Background and General Information. This proposal is to continue the contract to maintain the comprehensive database for the Duval County Manatee Protection Plan that was approved by the State of Florida. This proposal is for the period of October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The City of Jacksonville has embarked on a focused vision to activate the St. Xxxxx River with extensive effort to promote development and increase boating activity on the St. Xxxxx River. The Florida Manatee (Trichechus manatus) is Florida’s state marine mammal and is a significant concern to the people of Duval County, as well as the entire state. Throughout Florida, the manatee, which is protected under state and federal law, has suffered increasing mortality with the majority of thedeaths repeatedly related to boating activities. Northeast Florida, including Duval County, has shown a general decline in manatee deaths over the past several years. The St. Xxxxx River provides a habitat for the manatee along with supporting tremendous recreational and industrial use. Boat traffic in the river is very diverse. It includes port facilities for large industrial and commercial shippers, commercial fishing, sport fishing and recreational activity. More than 200 large commercial boats/ships per month enter and exit the mouth of the St. Xxxxx River in Duval County with the number expected to increase over the next decade with the possible deepening of the port channel. These vessels represent a significant economic factor for Duval County and the entire First Coast. In addition, there are almost 30,000 recreational boats registered in Duval County. A wide range of manatee usage of the St. Xxxxx River has been observed. Manatees are most often seen traveling or moving from one location to another. Manatees were also observed feeding, cavorting/mating and resting. Distribution varies throughout the year with sightings of manatees during the late winter season being uncommon. Manatee abundance in Duval County waters increased during the spring and peaked during the late summer (Xxxxxx 1991, White 2002). Jacksonville University has conducted additional studies to build a significant database to be used to develop a Manatee Management Plan. The large amount of boating activity on the St. Xxxxx River and the number of manatees that has been documented using the river make it critical that a comprehensive management plan for the waters of Duval County be enacted to protect both manatee and human activity. We have been accumulating ...
Background and General Information. 4.1.1 Railway lines connecting the four metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata are termed as “Golden Quadrilateral & its Diagonal” (GQD), which comprise only 16% of route length, but carries more than 58% of total freight traffic carried over IR. In 2006, Government of India (GOI) established the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) under the Companies Act of 1956, as a Special Purpose Vehicle, wholly owned by the Ministry of Railways (MOR), with mandate to build and operate Dedicated Freight Corridors (Eastern and Western Corridors).
4.1.2 Two dedicated freight corridors are presently under construction namely Eastern Corridor (EDFC) from Sahnewal to Sonnagar, and Western Corridor (WDFC) from Dadri to Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Port Terminals (Mumbai) with route Kms of more than 2800 kms; are at advance stage of Construction and these corridors will be partially commissioned, shortly. Target Dates of commissioning of over New Palanpur to New Rewari section is March/April 2021. On EDFC the section of New Sahnewal- New Sonnagar is planned to be further extended upto New Dankuni through PPP mode. The DFCCIL corridors will be immensely enriched rail corridors on account of heavier axle load feature, larger moving dimensions, higher speed, higher throughput capabilities and enhanced safety elements inbuilt into the system. DFCCIL envisages to launch customized transportation products on these sections and further on new upcoming sections. One of such segments will be focused on non-conventional rail transportation products on the above new section of New Rewari- New Palanpur, which will be operated and managed by selected business partners of DFCCIL. Pursuant to Mandate given by the Railway Board Vide Letter no- TCR/1078/2020/RO- RO/DFCCIL/3333602 dated 15-01-2021, DFCCIL proposes to operate RORO trains between New Palanpur and New Rewari. In this product segment, loaded and empty trucks can be carried on flat rail wagons provided by DFC, which will enable door to door service piggying back on fast and safe movement assured by DFC. These wagons will be modified for safe carriage of trucks in which trucks will be properly secured on the top of flat wagons. On WDFC, trucks with high payload of not more than the permissible carrying capacity of the wagon, can be easily carried on flats owing to higher and wider moving dimensions’ clearance available in the section.

The DFC will offer upgraded freight services by running higher axle load freight trains with speed upto 100 kmph on an efficient system. The DFCs will provide a quantum jump in rail transport capacity in line with the rapidly growing demand and help increase the Railway’s modal share of Freight traffic.
