Agricultural safeguards
Agricultural. Sector The development of the agricultural sector and food processing industry brings with it specific challenges, particularly higher costs and poor net value when compared to other systems within the European Union. The sector is characterised by livestock systems that are only partially modernised or environmentally friendly; achieve relatively low production levels; and skill levels among some businesses, thus having an impact on the efficiency and sustainability of operations. A poor quality domestic fodder production linked to high dependence on imported feeds and associated transport costs also pose challenges to the sustainability and competitiveness of the industry. In this regard, assistance to the farming community to adopt innovative approaches to become more sustainable and to enable investment to improve the rural investment and competitiveness of the industry is necessary. Furthermore, investment in management skills and innovation in product development is also required to enhance diversification and efficiency resulting in added value and increasing returns to the business and thus contributing towards the sustainability of the sector.

In the event that Lessor is unsuccessful in securing a change in zoning classification in order that Lessee may use the property for Lessee’s Intended Use, Lessee shall have the right and option to cancel this lease for a period of 30 days following a final decision by the Plaquemines Parish Commission Council (the “Council”) refusing to change the zoning classification provided, however, that Lessee may, in its sole discretion, by notice in writing 2. to Lessor within 10 days of an adverse decision by the Council, require Lessor to bring a suit in a court of competent jurisdiction, contesting the adverse decision of the Council in which event Lessee shall have the right and option to cancel this Lease for a period of 30 days following a final non-appealable adverse decision by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Agricultural. Outcome The agreement regarding the Chesapeake Bay Watershed needs to be all inclusive of the factors that affect the watershed: the water as well as the surrounding lands that drain into it (which include farmlands). Please make sure that any new laws and regulations include these aforementioned factors. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, 7-21-13 GIT 3 Consulting with GIT3 chairs on 8/5-8/6. GIT has made previous decisions to exclude sector- specific Goals/Outcomes. Toxic Contaminant Outcome - Monitoring/research outcome MB 7-12-13 review of PSC 6- 27-13 none RESOLVED The monitoring and research outcome was approved by the MB. Toxic Contaminant Outcome - Loadings outcome PA, WV, VA - voiced objections to this outcome MB 7-12-13 review of PSC 6- 27-13 Adhoc Toxics group - respond to jurisdictions’ concerns. Issues Resolution Committee - consider Adhoc group response. UNRESOLVED The IRC is considering options developed by the Toxics Ad Hoc Workgroup. The discussion will continue on 8-21-13 with firmer positions from the signatories and a consensus decision. Toxic Contaminants The new agreement should go further in addressing human health concerns related to toxic contaminants, endocrine disruptors, etc. Choose Clean Water Coalition, 7-11-13 Adhoc Toxics group / Issues Resolution Committee UNRESOLVED – see above Toxic Contaminants We are glad that recent drafts added some mention of the impacts on human health from toxic contaminants and other emerging contaminant issues, such as endocrine disrupters. The new Bay Agreement should go further than the current general language that contains a couple of vague commitments. Choose Clean Water Coalition 7-10-13 Issues Resolution Committee UNRESOLVED – see above Toxic Contaminants An agreement without a toxics goal doesn’t sit well. CBF, 7-11-13 Adhoc Toxics group / Issues Resolution Committee UNRESOLVED – see above Toxic Contaminants Outcome A modern Bay agreement must include a toxics outcome. One of the valuable aspects of the Bay Program partnership is the collective knowledge and information sharing among scientists and managers. Implementation of a toxic contaminants reduction strategy is an issue that can benefit from the jurisdictions’ collective knowledge and successes on toxics that are severe and widespread. Toxic pollution that causes fish advisories could have long‐term impacts on human health, particularly in communities at risk due to subsistence fishing. We believe it would be appropriate for future strategies to focus...
Agricultural. The Property has historically been used for agricultural activities and the Developer may pursue bona fide agricultural and silvicultural uses on the Property unless all permits and approvals necessary for a portion of the Agreement are within an approved Site Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, Site Plan is defined as either a non- agricultural site plan approval or a residential improvement plan approval from the County. There may be numerous Site Plans on the Property so if a Residential or Non-Agricultural Site Plan is approved for one area, agricultural use will stop in that area but may continue in others without approved Site Plans.
