Management Approaches Sample Clauses

Management Approaches. In developing the Local Leadership Management Strategy, several approaches were identified as critical to expanding the knowledge and capacity of local officials. These approaches were developed by signatory representatives, a group of local officials and trusted sources. Specific suggestions for programs were provided by local officials and educators that warrant further discussion among stakeholders as to their feasibility and priority given the reality of limited resources. Local officials continue to be engaged in the consideration of specific suggestions during the refresh of the workplan, which accompanies this Management Strategy. The following management approaches set a framework for the Bay Program to identify existing knowledge and capacity building resources, as well as opportunities to enhance, expand or replicate effective programs. In some instances, the Bay Program may consider establishing new programs where needed. Lastly, these management actions should be considered on a state-by-state and region-by- region basis, given the variety of local needs, priorities and approaches to resources management. In addition, continually increasing the knowledge and capacity may require establishment of a system of learning for local officials.

Management Approaches. The Partnership will work together to carry out the following approaches to make progress toward the Toxic Contaminants research outcome. These approaches seek to address the factors affecting our ability to meet the goal and the gaps identified above. The management approach addresses each of the major issues identified at the beginning of the strategy. The management approach builds from existing research and monitoring efforts to address the research gaps and factors influencing our ability to meet the toxic contaminant goal. Since resources are limited, some guiding principles for the management approach are to: • Focus studies on areas where fish and wildlife have been degraded and/or there are human health concerns. • Better understand and identify the multiple stressors and mixtures of contaminant groups contributing to degraded fish and wildlife. • Improve the understanding between sources of these contaminants (and mixtures), their pathways to the environment, and exposures to receptor organisms. • Develop information so decision makers can consider an integrated approach to reduce toxic contaminants by taking advantage of practices being implemented for the Bay TMDL (reduction of nutrients and sediment). Approach: Supply information to make fish and shellfish safe for human consumption This approach will help address the factors (1) communicating the potential impacts of consuming contaminated fish and addressing their causes (2) resource constraints, and (3) synthesis. The resource constraints will be addressed through collaboration with additional partners. An effort will be undertaken to synthesize findings from different studies on selected topics, and communicate findings so decisionmakers can further reduce PCBs and associated fish consumption advisories. The current toxic contaminants prevention and policy management strategy is focused on reducing the impacts of PCBs since they are the leading cause for fish consumption advisories in tidal waters. Additional science will be generated to help address several research needs about PCB including: (1) identifying sources, (2) status and change in the environment, and (3) BMP effectiveness. Identify sources: Improve understanding of sources and fate of PCBs in the environment to inform mitigation options. The activities would range from summarizing best practices for PCB track down studies, informing stakeholders of results of atmospheric deposition studies, WWTP biosolids and effluent loads as...

Management Approaches. The Partnership will work together to carry out the following actions and strategies to achieve the Toxic Contaminants Policy and Prevention goal. These approaches seek to address the factors affecting our ability to meet the goal and the gaps identified above. In addition, partner efforts to address toxic contaminants other than PCBs will be reflected in the biennial work plan and future iterations of this strategy. The TCW’s primary objective is to develop a management approach that adds value to the ongoing work of jurisdiction, federal, and local entities with respect to PCB controls and reductions. In keeping with the Chesapeake Bay Program Partnership’s (the Partnership) mission, the TCW will look for opportunities to accelerate, enable and continually improve the management actions described above, finding synergies and opportunities to share information across the partnership about what approaches are most cost effective (including based on information from other watershed programs). The management approach described below identifies near term actions that are directly focused on management actions to reduce PCBs as well as the continuation of data synthesis and analysis to enhance future decisions on how the Partnership can enhance existing efforts. A key objective in the management approach is to seek out innovation and develop new commitments and stakeholder partnerships that will work to reduce PCBs within regulatory programs and across voluntary programs and to engage diverse communities in these efforts. The approach will be informed by analysis of the relative size of the PCB load across the different pathways and sources followed by assessment of where there are opportunities to enhance existing programs for those sources and to create new programs. The management approach will be highly influenced by what we learn from other watersheds (e.g., Delaware Bay and the Great Lakes) as far as identifying management actions with the lowest cost and highest benefit. Activities are described within the following top-level categories: Regulatory Approaches, Education and Awareness, Voluntary Programs, and Science. Regulatory Approaches Monitoring • Continue jurisdictional monitoring programs for PCB occurrence to assess need for new TMDLs and progress related to reducing PCB loads Jurisdiction TMDL Implementation • Continue TMDL implementation utilizing to the extent possible the outputs of this strategy including data compilations, results of enhanc...

