  • Emergency Operations Plan (Base Plan)
    EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN (BASE PLAN) CUYAHOGA COUNTY Executive Edward FitzGerald PREFACE In Cuyahoga County, the management of emergencies begins well before they strike, through collaborative planning and capacity building. The public, private, and non-profit sectors, as well as individual citizens, must work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose a risk to Cuyahoga County. The Cuyahoga County Emergency Operations Plan represents a combination of best practices, collaborative planning, and lessons learned from real world response. The plan is designed to save lives, reduce injuries, and limit property damage before, during, and after an emergency. It describes the notification and communications process, as well as how resources are mobilized and coordinated in support of the local jurisdiction that retains primary responsibility for the safety of its citizens during an emergency. This plan supersedes all previous versions and may be modified only upon my approval or, under the appropriate circumstances, upon approval of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Safety & Justice Services, the Director of Public Safety, or the Administrator of the Office of Emergency Management. Upon my authorization, this plan may be fully or partially activated to manage natural, technological and human-caused incidents that occur in Cuyahoga County. All Cuyahoga County employees shall support this plan and carry out their responsibilities as required by this document. ii | Page APPROVAL This plan was developed in collaboration between the Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management and the Cleveland/Cuyahoga County Urban Area Working Group, representing the municipalities of Cuyahoga County.

  • CMA Landscape Master Plan
    THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN DECEMBER 2018 LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN The rehabilitation of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s grounds requires the creativity, collaboration, and commitment of many talents, with contributions from the design team, project stakeholders, and the grounds’ existing and intended users. Throughout the planning process, all have agreed, without question, that the Fine Arts Garden is at once a work of landscape art, a treasured Cleveland landmark, and an indispensable community asset. But the landscape is also a complex organism—one that requires the balance of public use with consistency and harmony of expression. We also understand that a successful modern public space must provide more than mere ceremonial or psychological benefits. To satisfy the CMA’s strategic planning goals and to fulfill the expectations of contemporary users, the museum grounds should also accommodate as varied a mix of activities as possible. We see our charge as remaining faithful to the spirit of the gardens’ original aesthetic intentions while simultaneously magnifying the rehabilitation, ecological health, activation, and accessibility of the grounds, together with critical comprehensive maintenance. This plan is intended to be both practical and aspirational, a great forward thrust for the benefit of all the people forever. 0' 50' 100' 200' 2 The Cleveland Museum of Art Landscape Master Plan 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS CMA Landscape Master Plan Committee Consultants William Griswold Director and President Sasaki Heather Lemonedes

  • Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District – Euclid Creek Report
    NORTHEAST OHIO REGIONAL SEWER DISTRICT 2018 Euclid Creek Environmental Monitoring Biological, Water Quality and Habitat Survey Results Prepared by Water Quality and Industrial Surveillance Division 2018 Euclid Creek Environmental Monitoring Results April 22, 2019 Introduction In 2018, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) conducted water chemistry sampling, habitat assessments, and fish and benthic macroinvertebrate community surveys on Euclid Creek. Euclid Creek drains the communities of South Euclid, Lyndhurst, Willoughby Hills, Richmond Heights, Highland Heights, Euclid and Cleveland before emptying into Lake Erie. Sampling was conducted by NEORSD Level 3 Qualified Data Collectors certified by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) in Fish Community and Benthic Macroinvertebrate Biology, Chemical Water Quality and Stream Habitat Assessments as explained in the NEORSD study plan 2018 Euclid Creek Environmental Monitoring approved by Ohio EPA on April 3, 2018. One of the study objectives at river miles (RM) 0.40, 0.55 and 1.65, on the main branch of Euclid Creek, was to assess the attainment status of the stream segments. The sites at RM 0.55 and 1.65 are also required under the Ohio EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. 3PA00002*HD. The site at RM 0.40 was evaluated post restoration for water chemistry, fish, macroinvertebrates, and habitat. An additional objective at RMs 0.40, 0.55 and 1.65 was to collect pre- and post- construction data of three NEORSD Project Clean Lake capital improvement projects that will reduce the current amount of over 60 combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges per year to less than 2 per year entering Euclid Creek.
