Boundary setting procedure Sample Clauses

Boundary setting procedure. Assumption for species composition: skewed linear relation between quality of the ecosystem and the species composition. I. e. there is resilience against pressures, but once species start disappearing more will follow, leaving only the hardiest species to remain in the ecosystem. Abundance: merging of available historical catch data. 20%-percenitle values are the class boundaries.

Boundary setting procedure. The EU-WFD requires the ecological assessment of water bodies to be expressed in the 5 ecological status classes “high”, “good”, “moderate”, “poor” and “bad”. Since all European water bodies have to be protected or enhanced in order to achieve at least “good” ecological status by 2015, the correct classification of a water body is crucial. A misclassification into a lower ecological status class would lead to unnecessary implementation and realization of restoration measures and hence to an avoidable consumption of financial resources of the regional and national administrations in EU member states. On the other hand, can the misclassification into a lower ecological status class lead to a situation where a water body that would actually be in need of restoration efforts is not considered and remains in a poorer status than the good ecological status. We suggest here to use the boundary setting method described for river benthic macroinvertebrates (Intercalibration Common Metric Index (ICMi) from the AQEM/STAR project) in Erba et al. (2009) that is based on the EU Guidance document CIS (2003). Xxxx et al. (2009) defined reference sites in compliance with the EU WFD (Hering et al. 2003, Xxxxxxx et al. 2004, CIS 2003). The 25th Percentile of ICMi values at the reference sites was set as the High/Good boundary and the Good/Moderate (G/M), Moderate/Poor (M/P) and Poor/Bad (P/B) boundaries were defined as 75 %, 50 % and 25 % of the High/Good boundary value, respectively. This classification was then used to validate the class boundaries determined in the intercalibration exercise performed for streams in the Central-Baltic, Alpine and Mediterranean GIGs (Geographical Intercalibration Groups) and the results were in good agreement with the intercalibration class boundaries. The calculated boundary classes for LIMCO and LIMHA (MP = macrophytes, ST = stones, SA = sand) are listed in Table 9. We used in each biogeographical region all sites with the a-priori classification “natural” as reference sites. We then calculated the 25th Percentile as the H/G boundary for LIMCO and LIMHA and derived the G/M, M/P and P/B boundaries according to Xxxx et al. (2009) (see above).
Boundary setting procedure. The boundary setting procedure is orientated at the normative descriptions of the WFD (Annex V; 1.
Boundary setting procedure. The boundaries were set at the zones of distinct changings of the biocoenosis (macrophytes and phytobenthos), and depending on indicator species lists derived from nutrient dependent TI (diatoms).

  • Bumping Procedure In the application of this Article, permanent part-time employees cannot displace permanent full-time employees or vice versa provided that permanent full-time employees who have exhausted their bumping rights hereunder and are to be laid off from work shall have the right to displace a permanent part-time employee with lesser GO seniority, within their section. Such bumping within the section may only be in a downward or lateral direction provided they are qualified, willing and able to do the work (refer to Schedule “E-I” and “E-I OFPT”). Downward shall be defined as lesser pay per hour and/or lesser hours per week (permanent full-time vs. permanent part-time). Lateral shall be defined as same pay per hour. In the application of this Article, permanent part-time employees cannot displace permanent full-time employees or vice versa provided that permanent full-time employees who have exhausted their bumping rights hereunder and are to be laid off from work, shall have the right to displace any permanent part-time employee with lesser GO Transit seniority, within their section provided they are able, willing and qualified. Due to the nature of the bumping procedure and the unpredictability of the direction and results of that bumping, the layoff must take precedent over all other normal movement of employees (i.e., standing applications). During layoffs an employee may choose to accept an open position for which he/she is qualified rather than bumping within their classification or section and should he/she elect this option, they shall retain recall rights to the original classification without loss of seniority. Where an OFPT employee who has been notified or is on layoff and currently possesses the qualifications and skills of a position they have held previously, then the employee may bump laterally or downward within their section or another section where the previously held position is identified. At the time of layoff the employee must satisfy the criteria identified in the current job description, and the employee must have satisfied the performance standards of that classification. Should the parties agree that the bumping procedure will likely cause significant movement within a classification or section, then the parties may agree to have a “master” sign-up take place which will be the sole responsibility of the Union to administer.
