The Gilboa Dam And Its Possible Failure : What It Means For Nyc And Upstate New York, Kelly C. Owings
Honors Theses
The majority of the NYC water supply is provided by a system of dams and reservoirs that have been created in upstate New York. As the owner of this water supply system, NYC is responsible for managing each of the dams and reservoirs within the system. This responsibility includes upholding dam regulations in order to ensure the safety of the citizens of the surrounding area and to lesson any environmental impacts that may occur due to the water supply system. Of the 30 dams owned by NYC, however, 25 of them have been identified at a high-hazard level according the …

The paper presents the problem of uncontrolled waste combustion in a rural community (Municipality Krościenko Wyżne, South-East Poland) and social awareness concerning the formation of dioxins using the results of the survey. In the questionnaire studies both combustion of wastes in household stoves was included as well as on the open space. The results of the survey showed a large scale of waste burning and low public awareness of inhabitants of the Polish village.
English title: Public awareness in the field of uncontrolled waste combustion and the problem of dioxins.

Military Innovations Adapted To Feral Hog Control In Sw Georgia, Rod Pinkston
National Conference on Feral Hogs (2008)
Advanced technology of our nation’s military dominates the battlefield in combat. However, we are currently at war with feral hogs in our country and severely losing the battle in many states. Traditional methods are not effective. We have used lessons learned from experienced Soldiers to implement tactical strategies and design equipment for the four-legged feral enemy within our borders. Technical advances in thermal imaging equipment derived from military operations are being applied to feral hog control in southwest Georgia using first to civilian market infrared equipment. These infrared devices allow users to acquire and identify targets in total darkness out …

Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri: A Feral Hog Eradication Success Story, Kenton Lohraff
National Conference on Feral Hogs (2008)
The proliferation of invasive exotic species presents one of the most important challenges that natural resource managers face today. The feral hog (Sus scrofa) has been a problem in the southern US in recent decades and is now a growing concern in North America with an expanding distribution northward. The spread of this prolific and adaptable species seems to be aided by intentional releases of animals on remote public properties. Feral hogs were successfully eradicated on Fort Leonard Wood (FLW), Missouri by the combined efforts of hunting by the general public and trapping by natural resource managers. Hogs …

Abstract:
The United States currently faces a nuclear waste crisis. According to a 2002 report by former Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, “We have a staggering amount of radioactive waste in this country.”1 The Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that by 2035 the U.S. will have approximately 115,000 metric tons of high-level nuclear waste, which exceeds the capacity of the proposed federal storage site at Yucca Mountain.2 Deciding where and how to store nuclear waste is a significant nuclear, environmental, and health policy issue. The decisions that we make about nuclear waste siting greatly impact the future of nuclear technologies …

Governor Blunt’S Missouri Feral Hog Task Force: Engaging State And Federal Agencies With Private Stakeholders, Rex Martensen
National Conference on Feral Hogs (2008)
Feral hogs are a serious concern for Missouri. Their rooting and feeding behavior contributes to soil erosion, reduced water quality, and damage to agricultural lands including cropland, pasture and hayfields. Feral hogs are a direct threat to natural resources and native wildlife, including endangered plants and animals. The spread of disease by feral hogs is another major concern and there is potential for these diseases to jeopardize people, pets and livestock and, in particular, the private pork industry in Missouri.
By Executive Order, Governor Matt Blunt created a director/administrator level, multi-agency task force to address the issues associated with feral …

When the Sustainable Portland Task Force Report was released in November 2007, under the leadership of Mayor Jim Cohen, Portland Councilor Kevin Donoghue had the idea that students at the Muskie School of Public Service might be able to help implement recommendations from the report. It may have helped that Kevin was himself a graduate of the Community Planning and Development Master’s program at the Muskie School, but it was a good idea nevertheless. He approached Professor Sam Merrill in the CPD program, who spoke with the new Mayor Ed Suslovic about a possible partnership between the City and the …
