Estuarine Spatial Planning Assessment Sample Clauses

Estuarine Spatial Planning Assessment. A comprehensive spatial plan for the Albemarle- Pamlico estuarine system (APES) has never been attempted, despite the region’s challenges arising from many diverse uses of estuarine waterscapes, declining water quality and vulnerable coastal habitats, and significant threats associated with adverse climate change impacts. Problems resulting from competing and expanding uses are rapidly increasing and include user conflicts, environmental degradation, and regulatory inefficiencies. Estuarine spatial planning directly aligns with the APNEP’s ecosystem-based management principles and can advance the region’s ability to meet current and future demands for ecosystem services from the system. Like established land-use planning practices, techniques for estuarine spatial planning seek to identify and define all existing and emerging human activities that are compatible or incompatible, assess the individual and collective impacts of those activities on ecological integrity and ecosystem service provisioning, and determine the optimal spatial and temporal uses of areas to maximize net gains in achieving economic, environmental, and social objectives. Additionally, integrating available geographic information system (GIS) data on climate change scenarios, including sea-level rise vulnerability assessments, expands the utility of estuarine spatial planning to support coastal resilience decision making. With BIL funding, APNEP will initiate the development of a spatial plan for APES by conducting an inventory of uses of estuarine waterscapes and assessing associated interactions with natural resources of CCMP focus, including impacts to ecosystem services. The first step is to work with the PSC to develop a detailed scope of work, including goals, objectives, and deliverables. Progress to Date: STAC devoted their winter 2023 workshop to jumpstart the project through breakout sessions devoted to identifying known datasets of select targeted resources (wetlands, SAV) and the leading stressors associated with those resources. The Project Steering Committee held their inaugural (virtual) meeting in September 2023.

  • Evaluation Cycle: Formative Assessment A) A specific purpose for evaluation is to promote student learning, growth and achievement by providing Educators with feedback for improvement. Evaluators are expected to make frequent unannounced visits to classrooms. Evaluators are expected to give targeted constructive feedback to Educators based on their observations of practice, examination of artifacts, and analysis of multiple measures of student learning, growth and achievement in relation to the Standards and Indicators of Effective Teaching Practice.

  • Multi-Year Planning The CAPS will be in a form acceptable to the LHIN and may be required to incorporate (1) prudent multi-year financial forecasts; (2) plans for the achievement of performance targets; and (3) realistic risk management strategies. It will be aligned with the LHIN’s then current Integrated Health Service Plan and will reflect local LHIN priorities and initiatives. If the LHIN has provided multi-year planning targets for the HSP, the CAPS will reflect the planning targets.

  • Phase I a. In Phase I, the project will be connected as a tap to the Transmission Owner’s 230kV transmission line MWP-2 via one 230kV circuit breaker in series with one of two ring bus breakers for stuck breaker protection (one in each direction) and a tie-line breaker, as shown on the one-line diagram labeled CL-E-IA-01 attached to this Appendix A as Figure 1. The changes to the existing MWP-2 line protection for this arrangement are described in Phase I System Upgrades in Section II of this Appendix A.

  • Impact Assessment If Service Provider desires to make any change, upgrade, replacement or addition that may have an adverse impact or require changes as described in Section 9.6(c) or increase the risk of Service Provider not being able to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement or violate or be inconsistent with DIR Standards or Strategic Plans, then Service Provider shall prepare a written risk assessment and mitigation plan (1) describing in detail the nature and extent of such adverse impact or risk, (2) describing any benefits, savings or risks to DIR or the DIR Customers associated with such change, and (3) proposing strategies to mitigate any adverse risks or impacts associated with such change and, after consultation and agreement with DIR, implement the plan.
