  • Project Descriptions for July 10, 2019 Board of Trustees Meeting Clean
    Project Descriptions for July 10, 2019 Board of Trustees Meeting Clean Water Commitments Bourne CW-19-07 The project involves construction of a new 100,000 gpd package wastewater treatment facility with subsurface discharge on town-owned land. The plant is designed using MBR technology. A Groundwater Discharge Permit has been approved for the plant and discharge. Based on detailed site testing and groundwater modeling, treated effluent will move towards the Cape Cod Canal. Added capacity is needed to handle flows above the 200,000 gpd capacity owned by Bourne in the Wareham WWTF. That plant, where no added capacity is available for Bourne's use, discharges to the Agawam River. Existing sewer flows from a portion of Bourne's sewered area will be intercepted and re-directed to the new treatment plant, redirecting treated effluent away from the Agawam River. Fall River CW-18-38 The City of Fall River's WWTF is aging and requires rehabilitation/upgrade to maintain reliable operation and performance. Additionally, EPA has indicated its intent to include a nitrogen limit in the City's next NPDES permit. Mt. Hope Bay is listed as impaired; Fall River's wet weather discharges and operational SSOs contribute to its impairment. Recent air quality regulations (Title V) necessitated shut down of the WWTF incinerator. Liquid sludge is trucked off site for disposal, dramatically increasing disposal costs. Administrative facilities are ineffective and undersized for current needs. Site electrical and security issues will also be addressed. Norton CW-18-43 This project involves providing new sanitary sewers to reduce pollution caused from the failed and malfunctioning private onsite sewage disposal systems, and more specifically the already failed systems at the Woodland Meadows Elderly Housing development.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA the Bill of Rights And
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Politics School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Joseph S. Devaney Washington, D.C. 2010 The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution Joseph S. Devaney, Ph.D. Director: Claes G. Ryn, Ph.D. According to conventional understanding, the primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Constitution was to preserve liberty through a form of government that provided for a highly structured system of federalism and separation of powers. The primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Bill of Rights was to allay Anti-Federalist fears that the Constitution did not sufficiently secure individual rights. For that reason, the original Constitution is frequently contrasted with the Bill of Rights. Yet distinguishing between the Constitution and the Bill of Rights obscures more about the nature of the Bill of Rights than it discloses. It is agreed that one of the primary Anti-Federalist objections to the Constitution was the absence of a bill of rights. A close examination of the debate over the absence of a bill of rights reveals that the first ten amendments to the Constitution occupy a much more complex place in the constitutional scheme than is commonly assumed. While individual rights did constitute an important theme during the ensuing debate concerning the importance of a bill of rights, they were not the only theme or even the prevailing theme.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETC-HES BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. INTRODUCTION. THE follo,ving pages have been arranged in accordance ,vith the resolution of the Historical Society of Old N e,vbury, adopted at the annual n1ceting in January, 1885, "that brief biographi­ cal sketches of the natives and residents of Old Ne,vbury, ,vho have become prominent in the va­ rious ,valks of life, should be prepared for the celebration of the t,vo hundred and fiftieth anni­ versary of the settlen1ent of the town, which takes place this year." As the resolution enjoins brevity, only the principal events in the different lives ·will be n1en tione<l. The outlines given, which have been drawn only after a careful examination of the biogra­ phies, eulogies, ,vritings, and published speeches that could be obtained, will, it is hoped, be suffi­ cient to describe the various characters, - what they ,vere, and what they did. It will be noticed ·with natural and commend­ able pride by the present generation of N e,vbury, Newburyport, and '\Yest Newbury,- very many 6 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. of whom are the descendants of the original gran­ tees of the soil, and some of whom still possess the land inherited fron1 their ancestors, - that there has been an uninterrupted line of eminent men from the very infancy of the settlement do,vn to the present time.
