  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Environmental Impact Assessment Environmental Solutions Ltd. Executive Summary Introduction The Government of Jamaica through the National Water Commission (NWC) intends to effect improvements in the potable water supply for the Greater Spanish Town (GST) and Southeast St. Catherine (SESC) sections of the Kingston Metropolitan Area (KMA), with financial assistance from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). These sections of the KMA are presently supplied by a number of sources within St. Catherine, including the Rio Cobre Scheme (constructed in the early 1970’s) and wells in Greater Spanish Town and Southeast St. Catherine. The current state of repair of all existing production and relift pumping facilities is poor while existing service storage reservoirs and tanks exhibit some deficiencies. Currently, about 95% of the population within Greater Spanish Town and SE St. Catherine has access to piped water but supply can be variable, with some NWC customers receiving water only for a few hours each day on occasion. Current “maximum month” water demand in Greater Spanish Town is estimated at some 63.5 Mega-Litres per day (Mld) or 13.98 migd and this is projected to rise to some 90.6 Mld (19.94 migd) in 2026 (the project design year). With current available supply of some 58.2 Mld (12.82 migd) there is a current deficit of some 5.3 Mld (1.82 migd). In the absence of the proposed capital works of the Project (but assuming some reduction of leakage as a result of ongoing in-house NWC initiatives) the deficit will rise by 2026 to some 32.4 Mld (7.12 migd).

    Jamaica‟S Physical Features

    Jamaica‟s Physical Features Objective: Describe Jamaica‟s physical features. Jamaica has physical features including: valleys, mountains, hills, rivers, waterfalls, plateau, caves, cays, mineral springs, harbours and plains. www.caribbeanexams.com Page 1 Valleys A valley is a low area that lies between two hills or mountains. A list of valleys in Jamaica is shown below. St. James Queen of Spain Valley Trelawny Queen of Spain Valley Hanover Great River Westmoreland Dean St. Catherine Luidas Vale St. Mary St Thomas in the Vale Portland Rio Grande St. Thomas Plantain Garden www.caribbeanexams.com Page 2 Mountains The mountains of the island can be broken up into three main groups. The first group is in the eastern section composed primarily of the Blue Mountain. This group also has the John Crow Mountains and is the most easterly mountain range in the island. They run from north-west to south-east in the parish of Portland and divide the Rio Grande valley from the east coast of the island. The second group or central region is formed chiefly of limestone, and extends from Stony Hill in St Andrew to the Cockpit country. The central range starts from Stony Hill and runs in a north westerly direction through Mammee Hill, Red Hills, Bog Walk, Guy's Hill, Mount Diablo and finally into the Cockpit country. The third group is the western section with Dolphin Head as its centre. www.caribbeanexams.com Page 3 Major Mountains www.caribbeanexams.com Page 4 Rivers Major Rivers in Jamaica www.caribbeanexams.com Page 5 Black River As the main mountain ranges in Jamaica run from west to east, the rivers, which start on their slopes, generally flow north or south.

    I. STRATEGIC CONTEXT A. Country Context 1. Jamaica is a small Caribbean island country with a population of 2.715 million people (2013) and gross national income per capita of $5,220 (2013)1. The country is well endowed with natural resources – marine assets (fish, coral reefs and beaches), fertile soils and high value minerals. The key sources of foreign exchange are tourism (about 1.9 million tourists each year for the past 10 years), remittances, and bauxite mining (the fifth largest exporter of bauxite in the world.) The Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education has been achieved, life expectancy at birth is 73 years and the country is on track for eradicating extreme hunger. Jamaica’s ranking on the United Nations’ Human Development Index (HDI) in 2014 is 96th out of 187 countries with a score of 0.715, compared with the 1995 HDI of 0.728 and a ranking of 101 out of 159 countries. 2. Jamaica’s economic performance has been less than expected, despite Jamaica’s rich endowment of natural assets, its proximity to US markets and foreign direct investment (averaging 3.2% of GDP over the last five years). During 1973-2007, annual average economic growth was 0.8% while labor productivity declined by 1.5%. It is among the most indebted countries in the world with a public debt-to-GDP ratio at 137% in March 2015. The sustained, high public debt service obligations and associated large refinancing needs have spiked the country’s risk premiums, partially crowding out and distorting private sector investment, and left the country vulnerable to shifts in market sentiment.

