It forms part of a risk assessment of underground gas storage in the UK for the Health and Safety Executive for which a contribution by Quintessa is presented in a separate report (Watson et al., 2007). For ease of use, the BGS report is presented in two volumes. Volume One comprises the text and appendices. Volume Two contains the figures and tables referred to in Volume One. The report and results contained are subject to either NERC General Conditions of Contract or, if appropriate, conditions previously agreed between NERC and the customer. All such agreements include intellectual property rights (IPR) considerations, including appropriate digital data and copyright licensing fees. Disclaimer: this is wholly independent and impartial review and appraisal of the technology of Underground Fuel Storage (UFS), the incidents or problems encountered at various facilities and the general geological conditions of those areas, with an overview of the potential or likely areas for underground gas storage (UGS) in the UK, outlining the form that this might take. The BGS report neither promotes nor supports UFS, one particular form of UGS or any proposed facility location. Additionally, it does NOT address the control or prevention of pollution, safety of the surface or subsurface infrastructure: the assumption here being that the design, maintenance and operation of such facilities would be subject to the various HSE, waste and environmental regulations covered by such documents as the COSHH (2002), COMAH (1999) and appropriate British Standards. For specific elements of an underground gas storage facility, e.g. wells and surface installations, and operational procedures, it is assumed that UGS applications would be subject to existing BS standards and legislation for oil and gas exploration and should be applied or referred to in the first instance. The parallel legislation includes: • The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 • The Borehole Sites and Operations Regulations 1995 • The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 • The Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1999 • The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 (as amended) • The Pipelines Safety Regulations 1996 • The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 These are in addition to the controls imposed under the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 and the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 1992. Whilst the BGS has made every effort to provide the HSE with a programme of work and report designed to meet their needs, this study is part of work in progress. BGS cannot be held responsible for: (i) any measurements, tests or other activities that have not been included in the work and any resulting report that subsequently become important at a later date; or (ii) any use which may be made of any part of this work in progress, nor any reliance placed on any part of this work in progress, nor any advice or information given in connection with this work in progress. The British Geological Survey (BGS) has no responsibility for the persistence or accuracy of URL’s for external or third-party internet websites referred to in this publication, and does not guarantee that any content on such websites is, or will remain, accurate or appropriate. However, hardcopies of the documents referenced have generally been made by the report writer(s) and could be obtained by writing to them. i Acknowledgements Many individuals have provided discussion during the project and to whom the author is grateful.

Kesey is a young, talented novelist who has just seen his first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestpublished, and who is consequently on the receiving end of a great deal of fame and fortune. While living in Palo Alto and attending Stanford's creative writing program, Kesey signs up to participate in a drug study sponsored by the CIA. The drug they give him is a new experimental drug called LSD. Under the influence of LSD, Kesey begins to attract a band of followers. They are drawn to the transcendent states they can achieve while on the drug, but they are also drawn to Kesey, who is a charismatic leader. They call themselves the "Merry Pranksters" and begin to participate in wild experiments at Kesey's house in the woods of La Honda, California. These experiments, with lights and noise, are all engineered to create a wild psychedelic experience while on LSD. They paint everything in neon Day-Glo colors, and though the residents and authorities of La Honda are worried, there is little they can do, since LSD is not an illegal substance. The Pranksters first venture into the wider world by taking a trip east, to New York, for the publication of Kesey's newest novel.

  • Detailed Assessment of NO2 at South Killingholme
    Local Authority Dr Matthew Barnes Officer Department Environmental Health (Commercial) Church Square House Scunthorpe Address North Lincolnshire DN15 6XQ Telephone 01724 297336 e-mail [email protected] Date January 2016 Report Status Final Report 1 Executive summary North Lincolnshire Council’s Air Quality Progress Report 2011 identified a possible exceedance of nitrogen dioxide alongside the A160 in South Killingholme. For this reason, in October 2013 North Lincolnshire Council installed an air quality monitoring site to more accurately measure nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide and nitrogen oxides at this location. Nitric oxide (NO) is mainly derived from road transport emissions and other combustion processes. Nitric oxide is not considered to be harmful to health, however, once emitted to the atmosphere it is rapidly oxidised to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which can be harmful to health. NO2 can irritate the lungs and lower resistance to respiratory infections. Continued exposure to concentrations above the recommended air quality objectives may cause increased incidence of acute respiratory illness in children. The main source of NO2 is from road traffic emissions. At South Killinghome the principle source is from vehicles using the A160 dual-carriage way, which provides access to the Port of Immingham, local refineries and power stations. It is also the main route to the proposed Able Marine Energy Park, a deep water quay and manufacturing facility for the offshore wind energy industry. To provide better access to the Port of Immingham and surrounding area, the Highways Agency are upgrading both the A160 and A180. It is anticipated that 1 construction will take approximately 16 months and should be completed by Autumn 2016.

  • Appendices, Notes
    APPENDIX 1: Sample Confessions CH'U SSU ygo was a sect teacher from a village southeast of Peking. He was arrested in the fall of 1813. The rebels had considered and then rejected a plan for Ch'u Ssu to lead his men in an attack upon the imperial entourage as it returned from Jehol, and Ch'u was interrogated repeatedly about this plan. His various confessions about this and other matters, taken together with those of some of his associates, illustrate the kinds of information contained in con­ fessions, the reliability of such testimony, and the judicial process that produced them. A. First Interrogation of Ch'ii Ssu Memorial from the Grand Council and the Board of Punishments (KKCK 207.1, CC 18/9/24): On 9/23 we received a report from the censors for the south city [of Peking] saying that they had seized the criminal Ch'ii Ssu and [others]. They have been interrogated. The text of Ch'ii Ssu's confession is attached. Confession of Ch'ii Ssu (KKCK 208.1, 18/9/24) From T'ung district. Age thirty-six. Mother Miss Meng. Older brother Ch'ii Wen-hsiang. Wife Miss Ts'ai. My son Ch'ang-yu-r is ten. I was born the son of Ch'u Te-hsin but then I was adopted by Ch'u Wu. When I was nineteen, Liu Ti-wu brought me and Ch'ii Wen­ hsiang to take Ku Liang (who has since died) as our teacher. I entered the sect and recited the eight characters "Eternal Progenitor in Our Original Home in the World of True Emptiness." On the 14th day of the 8th month [of 1813] Lin Ch'ing told Liu Ti-wu to put me in charge of one to two hundred men and lead them to Yen-chiao [outside Peking] to rise up there.
