Task 2. Conducting the Environmental Review To support the environmental review process and preparation of the Environmental Review Record (ERR), our team will compile all relevant environmental documentation into digital (.PDF) format for submittal to FBCCDD for review. Depending on the nature and complexity of the project, documentation may include: ✓ Preliminary site reviews ✓ Tiered reviews (if applicable) ✓ Agency consultation requests/response to agency comments ✓ Public involvement documentation (public notice, public meeting/public hearing information, response to comments, etc.) ✓ Alternatives analysis (8-step process for floodplain and/or wetlands development) ✓ Technical reports for “special studies” including biological assessments, wetland delineation reports, archeological background studies and/or surveys, Phase I/II ESAs, etc. Once MPACT determines whether the proposed activity will be housing or infrastructure, we will assign the review to the appropriate team staff to begin the ERR coordination process. The MPACT team can use HEROS or TIGR to compile the ERR (MPACT ask that Fort Bend County request access for MPACT Environmental Program Staff from the appropriate oversight agency), which will summarize the environmental documentation prepared for the proposed project in HUD’s required format. If necessary, we will participate in comment resolutions workshops with FBCCDD to address comments/revisions to the ERR and supporting environmental technical reports, exhibits, and worksheets.

Task 2. Systems for maintaining unique and secure identities for specimens, subjects and biobanks Task 2 will be to explore systems for maintaining unique and secure identities (object models) for specimens, subjects and biobanks, as well as for keeping track of the handling of permissions for use, analytical results and statistical output. Meta-information on quality of specimens and phenotypes will be integrated. (GA BBMRI, no.: 212111) Primary related deliverables: D5.2, D5.5, Data Protection Deliverable Task 2 can be split into two parts; the part for which it was originally intended, primarily exploration of systems for Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs), and the part for which an additional deliverable was created, the issue of data protection and privacy. For the latter part work is still ongoing in collaboration with WP6 and the final conclusions will be accounted for elsewhere. Deliverable 5.2, dedicated to the first part of Task 2, does not contain a final decision for a particular existing system for Globally Unique IDentifiers (GUIDs). Instead, it outlines the scenarios of what should be made a preceding decision, the one of suitable service architectures for BBMRI in the short and long-term perspective. The service architecture scenarios are connected to the use cases and system design and therefore presented under Task 3 in Section 1.3.4. Additionally, D5.2 contains an inventory of the most important relevant existing GUIDs systems, presented below.
Task 2. Systems for maintaining unique and secure identities for specimens, subjects and biobanks Use cases 1 and 2 in Section 1.1.2 do not require globally unique identifiers issued and to be maintained by an external authority. Hence, surrogate identifiers, which should not contain any semantics, should be used. Exclusion of the semantic information from identifiers makes them more stable. It is important that identifiers can be created and managed locally in a coordinated fashion (Section 1.2.1). If need for a system for globally unique identifies should arise, ISO/HL7 OIDs will be a good choice as they are existing in the health care domain already. Mapping to the surrogates is possible by maintaining 1:1 mapping to surrogate keys, which are managed locally (Section 1.2.1). A final decision on a GUID standard for biological information should be made jointly with other affected ESFRI (Section 1.2.1). Researcher identification and user identification in general is another important issue. Emerging standards like Open Researcher and Contributor ID – ORCID (xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/) should be used. Standard federated authorization and authentication protocols like SAML2 or OpenID must be used (R9). Work on the Data Protection deliverable is ongoing jointly with WP6.
Task 2. Acceptance Acceptance takes place on a quarterly basis, bound to the quarterly report and SLA. Acceptance is documented by an Acceptance Sheet signed by EASO. Acceptance of corrective maintenance deliverables under this task is based on: Accepted project documents (i.e., of any document updated as part of the activities under the contract); Completed and defect free functionalities and developments; Successful deployment at the DG-DIGIT Data Centre, in all required environments; Passed stress testing; Passed vulnerability testing; Passed user acceptance (functional) testing; Reports and minutes are accepted; Quality indicator target is met. Acceptance of technical support deliverables under this task is based on: The system is fully operational for the complete application scope and available on all required Commission environments. The system operates bug free, meaning that all known bugs are registered, prioritized and their fix is planned in subsequent system releases.
Task 2. Complete an online health assessment before the end of the Healthy Living Requirement (HLR) Qualification Period. Non-compliance by an employee, enrolled on a DTE Local 223 medical plan with the above Healthy Living Requirements, will result in the employee being charged a Healthy Living Requirements (HLR) Surcharge (according to the HLR Surcharge Schedule chart listed below) that will be assessed during the Healthy Living Requirements (HLR) Surcharge Period listed below. Non-compliance by an employee’s spouse, enrolled on the employee’s DTE Local 223 medical plan with the above Healthy Living Requirements, will result in the employee being charged a Healthy Living Requirements (HLR) Surcharge (according to the HLR Surcharge Schedule chart listed below) that will be assessed during the Healthy Living Requirements (HLR) Surcharge Period listed below.
Task 2. 8 Air Quality Assessment The project site is located within the jurisdiction of the San Xxxxxxx Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD). The project may result in short-term construction-related emissions and long-term operational emissions, primarily attributable to emissions from vehicle trips. We will consult with the SJVAPCD regarding the project’s potential to cause impacts, and the applicability of the SJVAPCD’s Rules and Regulations. The Air Quality analysis will include the following: • Regional air quality and local air quality in the vicinity of the project site will be described. Meteorological conditions in the vicinity of the project site that could affect air pollutant dispersal or transport will be described. Applicable air quality regulatory framework, standards, and significance thresholds will be discussed. • Short-term (i.e., construction) increases in regional criteria air pollutants will be quantitatively assessed. The ARB-approved CalEEMod computer model will be used to estimate regional mobile source and particulate matter emissions associated with the construction of the proposed project. • Long-term (operational) increases in regional criteria air pollutants will be quantitatively assessed for area source, mobile sources, and stationary sources. The ARB-approved CalEEMod computer model will be used to estimate emissions associated with the proposed project. Exposure to odorous or toxic air contaminants will be assessed through a screening method as recommended by the SJVAPCB. • Local mobile-source CO concentrations will be assessed through a CO screening method as recommended by the SJVAPCD. Mobile source CO concentrations are modeled for signalized intersections expected to operate at unacceptable levels of service (i.e., LOS E or worse). If
