Feasibility of the Project. The Columbus Division of Water is considered fully competent and capable of reaching all of its commitments under this project, having completed successful sampling and analysis in accordance with the provisions of the LCR and having reduced lead levels quickly in the past following an exceedence of the AL. The Columbus Department of Health has a proven track record in delivering services to lead-poisoned children, and has a history of inter- agency cooperation on this issue. Early in 1997, the program was invited to attend the national lead conference in Washington, D.C., conducted by HUD and the National Center for Lead Safe Housing, where Columbus presented on the topic of “Interagency Cooperation and Successful Lead Abatement Programs.” Columbus stated that it is considered to be a national model for such cooperative efforts, and was recognized as such by receiving a Best Practices Award from HUD in 1998 for its educational program. The proposal notes that necessary alliances with government agencies, community groups, parent support organizations, and professional and business groups are in place. The Columbus Department of Health staff have the necessary expertise and are experienced in providing similar services.
Feasibility of the Project. This program is feasible. As discussed above, LSB is prepared to move forward with12 additional remediations because of the issuance of the Policy Memorandum. LSB has the resources and technical expertise to carry out the project. Implementation of the project as proposed would actually be easier, cheaper and therefore more feasible than the alternative – disposing of the debris as hazardous waste.
Feasibility of the Project. EPA is proceeding with development of the Labs21 initiative, and there are no known obstacles to the signing of this FPA. Later case-specific agreements with laboratories will be negotiated through the XL process, and any flexibilities will be coordinated through the appropriate EPA offices to ensure feasibility.
Feasibility of the Project. The Collaborative Process Team will identify the effluent improvement projects that the mill will undertake based in part on the criterion that the projects must be feasible for the facility. Should any of the projects prove infeasible based on technical or cost-effectiveness constraints, the collaborative process provides a means to share information about other projects that may better ensure achieving or surpassing the project’s performance goals. IP has the financial capability, personnel and management commitment necessary to implement this XL project. The Agencies, by signing this FPA, agree to support this project, subject to any public review procedures necessary to implement the legal mechanisms for this project.
Feasibility of the Project. The contract has been negotiated and awarded for delivery of 10,000 FFVs nationwide in the first year of the contract. The FFVs are in final design stage. Xxxx currently plans to begin delivery of the vehicles by the end of April 2000. The USPS will work closely with its stakeholders, in particular the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition, to promote and encourage the development of E-85 fueling at retail fueling stations. The USPS can provide market incentive for retail fueling stations to provide E-85. The USPS can also contract for and receive bulk delivery of E-85 to the facility with a converted on-site underground storage tank. At least two sources of E-85 bulk fuel are presently available. This will provide for immediate E-85 utilization of 71 FFVs.
Feasibility of the Project. The bioreactor concept has already been tested at the Yolo County project, and at other sites in North America and Europe. It has been shown that the technology can feasibly create additional airspace at a landfill. The County has already consulted with the MDE about the proposed project, and MDE supports this proposal. Further, the County has set aside the necessary budgeted funds to implement this project. The project sponsor, primary stakeholders, and regulatory agencies as designated in the Final Project Agreement, agree to support the project, subject to any review procedures necessary to implement the legal mechanism for this project. Further, the XL participant has the financial capability, personnel and senior management commitment necessary to implement the elements of this XL Project.
Feasibility of the Project. The PulseEnhancedTM Steam-Reforming Gasification technology, developed with research funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, is currently at the point in its development to be instituted in a full-scale operation. Pilot scale studies have proven its capabilities and superior attributes over current recovery technology. The following is a list of the Steam-Reforming Gasification pilot studies performed by the technology developers, ThermoChem Recovery International (TRI): • Pilot plant in Zaragoza, Spain, processing 240 kg/day silica-laden straw pulping liquor. • Pilot testing of silica-laden rice straw spent liquor from RAKTA mill in Alexandria, Egypt. • 25-ton per day demonstration plant for spent liquor from bagasse and straw pulp, Erode, India, sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development. • 50-ton per day demonstration at the Weyerhaeuser Company Kraft pulp mill in North Carolina. • 12-ton per day test of sludge containing short fiber rejects and plastics at the Inland Container plant in California. Additionally, TRI has a test facility in Baltimore, Maryland, where over 5,000 hours of testing have been conducted. Part of those hours consisted of two pilot trials on Georgia-Pacific Big Island spent pulping liquor. The first pilot test for Georgia-Pacific occurred in January of 1998 and consisted of 86 continuous hours of operation on the 20-lb/day unit. The 86 hours included 73 hours of pre-conditioning for the unit and fluidized bed and 13 hours of actual test period to generate the required performance data. Results of this initial test conclusively demonstrated the feasibility of this technology for the Big Island liquor. The test achieved a 91.6% carbon conversion rate, generating a product gas with a higher heating value (HHV) of 254 Btu per dscf. The product gas yield was 7,564 Btu per pound of Black Liquor Solids (BLS). The second pilot test, conducted in January of 1999, consisted of a total of four weeks of steam-reforming tests. Two tests were conducted over this time, including a low bed temperature (~1080 degrees F) and a higher temperature (~ 1124 degrees F). The tests processed a total of 5,094 pounds of BLS. The pilot plant operated well over the four-week period, with steady temperature profiles and no evidence of agglomeration, de-fluidization, channeling or heater fouling. The tests achieved carbon conversion rates of 81.3% and 99% for the low temperature and higher temperature runs, respectively. Product gas heating...
