Area (CWA) MM-1
    Concrete Washout Area (CWA) MM-1 Description Concrete waste management involves designating and properly managing a specific area of the construction site as a concrete washout area. A concrete washout area can be created using one of several approaches designed to receive wash water from washing of tools and concrete mixer chutes, liquid concrete waste from dump trucks, mobile batch mixers, or pump trucks. Three basic approaches are available: excavation of a pit in the ground, use of an above ground storage area, or use of prefabricated haul- away concrete washout containers. Surface discharges of concrete washout water from construction sites are prohibited. Photograph CWA-1. Example of concrete washout area. Note gravel tracking pad for access and sign. Appropriate Uses Concrete washout areas must be designated on all sites that will generate concrete wash water or liquid concrete waste from onsite concrete mixing or concrete delivery. Because pH is a pollutant of concern for washout activities, when unlined pits are used for concrete washout, the soil must have adequate buffering capacity to result in protection of state groundwater standards; otherwise, a liner/containment must be used. The following management practices are recommended to prevent an impact from unlined pits to groundwater: . The use of the washout site should be temporary (less than 1 year), and . The washout site should be not be located in an area where shallow groundwater may be present, such as near natural drainages, springs, or wetlands. Design and Installation Concrete washout activities must be conducted in a manner that does not contribute pollutants to surface waters or stormwater runoff.

  • 1839 Interstate Commerce Commission Report of the Director of the Bureau of Safety Concerning an Accident on the Pennsylvania Ra
    1839 INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF SAFETY CONCERNING AN ACCIDENT ON THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD AT ST. ELMO, ILL., ON MAY 28, 1933. July 28, 1933. To the Commission: On May 28, 1933, a passenger train struck an automobile tank truck at a grade crossing on the Pennsylvania Railroad at St. Elmo, 111., which resulted in the death of 2 occupants of the truck, and the injury of 2 employees, 1 of whom subsequently died, and 2 trespassers. Location and method of operation This accident occurred on that part of the St. Louis Division which extends between Indianapolis, Ind., and St. Louis, Mo., a distance of 247.4 miles. In the vicinity of the point of accident this is a double-track line over which trains are operated by time table, train orders, and an automatic block-signal system. The accident occurred on the west-bound track approximately 100 feet west of the station, where Main Street crosses the tracks at an angle of 68°, Approaching the crossing from either direction, the track is tangent for several miles, while the grade is prac­ tically level at"the point of accident. The authorized speed for passenger trains in this territory is 70 miles per hour. Main Street extends north and south and consists of a con­ crete pavement 20 feet in" width, with the crossing of bjfcuminous construction. The street passes over three tracks at this crossing, from south to north as follows; east-bound, west-bound and house tracks; approaching the tracks from the south there is a slight ascending grade.

  • FHWA Tech Brief on Pavement Sustainability
    TechBrief OCTOBER 2014 FHWA-HIF-14-012 PAVEMENT SUSTAINABILITY INTRODUCTION An increasing number of agencies, companies, organizations, institutes, and governing bodies are embracing principles of sustainability in managing their activities and conducting business. A sustainable approach focuses on the overarching goal of considering key environmental, social, and economic factors in the decision-making process. Sustainability considerations are not new, and in fact have often been considered indirectly or informally, but in recent years significant efforts are being made to quantify sustainability effects and to incorporate them in a more systematic and organized fashion. The purpose of this Tech Brief is to present a summary of the application of sustainability concepts to pavements. It provides an introduction to these concepts and how they are applied as best practices in the industry, focusing on current and emerging technology and trends. WHAT IS A SUSTAINABLE PAVEMENT? A sustainable pavement is one that achieves its specific engineering goals, while, on a broader scale, (1) meets basic human needs, (2) uses resources effectively, and (3) preserves/restores surrounding ecosystems. Sustainability is context sensitive and thus the approach taken is not universal, but rather unique for each pavement application. Furthermore, a “sustainable pavement” as defined here is not yet fully achievable. Today it is an aspirational goal to be worked towards, and ultimately achieved at some point in the future as sustainability best practices continue to evolve. Pavement Sustainability Best Practices This Tech Brief highlights processes, actions, and features that improve on existing practices. Specifically, “sustainability best practices” are those that either (1) go above-and-beyond required regulatory minimums or current standard practice, or (2) show innovation in meeting those minimums and standards.
