  • Høyringsuttale Til Forslag Om Forbud Mot Nydyrking Av Myrjord
    Austrheim kommune Fedje kommune Lindås kommune Meland kommune Radøy kommune Landbruks- og matdepartementet Høyringsuttale til forslag om forbud mot nydyrking av myrjord. Det vert synt til Landbruks- og matdepartementet sitt høyringsnotat om forbod mot nydyrking av myr. Denne høyringsuttale er ein fellesuttale for kommunane i Nordhordland. Dette fordi det er eit tett samarbeid mellom landbrukskontora i desse kommunane, men også fordi forbudet vil by på store og sams utfordringar hjå mange av bøndene i desse kommunane. Uttale til høyringforslaget : Kommunane i Nordhordland vil frårå eit forbod mot nydyrking av myr ! Eit forbod mot nydyrking av myr vil, som synt nedanfor, ha store negative konsekvensar for landbruket i Nordhordland. Det vil ha store økonomiske og praktiske konsekvensar for den enkelte næringsutøvar i landbruket. Den rådande landbrukspolitikk ynskjer ein effektiv matproduksjon på store driftseiningar. Då er det eit paradoks at dei som ynskjer å auka produksjonen på garden sin vert møtt med eit slikt forbod. Me ser klart dei klimautfordringar me står ovanfor, men meiner at eit forbod mot nydyrking av myr for matproduksjon er eit feilsteg. Det er for lite nyansert og råkar områder og enkeltpersonar hardt. Ein kan vidare undre seg over at det berre er matproduksjonen som vert møtt med eit totalforbod mot å grave i myrjorda. Gjeld ikkje forbodet og klimaambisjonar når myrområder skal nyttast til næringsareal, bustadbygging m.m. ? Departementet meiner forbodet bør innehalde ein dispensasjonsadgang og foreslår at det skal kunne tillatast å dyrka myr i «særskilte tilfeller». Det støttar me då det er ei oppmjuking av regelverket i høve til eit totalforbod. Departementet ynskjer tilbakemelding frå høyringsinstansane på kva som bør liggja til grunn ved ei slik vurdering : Det er store forskjellar innan begrepet myrjord – djupne og omdanningsgrad er gjerne dei viktigaste.

  • Handtering Av Brøytesnø I Vestland Fylke.Pdf
    Vår dato: Vår ref: 12.03.2021 2021/2120 Dykkar dato: Dykkar ref: Sjå mottakarliste Saksbehandlar, innvalstelefon Anette Heggøy, 5557 2305 Handtering av brøytesnø i Vestland fylke Bakgrunn I samband med snøfalla i Bergen vinteren 2020/21, har Statsforvaltaren i Vestland motteke spørsmål frå brøyteentreprenørar om oppdaterte retningslinjer for handtering av brøytesnø og deponering på land og i sjø. I februar 2011 sendte Fylkesmannen i Hordaland ut eit informasjonsskriv med retningslinjer for handtering av brøytesnø og dumping av snø i Bergen. Miljødirektoratet har sidan den tid utarbeida nye retningslinjer for snøhandtering. Statsforvaltaren ønskjer med dette å orientere om oppdaterte retningslinjer for snøhandtering i Vestland fylke. Dette brevet erstattar retningslinjene i vårt brev av 2011. Retningslinjer for handtering av snø Forureining frå veg er ei viktig kjelde til forureining av sjø og vassdrag frå urbane område. Brøytesnø kan innehalde betydelege mengder partiklar, mikroplast, sand, grus og avfall, tungmetall og andre miljøgifter. Deponering og dumping av snø kan dermed representere ei fare for forureining av sjø og vassdrag og derfor krevje løyve frå statsforvaltaren. I følgje nye retningslinjer frå Miljødirektoratet1 er dumping av snø i sjø og vassdrag i utgangspunktet alltid søknadspliktig fordi faren for forureining og forsøpling er stor. Statsforvaltaren vil difor vera restriktiv med å gje løyve til dumping av snø i vassdrag og sjø. Også mellomlagring og deponering av snø på land kan krevje løyve etter forureiningslova, dersom mellomlageret/deponiet representerer ein risiko for forureining. Ei miljørisikovurdering for det aktuelle området, vil vise om snøen medfører ei fare for forureining av nærliggande vassdrag, sjø eller grunnen. Dersom vurderinga visar at deponiet kan medføre fare for forureining er det krav om løyve etter forureiningslova § 11 frå Statsforvaltaren.

