Environmental Regulation. The enforcement services to be delegated all operate on a Monday – Friday basis, although weekends and evening working is possible by prior arrangement, but usually at additional expense. The majority of work undertaken by the Regulatory team involves responding to requests for service made by members of the public, via the Council’s contact centre, or Xxxx Members. Responding to these issues takes up approximately 85% of the time available within the team. On this basis the Area Committee is currently able to direct approximately 15% to be used best to fit with local priorities. The requests for service made in 2010 in Outer North East are detailed at Appendix G together with a summary of the services provided by this part of the team. The work of this element of the service forms part of the next phase of the review of Environmental Services. The Area Committee’s Environmental sub group will need to consider the following, in order to help inform the review and how the existing capacity to respond to local priorities can be best used; • The Area Committee’s top enforcement issues • The preferred balance of approaches locally, i.e. between enforcement, clean-up and educational/promotional activity; and • Geographical hotspots At a xxxx level, local tasking arrangements will be used by the service to lead discussion and ensure the securing of partner resources in problem solving and addressing the priority “grime” issues through joint enforcement.
Environmental Regulation. The enforcement services to be delegated all operate on a Monday – Friday basis, 7am to 7pm, although weekends and late evening/early morning working is possible by prior arrangement, but usually at additional expense. The majority of work undertaken by the Regulatory team involves responding to requests for service made by members of the public, via the Council’s contact centre, or xxxx Members. Responding to these issues takes up approximately 60% of the time available within the team. On this basis the Area Committee is currently able to direct approximately 40% to be used best to fit with local priorities. Environmental Sub-Groups, along with xxxx based discussions, will be used to set priorities and direct regulatory resources to areas and issues of greatest need. Each xxxx will have dedicated patrol resources to be prioritised and directed by xxxx members at a local level. Each xxxx will receive one day of patrol resources every 11 weeks. At a xxxx level, local Crime and Grime arrangements will be used by the service to lead discussion and ensure the securing of partner resources in problem solving and addressing priority “grime” issues through joint enforcement.
Environmental Regulation. (a) The Borrower has no knowledge of receipt of any past, pending or threatened:
Environmental Regulation. In connection with its research and development activities and its manufacturing materials and products, the Company is subject to federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and policies governing the use, generation, manufacture, storage, air emission, effluent discharge, handling and disposal of certain materials, biological specimens and wastes. Although the Company believes that it has complied with these laws, regulations and policies in all material respects and has not been required to take any significant action to correct any noncompliance, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental and health and safety regulations in the future. The Company's research and development involves the controlled use of hazardous materials, including but not limited to certain hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials. Although the Company believes that its safety procedures for handling and disposing of such materials comply with the standards prescribed by state and federal regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be eliminated. In the event of such an accident, the Company could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could exceed the resources of the Company. See "--Factors Affecting Our Operating Results--We Use Hazardous Materials." HUMAN RESOURCES As of March 15, 1999, cti employed 165 individuals (including 60 holding doctoral or other advanced degrees). In recruiting additional staff members, cti expects to receive continued input from its consultants and members of its Scientific Advisory Board and Clinical Advisory Board. The Company's policy is to have each employee and consultant enter into an agreement which contains provisions prohibiting the disclosure of confidential information to anyone outside cti and, in most cases, requires disclosure to cti of ideas, developments, discoveries or inventions conceived during employment and assignment to cti of proprietary rights to such matters related to the business and technology of cti. The extent to which this policy will effectively protect cti's proprietary technology and trade secrets is unknown. See "--Patents and Proprietary Rights."
Environmental Regulation. Except as set forth in Exhibit 8.13 and to the best of the Company's knowledge:
Environmental Regulation. The studies shall include an assessment of the revenue stream generated by the recommended rates and their ability to continue to fully fund water and sewer system costs under the impacts of future water quality and statutory regulations and standards.
Environmental Regulation. Many of the environmental laws and regulations applicable to our regulated Electric Utilities also apply to our Power Generation operations. See the discussion above under the “Environmental” and “Regulation” captions for the Utilities Group for additional information on certain laws and regulations. Clean Air Act. The Clean Air Act impacts our Power Generation business in a manner similar to the impact disclosed for our Electric Utilities. Our Wygen I and Pueblo Airport Generating facilities are subject to Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act and have the required permits in place or have applications submitted in accordance with regulatory time lines. As a result of SO2 allowances credited to us from the installation of sulfur removal equipment at our jointly owned Wyodak plant, we hold sufficient allowances for our Wygen I plant through 2045, without purchasing additional allowances. The EPA’s MACT rule described in the Utilities Group section will apply to Wygen I.
Environmental Regulation. (i) True, correct and complete copies of the most recent environmental reports (the "Environmental Reports") relating to the Premises, which were prepared by, for or at the direction of AFM, have previously been delivered or made available to Edison, and each such Environmental Report is identified in Schedule 3 to this Agreement.
Environmental Regulation. The Company’s activities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may materially adversely affect its future operations. These laws and regulations control the exploration and development of the Lucky Shot property and its effects on the environment, including air and water quality, mine reclamation, waste handling and disposal, the protection of different species of plant and animal life, and the preservation of lands. These laws and regulations will require the Company to acquire permits and other authorizations for certain activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire such necessary permits or authorizations on a timely basis, if at all. Further, environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations. The Company is not currently insured against most environmental risks. Without such insurance, and if the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities would reduce or eliminate its available funds or could exceed the funds the Company has to pay such liabilities and result in bankruptcy.
Environmental Regulation. In the event any part of the treatment of concentrate becomes subject to any additional environmental regulation by any federal, provincial, or municipal legislative or other authority (whether by law, regulation, order, rule, policy, by-law or otherwise) which would result in an increase in the cost to Falconbridge of treating the concentrate, Falconbridge may give notice to Seller setting forth particulars of the regulation and the composition and determination of the estimated cost of compliance therewith. Falconbridge may by such notice request that representatives of the parties meet within 30 days of the date of such notice to renegotiate the terms and conditions of this agreement to provide for a reasonable basis for sharing such additional cost and such notice shall suspend this Agreement with respect to any concentrate which has not, at the time of such notice, been delivered by the Seller to Falconbridge. If agreement on new terms and conditions is not reached within 90 days from the date of such notice, Falconbridge by notice to the Seller at any time thereafter may terminate this Agreement and/or elect to refuse delivery of any concentrate on hand or in transit and any concentrate so refused shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 5.
