Approach and Rationale Sample Clauses

Approach and Rationale. A systematic process was followed in which all available reports, records, maps, and interviews were analyzed. Reported conditions were evaluated to determine their impact on the characterization, remediation, reuse, and occupation of the NRP. On the basis of this information, conclusions were drawn relative to the environmental condition of the NRP. As discussed previously, physical inspections of the NRP to identify any new potential environmental concerns or to verify information obtained during the records review, were not conducted as part of this EBS. Analysis of the ongoing or completed environmental programs at Xxxxxxx Field included the following: • Building surveys for asbestos and lead based paint (LBP) • Building surveys for mold • Radon monitoring (limited to residential units and NASA buildings not within the NRP) • Management of electrical transformers containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) • Underground and aboveground storage tank (USTs and ASTs) management • Basewide Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Program (Rl/FS) • Installation Restoration and Operable Unit Programs (IRP/OU) • Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan implementation • Hazardous Waste Management, Minimization and Spill Contingency Plans • Assessment of impacts from adjoining properties (MEW Superfund Site) • Evaluation of air quality. Results of each of these programs for Parcel 5 are described in Section 4.0.

Approach and Rationale. This ECP assesses the present conditions at the subject property based on previous studies and reports. The assessments of contaminants, current and past uses of hazardous materials, management of hazardous waste, releases of hazardous substances and petroleum products, solid and bio-hazard waste, asbestos, lead-based paint (LBP), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides and herbicides, storage tanks and radon/radiological materials were primarily based on surveys and investigations conducted under the Naval Base Coronado (NBC) Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Assessment Program. In addition to the document review, a physical site walk was conducted in August 2013 by a NAVFAC SW environmental engineer for this ECP. Surveys and document searches were also conducted by the project proponent to support the lease renewal.

Approach and Rationale. The broad objective of this analysis has been to quantify and compare the degree of temporal (inter-annual and monthly) and spatial (among countries and waterbodies) variation in lake phytoplankton metrics. The three focal metrics have been chlorophyll a concentration, PTI and total cyanobacterial biovolume. Though some previous studies (x.x. XXXXXXX work) have aimed to quantify temporal variation in phytoplankton at the scale of a single lake system, we have attempted the complementary approach of conducting a large-scale (pan- European) analysis that will give a more integrated picture of the degree of temporal uncertainty in phytoplankton metrics. To this end, we statistically modelled metric data calculated from the background dataset. We used linear mixed effects (LME) models to resolve the different independent spatial/temporal components of metric variation, while taking account of the nested (hierarchic) structure of the data set. In simple terms, we constructed a model that described the typical monthly pattern of variation in each metric and that allowed this monthly pattern to be modified as a function of lake attributes that might be expected to affect the course of phytoplankton seasonal succession, and therefore monthly metric variation. For example: Log10(Chl-a) ~ f [(Month*Latitude) + (Month*Longitude) + (Month*Altitude Type) + (Month*Humic Type) + (Month*Lake Type) + (Month*logTP)] (where month, altitude type, humic type and lake type are categorical variables) So, in this case, the interaction terms allow the “typical” monthly pattern in log10 chlorophyll a concentration to change as a function of latitude, longitude, altitude, humic content, lake type (e.g. high alkalinity-very shallow..) and log10 total phosphorus concentration. We feel that this makes more sense biologically than assuming the same monthly pattern in all lakes across the geographical range of the background data set. Within each model we set up a nesting (random effects) structure that describes the hierarchic nature of the data set: data from each sampling date are nested within month, which is nested within year, which is nested within lake, which is nested within country. We then went through a process of selecting the best combination of month-waterbody attribute interactions, so that we could remove waterbody attributes from the model if they were having only minimal effects on monthly variation in metrics. From these models we can obtain estimates of the variance ...