Feasibility of the Project. The project sponsor, co-sponsors, and regulatory agencies as designated in the Final Project Agreement, agree to support the project, subject to any review procedures necessary to implement the legal mechanism for this project. Further, each XL participant has the financial capability, personnel and senior management commitment necessary to implement the elements of this XL Project.
Feasibility of the Project. The appropriate specialists have been assembled to explore the research questions, supported by suitable labs, technical equipment, local knowledge and facilities to undertake sampling and fieldwork effectively. • The research materials – environmental, osteological, archaeological and dating, are accessible, available and their potential assessed for this study. Permission and access are assured to the landscapes and sites required. • The methods to be employed are tested, proven and effective for this research. Pilot survey has located the promising regions for detailed analysis. Coring will locate the pollen/ecological samples, aided by GPR technology in locating productive drilling sites. Archive study and survey will add sites to the selection already known. Buried remains will be recorded through GPR, and sampled by trial trench and excavation where appropriate for palaeoeconomic, environmental, cultural and dating samples. • We will employ advanced GIS methods to map, integrate and share the multi-disciplinary data in formats suitable for interpreting changing landscape and cultural conditions over time. These data will record survey features (eg. terraces, soil erosion and ancient sites) coupled with detailed and dated environmental/ geoarchaeological information. • The major cultural institutions (Heritage Malta, Superintendence of Cultural Heritage) in Malta and the local community value the planned outcomes and provide local support, infrastructure and personnel. • This long-established research team has worked effectively together with proven success on projects for more than two decades, and communications between the three research centres will be frequent and coordinated by the PI, supported by three deputies (CI) in Belfast, Cambridge and Malta. The team will meet at frequent intervals for discussion and research, and the travel budget reflects this necessity. Key Milestones have been identified at 9, 19, 36 and 54 months to ensure the programme and activities respond to the results of data collection and analysis. Almost half the personnel budget is directed to support younger, assistant researchers who will not only undertake detailed time-consuming analysis, but also gain experience from experts. • The large team and high cost of the proposed project is realistically designed to maximise specialist knowledge and to tackle the big research question posed here to achieve the planned result. Sufficient clerical support is included in costin...
Feasibility of the Project. The Sponsor has the financial capability, personnel and senior management commitment necessary to implement and oversee the elements of this XL Project. The Agencies, by signing this FPA, agree to support the project, subject to any public review procedures necessary to implement the legal mechanism for the project. 7The press release can be found at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxxxx.xx.xx/dep/deputate/polycomm/ pressrel/ 2000/BaumgardnerCoal010500.html September 22, 2000 FPA The proposed project watersheds are well-suited for the application of this alternative remining approach for the following reasons: 1) the affected stream segments are not currently meeting in- stream water quality standards; 2) remining, employing the appropriate BMPs is likely to result in an overall improvement to in-stream water quality and reduce the total daily load of mine drainage pollutants; 3) significant reminable coal reserves are present in the watershed; 4) there is significant acreage in the watersheds in need of surface reclamation; 5) there are numerous sources of mine drainage entering the watersheds, making monitoring at each individual discharge point less practical than in-stream performance monitoring, 6) discharges are in a location that makes monitoring and establishment of numerical effluent limitations very impractical or impossible; and 7) there are multiple mining and reclamation opportunities available in the watersheds, making it more practical to monitor the combined effect of these projects rather than focusing on the performance at smaller individual parts of the projects.