Management Approaches. The Partnership will work together to carry out the following approaches to make progress toward the Toxic Contaminants research outcome. These approaches seek to address the factors affecting our ability to meet the goal and the gaps identified above. The management approaches address each of the major issues, and associated factors, identified at the beginning of the strategy. The management approaches build from existing research and monitoring efforts to address the research gaps and factors influencing our ability to meet the toxic contaminant goal. The factor of resource constraints applies to, and are discussed, for each management approach. The factor of synthesis is discussed in several management approaches. Approach: Synthesize scientific information to make fish and shellfish safe for human consumption This approach will help address the factors and gaps associated with (1) summarizing information on the occurrence of fish consumption advisories and the sources of contamination, (2) resource constraints, and (3) synthesis. This management approach is focused on PCBs and mercury since they are the primary contaminants causing fish consumption advisories. It addresses the factor “Understanding and defining sources of contamination leading to fish consumption advisories”. The approach for PCBs includes actions ranging from: • Refining PCB sources and methods for source identification through both literature and field study communication • Compare and identify science-based commonalities and differences of source tracking and PMP guidance documents from jurisdictions and the new EPA TMDL Vision 2.0 document; • Leveraging existing studies to enhance information on the sources of PCBs in environment. Examples include the Baltimore Areas study and several studies in the Anacostia and DC.. • Working toward a hierarchy of PCB monitoring and analytical methods for desired use to promote comparison of data across the watershed for similar needs and begin to assess feasibility, design, and funding of enhanced monitoring for PCBs to evaluate recovery of surface water/fish in areas where management for PCBs is occurring or planned. • Stay informed on progress of models in Xxxxx River, Anacostia, upper Potomac, any others as they may inform adaptive management decisions/areas of focus for others in the watershed. These results will inform the current toxic contaminants prevention and policy management strategy, which is focused on reducing the impacts of PCBs...

  • Project Approach € Project schedules and budgets are reviewed by the Project Manager on a weekly basis during our company-wide Project Managers Meeting using project status reports generated by our control software (Deltek Vision). Progress is compared to the schedule and budget to ensure adequate resources are available and that necessary coordination is occurring. Costs are reported real time, with actual labor based on time sheet entry and actual expense costs based on invoices. The reporting system can be customized to track specific tasks or efforts in multiple categories, making it flexible enough to adapt to any project specific requirements. We hold regular project coordination meetings to facilitate communication and information transfer among the design team. These meetings are held weekly and are supplemented with e-mail communication, as well as telephone conversations. We hold monthly project status meetings with your project manager to update project status, discuss priorities, and receive direction from City staff. This provides an opportunity for communication and information to flow openly between the City and the design team. These meetings are supplemented by communications that will occur via e-mail and telephone. We conduct meetings with other agencies and stakeholders impacted by the work as needed. E-mail and telephone communication work well for quick questions or minor issues, but we have found that the most effective means of communication with other agencies and stakeholders is the “old-fashioned” face- to-face mexxxxx. Xxbble’s record of providing quality civil engineering services to our clients reflects our ability to manage multiple projects effectively and efficiently. Our philosophy is that each project is personally overseen by one of our principal officers, thereby providing immediate attention to all project aspects (i.e. negotiations, communications, schedule, budgets).