Welcome to the Tre Lag Stevne in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. We were last in the Twin Cities area in 2009 in this same location. In a metropolitan area of this size it is not as easy to see the results of the Norwegian immigration as in smaller towns and rural communities. But the evidence is there if you look for it. This year’s speakers will tell the story of the Norwegians who contributed to the richness of American culture through literature, art, architecture, politics, medicine and science. You may recognize a few of their names, but many are unsung heroes who quietly added strands to the fabric of America and the world. We hope to astonish you with the diversity of their talents. Our tour will take us to the first Norwegian church in America, which was moved from Muskego, Wisconsin to the grounds of Luther Seminary,. We’ll stop at Mindekirken, established in 1922 with the mission of retaining Norwegian heritage. It continues that mission today. We will also visit Norway House, the newest organization to promote Norwegian connectedness. Enjoy the program, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and continue to learn about our shared heritage.

Etter slikt arbeid viser det seg ofte at det oppstår setningar og sprekkdanningar som følgje av mangelfull istandsetting. Dette medfører ein dårlegare standard på vegar og gater. Nettverksgruppen Veg og trafikk Hordaland har med utgangspunkt i Statens vegvesen – Region vest sine Retningliner for framføring av kablar, leidningar og graving i offentleg veg -2006, tilpassa desse for kommunane i Hordaland. Målet er det same: sikre ei effektiv og omsynsfull gjennomføring og ei fullgod istandsetting etter arbeidet, slik at samfunnet ikkje vert påført unødige ulemper og kostnader. Dette heftet skal gi opplysningar om kva ein søknad skal innehalde og kvar den skal sendast. I tillegg vert det informert om korleis arbeidet skal gjennomførast og kva for krav som vert stilla, samt det ansvar den som gjennomfører arbeidet har. Retningslinene gjeld for alle type arbeid, til dømes boring og graving i veg og gategrunn, samt for luftstrekk over veg m.m. Det vil normalt ikkje bli gitt graveløyve i veger og gater som har nyare dekke enn 3 år. Den einskilte kommune kan fastsetje lengre sperrefrist. Retningslinene gjeld for fylgjande kommunar og søknad om graving i

  • Discovery of Highly Radioactive Granite in the Bergen Region
    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Vol 96 Nr. 4 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.17850/njg96-4-03 Discovery of highly radioactive granite in the Bergen Region Christophe Pascal1,2 & Therese Rudlang3 1NGU, Geological Survey of Norway, Post Box 6315 Sluppen, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. 2Institute of Geology, Mineralogy and Geophysics, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. 3NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. E-mail corresponding author (Christophe Pascal): [email protected] We report the discovery of the most radioactive granite ever found in Norway, namely the Løvstakken granite, located ~5 km southwest of Bergen. A preliminary gamma-spectrometry survey carried out in the Bergen Region, in autumn 2009, showed that the Løvstakken granite contained unusually high amounts of uranium and thorium. This finding was later confirmed by a more complete regional survey during the summer of 2010. We visited 281 sites and made 502 radiometric measurements in the Bergen Region and adjacent areas. Based on 87 measurements on the Løvstakken granite, we found that it contains ~18 ppm U, ~58 ppm Th and ~6% K on average (median values). Natural radioactivity is not harmful by itself, but the high uranium levels of the Løvstakken granite (i.e., up to ~69 ppm) cause concern in terms of radon hazard. In addition, geothermal gradients in the continental crust are strongly dependent on the amount of radioactive (i.e., heat-producing) elements it hosts. Our study indicates that the Løvstakken granite produces ~8 mW/m3 of heat. Such high heat-generation values may result in anomalously high temperatures in the subsurface of the Bergen Region, that in turn may render the use of geothermal energy economically interesting.

