The sounds are excruciatingly painful for him. Donnenfeld’s hearing troubles began about sev- en years ago, after he lost a third of his hearing. He was diagnosed with acous- tic neuroma, a benign brain tumor that sits on the hearing nerves. Treat- ment included radiation. His world turned upside down, which is why he left his beloved corporate job and dedicated his time to researching noise pol- lution. His goal? To raise awareness about the in- door and outdoor sounds that hurt people with hearing disabilities. “Noise was off my radar and irrelevant to my life until six years ago,” he said. “The effects of noise State Land Court Chief Justice for me throughout the day ITEM PHOTO | SPENSER HASAK are cumulative and there’s Gordon H.

  • Engineering the Environment: Regulatory Engineering at the U.S
    Engineering the Environment: Regulatory Engineering at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1970-1980 Jongmin Lee Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Science and Technology Studies Matthew H. Wisnioski, Chair Mark V. Barrow, Jr. Gary L. Downey Saul Halfon Ann Johnson August 2, 2013 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: air pollution, control technology, environmental regulation, regulatory engineering, catalytic converter, scrubber, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Copyright Jongmin Lee Engineering the Environment: Regulatory Engineering at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1970-1980 Jongmin Lee ABSTRACT My dissertation addresses how engineers, scientists, and bureaucrats generated knowledge about pollution, crafted an institution for environmental protection, and constructed a collective identity for themselves. I show an important shift in regulators’ priorities, from stringent health-based standards to flexible technology-based ones through the development of end-of-pipeline pollution control devices, which contributed to the emergence of economic incentives and voluntary management programs. Drawing on findings from archival documents, published sources, and oral history interviews, I examine the first decade of the EPA amid constant organizational changes that shaped the technological and managerial character of environmental policy in the United States. Exploring the EPA’s internal research and development processes and their relationship with scientific and engineering communities sheds light on how the new fields of environmental engineering and policy were co-produced in the 1970s. I argue that two competing approaches for environmental management, a community health approach and a control technology approach, developed from EPA’s responses to bureaucratic, geographical, and epistemic challenges.

  • State Caucus Representative Reports
    Delaware Caucus Report Steering Committee Meeting April 25, 2013 Erie, PA Winterthur Library Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library is pleased to announce that it has acquired the John and Carolyn Grossman Collection, an assemblage of 250,000 items that documents chromolithography and all it represented visually from approximately 1820 to 1920. The collection portrays the customs, attitudes, and ideals of Victorian and Edwardian life and is one of the most comprehensive archives of period graphic ephemera ever to have been assembled. The finest examples are represented, including calendars, greeting cards, trade cards, product labels, paper dolls, tickets, postcards, scrapbooks, sheet music, etc. Among the treasures of the collection are the first commercially produced Christmas card (England, 1843), its accompanying printer’s proof, and an early American Christmas card from around 1850. As well, the Grossmans saved the archive of the George Schlegel Lithographic Company, a 19th and 20th century New York City business that specialized in cigar box label printing. Having the Grossman Collection at Winterthur solidifies the library’s status as a center for advanced research in the visual arts. Lewes Historical Society The Lewes Historical Society has recently acquired the papers of Citizens' Coalition, Inc., a non-profit organization that reviewed and kept track of land use decisions in Sussex County, Del., from the late 1990s through last year when it dissolved. As land use and development are critical issues in southern Delaware at the turn of the 21st century, this collection will yield insight into local sentiment and politics regarding decision making and changing demographics in the region.

  • The Bittersweet Waters of the Lower Colorado by ROWE FINDLEY SENIOR EDITORIAL STAFF Photographs by CHARLES O'rear
    The Bittersweet Waters of the Lower Colorado By ROWE FINDLEY SENIOR EDITORIAL STAFF Photographs by CHARLES O'REAR RYSTAL DROPS OF SNOWMELT give the river birth, high in the Rockies of its namesake state . Nourished by C tributaries from Wyoming's Wind River Range and Utah's Uintas, it grows to mus- cular youth . In vigorous midcourse it cuts mighty canyons through desert plateaus in its rush toward the sea. Then, along its final 400 miles or so toward the Gulf of California, the Colorado becomes a different river . Once those final miles were the most ripsnortin' of all . Here the full-grown river broadened out in wide valleys, looped in great bends, and stampeded over everything in its path during unpredictable floods . Then, beginning with Hoover Dam in 1935, man began to harness that brute power ; today a series of dams holds back the lower river and turns it out to water towns and industries and millions of desert acres (map, page 546). Now, in its last 70 miles, the feeble river is reduced to a trickle, in size comparable Sluicing through wind-driven dunes, the All American Canal carries the tamed and dutiful waters of the lower Colorado westward toward California's Imperial Valley. Prodigious thirsts of farms, cities, and industries virtually dry up the mighty river before it finds the sea . THIS SURVEY INCLUDES A NUMBER OF PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY MR .

  • The History of the American Environmental Policy Reflects How
    Troubled Waters: The Confluence of Local, State and Federal Environmental Policy at the Headwaters of the Dolores River, from the Height of the Cold War to 2004 By Rebecca Levy Major: U.S. History Fort Lewis College Mentor: Michael Fry, PhD ABSTRACT Guaranteeing a sufficient supply of clean water is one of the biggest environmental problems facing the United States. This problem is dramatically exacerbated in the arid Southwest, where the limited water resources are shrinking, as demand for clean water is increasing. Compounding the problem is the environmental contamination from historic mining activities. Often located near headwaters, abandoned hard rock mines and mine waste piles deposit heavy metals into the streams and rivers of many of the western watersheds. Pollution from historic mining activities further degrades the quality of this limited resource, making the protection of clean water essential to the viability of life in the west. The town of Rico, Colorado is situated at the headwaters of the Dolores River, a tributary to the Colorado, and is surrounded by abandoned silver, lead, zinc, gold and copper mines. Rico‟s mines have been contaminating the Dolores River for over a century. Despite its isolated location, the environmental history of the Rico region illustrates how actions undertaken locally are determined by state and federal policy decisions. These policy decisions are often influenced by national public sentiment and economic trends, rather than empirical science, remedial objectives or local needs. This study is part of a growing body of environmental history that focuses on the evolution of environmental policy. By incorporating previously unused official accounts from town records, including board minutes and letters, this study contributes to future research on the history of Rico, and on environmental history in general.
