Purpose of the Report. 1.1. To agree the budget allocation proposals from the Community Area Transport Group (CATG) for the Warminster Community Area.
Purpose of the Report. In accordance with the Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Manual, environmental baseline monitoring was carried out for noise. This Baseline Monitoring Report (Part 5) contains noise monitoring findings at CN 30 (Roof floor of Man Cheong Street Refuse Collection Point1) in the vicinity of Works Area V2 (Figure 1). The purpose of this report is to summarize the finings of this baseline monitoring and to establish the compliance levels for the subsequent environmental impact monitoring during construction stage.

Purpose of the Report. The aim of this report is firstly to summarise the potential models that could be used in order to carry out a water balance simulation for each of the five WASSERMed case studies. This is done in the form of a table which gives brief details about many potentially useful models. After this, the report outlines in detail the theory and practical development of the two chosen modelling concepts to be used within WASSERMed: System Dynamics Modelling (SDM) and the WaterStrategyMan Decision Support System (WSM DSS). For each of these two concepts, the background of how modelling proceeds is given, highlighting their suitability in multi-disciplinary studies such as those being undertaken for WASSERMed. By detailing the strengths behind each modelling concept, the rationale for their use in WASSERMed is explored, and a strong case for each is presented. The report then introduces the current state of development with respect to the water balance models for each of the five case studies. SDM is introduced, following model development from the conceptual phase, where systems are described in qualitative terms in order to get a better idea of their functioning, through to quantitative model development. SDM models are iterative. They tend to start off simply, then as discussions progress between all interested parties, complexity is introduced until the model is believed to accurately represent that part of the system under consideration. Model performance can be tested against real-life data in an attempt to verify that it is mimicking the system well. SDM allows for simply sensitivity and uncertainty analyses to be carried out. In addition, because SDM can take many inputs, the outputs can e tailored to suit the needs of the end user. WSM DSS simulates water supply and demand, and can prioritise each such that certain water sources remain 'protected' or such that critical infrastructure never runs short of water. Policy decisions can be tested, and the effect upon the water balance can be analysed. Various options can be ranked according to user defined criteria, allowing for rapid assessment of those options deemed the most suitable. Economic analyses may also be carried out. Finally, a GIS interface allows for a participatory modelling process. Once the models have been introduced, the state-of-development in each case study is outlined, and the latest versions of the water balance models (at the time of writing) are presented. In some case studies, both SDM a...
Purpose of the Report. 1.1 To seek Authority approval to enter into an agreement with a partnership of North East Local Authorities for the purchase of Landfill Allowances and to authorise the Clerk to affix the Seal of the Authority to the contract.
Purpose of the Report. 1.1 The purpose of the report is to update members regarding discussions with officers from Durham County Council regarding the future of the Service Level Agreement for Winter Maintenance.
Purpose of the Report. 37) The purpose of this report is to analyse the regulatory framework for community acceptance of shale gas in the EU, chiefly through a review of literature, policy documents and legislation, at the level of the EU and selected Member States most relevant for the development of the shale gas industry in the EU, related to public participation, access to information and access to justice, in decisions pertaining to the whole shale gas industry or specific projects. The case for such review stems from the following: “[a]s for many other industrial activities with environmental effects, local populations tend to oppose developments that are too close to their homes (“Not in My Backyard effect”),”111 110 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Mastop, 'M4ShaleGas - Prerequisites for a Social Licence to Operate in the (Shale) gas Industries' (December 2016), point 6 at 36. 111 COM(2014) 23 final/2 (n 46), 7 “in several Member States, citizens' actions have prevented shale gas exploration projects from going forward,”112 “in several Member States, and even in the ones in which governments support shale gas, public opposition is quite vocal, with local, regional or national actions (marches, public meetings…),”113 “[t]he European Parliament Committee on Petitions (PETI Committee) received more than ten petitions from six Member States, some of which were signed by some 15 000 citizens, most calling for a ban or a moratorium on shale gas and/or the use of hydraulic fracturing, on the basis of health and environmental concerns.”114