  • Folketal Og Demografi 2 Føreord
    HORDALAND I TAL Nr. 1 - 2018 Folketal og demografi 2 Føreord Hordaland i tal nr. 1 2018 presenterer folketalsutviklinga i fylket og på regions- og kommunenivå. I dette nummeret tek vi og eit blikk nordover til Sogn og Fjordane som saman med Hordaland skal inngå i Vestland fylkeskommune frå 1. januar 2020. Frå 2017 til 2018 auka folketalet i Hordaland med 0,5 % som er den lågaste veksten sidan 1998. Hordaland er ikkje ein isolert del av Europa og av verda, men blir påverka av internasjonale konjunkturar, av krigar og sosial uro og nød i andre delar av verda som driv menneske på flukt. Dette påverkar folketalsut- viklinga i Hordaland. Innvandring har bidrege positivt til folketalsutviklinga i alle kommunar i Hordaland og Sogn og Fjordane sidan 2013 og statistikken viser at mange kommunar er heilt avhengig av nye innbyggjarar frå utlandet. For kommunane med befolkningsnedgang har innvandringa bremsa reduksjonen i folketalet. I 2017 fekk vi ein kraftig reduksjon i innvandringa til Hordaland. Samstundes ser vi at det kjem stadig færre innvandrar frå Europa, som har dominert innvandringsstraumen til Hordaland dei seinare åra. Dette heng saman med auken i arbeidsløyse i Noreg og i nokre høve ein betre økonomisk situasjon i dei landa dei har kome frå. Polakkar er likevel framleis den klårt største innvandrargruppa i Noreg. Saman med rekordlåg netto innanlandsk flytting og lågt fødselsoverskot, har dette ført til den låge folkeveksten vi no har hatt siste året i Hordaland. Korleis desse tilhøva slår ut i din kommune og din region, kan du lese meir om i dette nummeret av Hordaland i tal, saman med mykje anna nyttig informasjon om folketalsutviklinga.

Sea spray, open landscape, a lighthouse 104 feet above sea level, 551 openminded inhabitants and a lot of weather. The Island of Fedje - The humid climate - The clean water The perfect - The proximity to Scotland place for Whisky - The pure nature Production - The fresh, natural local ingredients - The fresh air - Fedjes historic relationship with Scotland In addition – Norway’s reputation for clean, wild and natural… Our story A good idea - and a pinch of madness Once upon a time three friends met in a bar… The first is a beer brewer on Fedje, but the buzz around micro spirits has pricked the curiosity. The second is in the wine- and restaurant business, always eager for new ideas, and she wondered why more Norwegians had not wanted to bet on whisky. The third simply lives for anything to do with whisky culture. He is just waiting for the other two to realize how much fun it would be to produce a Norwegian whisky on an island in the middle of the ocean. And there, after another round around that table, the Feddie Ocean Distillery had its unofficial kickstarter over a glass of whisky… or three. Anne Koppang Feddie’s founder Anne Koppang opened the restaurant and main Druen at Aker Brygge together with two shareholder girlfriends in 1986.

At its type locality, glaciomarine sediment of the Herdla Moraines was deformed and consolidated by overriding ice. Two phases of moraine development took place in conjunction with ice movement coming first from the east-northeast and later from the southeast. The early phase is related to development of a local ice dome on Stølsheimen during the middle Younger Dryas (about 10,500 BP), when the ice sheet reached its late glacial maximum thickness in the region. The ice sheet then thinned rapidly, due to climatic amelioration and increased calving, and shifted to southeasterly movement at Herdla. Most glaciotectonic disturbance and consolidation of sediment at Herdla happened during this late phase, perhaps as a result of a glacier surge along Herdlafjord. The glaciotectonic structures at Herdla are local in character and cannot be used for regional correlation of glacial advances in western Norway. J. S.

Y ounger Dry as moraines of western Norway Aarseth & Mangerud (1974) defined the Herdla Moraines as a morphostratigraphic unit with a type locality at Herdla island (Fig. 1). Sediments of the Herdla Moraines are part of a conspicuous system of ice marginal deposits of Younger Dryas age (10,000-11,000 BP) that has been mapped around the periphery of southern and western Norway (Mangerud et al.
