Description of resource and land use Sample Clauses

Description of resource and land use. In general, the Paser indigenous people have an extensively cultivated, rain-fed agricultural system, supported by semi-wild plants from the surrounding forest areas. The households maintain livestock as their main source of meat and income, along with wild animals and plants that are collected in the forest. The dependency of people in Muluy and Rantau Layung on the natural resources of the forest has influenced the special patterns of land use. Besides providing the basic needs for food and housing, the different land use types also provide increasing varieties of income. These people have combined swidden agriculture and the use of extracted and cultivated forest products as the basis for their livelihoods. The management of forest resources by indigenous people is closely linked to the management of the village territory and the use of the forest within it based on each area’s potential and the people’s preferences. The land use of the Paser indigenous people means that the forest areas are in a state of flux transformed into swidden cultivations, then into forest gardens, and then finally, the area turns naturally into forest again. According to villagers from Muluy and Rantau Layung, the successive phases of regeneration, from swidden field to primary forest, may take from one to two hundred years. When the swidden plots reach regenerated secondary forest, local people open them back up again into the second swidden cycle. In Rantau Layung, Pak Semok reports that Paser people prefer to return to previous swidden sites in regenerated secondary forest rather than opening primary forest for their ladangs. The Muluy and Rantau Layung village territories are commonly divided into several designated areas. Table 4.1 below gives an overview of the local terminology (collected during field interviews in 2005 and 2006) for various landscape elements. Table 4.1.

  • System Description The wet detention basin is designed to trap 80% of sediment in runoff and maintain pre-development downstream peak flows. The basin has two forebays (smaller ponds) located at the low end of two grass xxxxxx. In addition to runoff conveyance, the grass xxxxxx also allow infiltration and filtering of pollutants, especially from smaller storms. The forebays are each 4 feet deep. They are connected to the main pool by 18 and 24-inch metal pipes that outlet onto a rock chute. The forebays will trap coarse sediments in runoff, such as road sands, thus reducing maintenance of the main basin. The main pool will trap the finer suspended sediment. To do this, the pond size, water level and outlet structures must be maintained as specified in this Agreement (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). The main basin receives runoff from a 67.1 acre drainage area (41.2 acres within the subdivision and 25.9 acres off-site drainage coming from the east). During high rainfall or snow melt events, the water level will temporarily rise and slowly drain down to the elevation of the control structure. The water level is controlled by a 12-inch concrete pipe extending through the berm in the northwest corner of the basin (see Figures 1 and 3). On the face of the 12-inch pipe, there is metal plate with a 3-inch drilled hole (orifice) with stone in front of it. This orifice controls the water level and causes the pond to temporarily rise during runoff events. Washed stone (1- 2” diameter) is placed in front of the orifice to prevent clogging. High flows may enter the grated concrete riser or flow over the rock lined emergency spillway. “As-built” construction drawings of the basin, showing actual dimensions, elevations, outlet structures, etc. will be recorded as an addendum(s) to this agreement within 60 days after [Municipality Name] accepts verification of construction from the project engineer.