    I Am Not Saying That Chefs Must Look Like Models

    Janet Silvera Senior Gleaner Writer WESTERN BUREAU: IBRANT AND exotic are two colourful words used to Vdescribe food and beverage but hardly ever for the uniforms of the creators of such gourmet masterpieces. At least one chef is about to change the way her colleagues are dressed, particularly in Jamaica. Sherine Gayle, who has spent the last seven years in the culinary industry has, since 2014, launched a line of fashionable chef wear through her Sensational Creations brand. “My inspiration came from working in the industry. I realised the creativity and energy put into cooking and plating meals. Food is a work of art, so why shouldn’t the creators look like the work of art?” she told Hospitality Jamaica, adding that it was her belief that chefs ought to stand out and represent what they created. As a result, her garments are designed to mirror the zeal and passion with which chefs cook. Gayle will officially launch her impressive chef wear at the Montego Bay Community College on Saturday, September 24. She has blended vibrant colours, sourced local fabrics and accessories and combined them with the technology of air vents to keep chefs cool while they are cooking in a hot kitchen. “The heat can be overbearing for any chef, and so with the ventilated technology, chefs benefit from cool air that passes through the jacket and hat as they work. The fabric also holds up for years. The more they are washed, the more comfortable they feel,” she said. Since manufacturing the first chef outfit two years ago, the response to chef wear has been tremendous, Gayle said.

    “Tree-Mendous Beautification”

    Volume 4, Issue 1 A Publication of the Communications and Customer Services Department November 2004 “Tree-mendousAdopt-a-Roadway BlooBeautification”ms In May 2004, the Agency launched its beautification programme dubbed "Tree-mendous Beautification" Adopt-a-Roadway pro- gramme. Conceptualized in 2002 by the National Works Agency, the programme provides Corporate and Volunteer Organizations a unique opportunity to beautify and maintain sections of road- side, verges and median strips, along the main road network. Five Corporate bodies embraced the opportunity to maintain and beautify sections of Trafalgar Road. These are National Commercial Bank, Life of Jamaica Limited, JN Real Estate, Guardian Life and Jamaica Mortgage Bank. Minister Pickersgill said he was pleased to observe that this desire "has began to blossom from concept into reality" Since its launch in May, other entities have shown keen interest in becoming a part of the programme, the most recent being Nature's Paradise, a member of the Guardsman Group of Companies. In addition, the companies sought to bring Marcus Garvey Drive - adopted by Petrojam. Christmas cheer to Trafalgar Road by sponsoring the decoration of JPSCo. poles with Christmas lights. Those who got a chance to view the magnificent array of lights, will agree that the lights brought the splendor and festivity of the season, to the lovely stretch of roadway. The lights were switched-on in a brief cere- mony on Tuesday, December 15, 2004, held at the new Life of Jamaica Sculpture Park (intersection of Lord Nelson Way & Trafalgar Road), to mark the occasion. Both activities, the lighting of the poles and beautification of the road reservation have started to bring cheer to the many motorists and pedestrians who traverse Trafalgar Road daily.

    Drafting Instructions for Trade Effluent Discharges and Industrial Sludge

    DDDRRRAAAFFFTTT DDDRRRAAAFFFTTT DDDRRRAAAFFFTTT SUMMARY OF MAIN FEATURES OF THE DRAFTING INSTRUCTIONS Purpose Trade effluent discharges and industrial sludge need to be controlled in order to ensure that: • trade effluent and industrial sludge have no detrimental effect on the environment; • trade effluent mixed with sewage can be treated effectively, safely and economically at the sewage treatment plants • avoid the introduction of toxic, flammable or explosive substances are not introduced into the sewage treatment plants; and • industrial sludge is managed or treated to allow safe transportation, reuse and/or disposal. The regulations are based on the following principles and approaches: • industry self monitoring of trade effluent and industrial sludge • NEPA performing an auditing function. NEPA will take samples to determine compliance or to verify or check reports made by licensees. • the polluter pays principle – by load based discharge fees so that licensees are encouraged to minimise effluent discharged • incentives for the beneficial use of trade effluent (such as fertilization) • licensees to take care of their own wastes (i.e., so that they meet standards) • progressively severe penalties (warnings, control orders, prosecution) for violation of the regulations. It is recognised that facilities and/or mechanisms for the treatment, use or reuse and/or safe disposal of common trade effluent and industrial sludge wastes as well as waste oil, livestock manure and sewage sludge are non-existent or underdeveloped. (The same can be said of some solid wastes (batteries, plastic bottles, and wastes from agri-processing). The regulations require generators to take care of their own trade effluent and industrial sludge. The regulations also provide a framework on which economic instruments related to trade effluent and industrial sludge can be built.
