2010 Stanly County Land Use Plan
STANLY COUNTY SECTION 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STANLY COUNTY LAND USE PLAN Introduction to the Final Report This revision of the Land Use Plan for Stanly County updates the 2002 Land Use Analysis and Development Plan that was prepared for the Board of Commissioners by the County Planning Board and County Planning Department. While the 1977 and 2002 plans provided an adequate planning and infrastructure decision-making tool for county officials and the public, changes in county development patterns necessitate an update. Stanly County and the rest of the Yadkin-Pee Dee Lakes region have a reputation as a place of wonderful natural beauty, from the lakes and rivers of eastern Stanly County, to the “rolling Kansas” district of Millingport, to the Uwharrie Mountains near Morrow Mountain State Park. The steady rise in population over the years verifies Stanly County’s livability and reputation as an excellent place to live, work, and play. The county remains one of the leading agricultural counties in North Carolina. The agricultural economy was for decades augmented by a strong industrial sector based on the textile and aluminum industries, among others. In addition, tourism has emerged as an important industry for the county. Today Stanly County lies at the edge of the growing Charlotte metropolitan region, a region that now extends into Cabarrus and Union Counties, both of which share Stanly County’s western border. While indications are already apparent that parts of western Stanly County are experiencing increased development activity, it is expected that major infrastructure projects— among them the completion of the eastern leg of the Interstate 485 Charlotte by-pass, and the widening of NC 24/27 to four lanes from the county line to Albemarle—will speed the rate of development and growth in the county. -
Prohibited and Restricted Chemical List
School Emergency Response Plan and Management Guide Prohibited and Restricted Chemical List PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED CHEMICAL LIST Introduction After incidents of laboratory chemical contamination at several schools, DCPS, The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and DC Fire and Emergency Management Services developed an aggressive program for chemical control to eliminate student and staff exposure to potential hazardous chemicals. Based upon this program, all principals are required to conduct a complete yearly inventory of all chemicals located at each school building to identify for the removal and disposal of any prohibited/banned chemicals. Prohibited chemicals are those that pose an inherent, immediate, and potentially life- threatening risk, injury, or impairment due to toxicity or other chemical properties to students, staff, or other occupants of the school. These chemicals are prohibited from use and/or storage at the school, and the school is prohibited from purchasing or accepting donations of such chemicals. Restricted chemicals are chemicals that are restricted by use and/or quantities. If restricted chemicals are present at the school, each storage location must be addressed in the school's written emergency plan. Also, plan maps must clearly denote the storage locations of these chemicals. Restricted chemicals—demonstration use only are a subclass in the Restricted chemicals list that are limited to instructor demonstration. Students may not participate in handling or preparation of restricted chemicals as part of a demonstration. If Restricted chemicals—demonstration use only are present at the school, each storage location must be addressed in the school's written emergency plan. Section 7: Appendices – October 2009 37 School Emergency Response Plan and Management Guide Prohibited and Restricted Chemical List Following is a table of chemicals that are Prohibited—banned, Restricted—academic curriculum use, and Restricted—demonstration use only. -

S. HOLMES, State Forester RALEIGH Edwards & Broipghton Printing Co. State Printers 1918 STATE GEOLOGICAL BOARD Governor T. W. Bickett, ex officio Chairman Raleigh, N. C.

Joseph Hyde Fratt, State Geologist LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Chapel Hill, N. C., May 22, 1918. To his Excellency, Honorable Thomas W. Bickett, Governor of North Carolina. Sir:—The protection of our forests from fire is generally recognized and urged as a necessary war measure, as well as an essential step towards safeguarding our Nation's future welfare. Owing to the lack of a State appropriation for carrying out the provisions of the forestry law of 1915, education and publicity are prac- tically the only weapons left to the Survey with which to fight this common menace. A report on the destruction to property in this State by forest fires during the past three years, as reported by correspondents in the various townships, together with a sketch of what has been done to combat this evil, should go far in convincing the people of North Carolina that stronger and more effective measures are a vital necessity. I, therefore, submit herewith, for publication as Economic Paper No. 48 of the Reports of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey, a report on the Forest Fires in North Carolina During 1915, 1916, and 1911 , and the Present Status of Forest Fire Prevention in North Carolina. -
Chemical Resistance of Plastics
(c) Bürkle GmbH 2010 Important Important information The tables “Chemical resistance of plastics”, “Plastics and their properties” and “Viscosity of liquids" as well as the information about chemical resistance given in the particular product descriptions have been drawn up based on information provided by various raw material manufacturers. These values are based solely on laboratory tests with raw materials. Plastic components produced from these raw materials are frequently subject to influences that cannot be recognized in laboratory tests (temperature, pressure, material stress, effects of chemicals, construction features, etc.). For this reason the values given are only to be regarded as being guidelines. In critical cases it is essential that a test is carried out first. No legal claims can be derived from this information; nor do we accept any liability for it.

Rules and Regulations for School Health Programs
RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAMS (R16-21-SCHO) STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Department of Health January 1964 AS AMENDED: March 1979 December 1980 May 1989 December 1989 March 1993 January 1996 December 1998 December 1999 December 2000 January 2002 (re-filing in accordance with the provisions of section 42-35-4.1 of the Rhode Island General Laws, as amended) October 2003 June 2005 INTRODUCTION These Rules and Regulations for School Health Programs (R16-21-SCHO) are promulgated pursuant to the authority conferred under RIGL Chapters 16-21, 35-4, and 23-1-18(4) and are estab- lished for the purpose of adopting prevailing standards pertaining to school health programs. Amendments were also promulgated in January 1996 for the purpose of addressing cases of anaphylaxis among students in Rhode Island schools. Anaphylaxis is a medical condition which requires immediate attention. Because children spend a significant portion of their time at school, it is crucial that school personnel are trained to respond effectively to cases of anaphylaxis. In the development of these amended regulations, consideration was given to: (1) alternative approaches; (2) overlap or duplication; and (3) significant economic impact on small business as defined in RIGL Chapter 42-35 which may result from the amended regulations. Based on information available, no alternative approach, overlap or duplication was identified. The need to provide for medical emergencies by adopting minimum standards for school health programs overrode any economic impact which may be incurred. Consequently, these regulations are adopted in the best interest of students in this state. -
