Forest Fires. Protect biomass facility and neighboring communities by removing excess forest fuels from surrounding areas, which will 4 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) requires projects funded by the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) to result in ratepayer benefits. The California Public Utilities Commission, which established the EPIC in 2011, defines ratepayer benefits as greater reliability, lower costs, and increased safety (See CPUC “Phase 2” Decision 00-00-000 at page 19, May 24, 2012, xxxx://xxxx.xxxx.xx.xxx/PublishedDocs/WORD_PDF/FINAL_DECISION/167664.PDF). 5 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) also requires EPIC-funded projects to lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers that prevent the achievement of the state’s statutory and energy goals. help reduce the potential for forest fires and the costs required for fire suppression. • Open Pile Burning – Avoid open pile burning of up to 50,000 BDT/yr of forest biomass (up to 8.5 million BDT/yr at full market penetration) • Air Quality Benefits – Through offsets, reduce GHG emissions by 15,970 metric tonnes CO2eq/yr. Reduce NOx, VOC, CO, and PM compared to the pile and burn method, where that method would have been used. • Water Use Reductions – This facility will consume about 48.3 million gallons of water per year less than a conventional condenser technology (79% savings).

Forest Fires. The Freiburg Centre provided information on the conference on the consequences of fires on land contaminated by mines or by radiology organized in Kiev, where the issue of transboundary cooperation appeared as essential. The Georgian Centre asked about the role of climate change in such phenomena and the Freiburg Centre pointed out that even if climate change does increase the severity, fires are mainly influenced by human behaviour. Based on those remarks, the Biskra Centre highlighted that the chain reaction of disasters and insidious risks emerge as important issues to address.

Forest Fires. The Freiburg Centre informed on the establishment of a regional monitoring centre for the Balkans in Skopje, an important tool to share information in that region, and recalled that an international meeting on Climate Change and Forest Fires will be organized at the end of June in Freiburg to prepare the 2011 International Wildland Fire Conference. The Centre will pursue its work on global fire inventory and early warning and suggested proposals for post-Copenhagen actions within the UN programme XXXX (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries).

Forest Fires. The catastrophic forest fires during this four year period in Portugal, Greece and more recently in the Russian Federation have stressed the importance of dealing with this hazard, and in particular where their prevention is concerned. With the inclusion in the network of the Freiburg Centre specialised in forest fires and the previous expertise of the Athens Centre, the activities on this specific hazard have increased and attempt to focus on more innovative approaches to the topic. In this respect, a joint study by both Centres on the impact of forest fire smoke emphasized in 2007 the toxicity for both the population and the rescuers. Similarly, the consequences of fires on land contaminated by mines or by radiology, identified as an important problem at a first meeting in 2008, were further discussed in 2009 during a conference in Kiev, where the issue of transboundary cooperation appeared as essential. The role of climate change in forest fire phenomena was also addressed at an international meeting organised in June 2010 in Freiburg, Germany. With the Freiburg Centre acting as leader, an extensive effort on management of forest fires in the Balkan countries was developed, firstly through training carried out in 2008 for forest owners and secondly by the publication of a guide for their intention. The participation of the Agreement to the establishment in 2010 of a regional monitoring centre for the Balkans in Skopje aims to provide an important tool for sharing information in that region and to fostering regional cooperation in the field. Being one of the origins of the Agreement, the recent L’Aquila earthquake emphasized the need to promote seismic related activities in order to be better prepared to deal with such disasters. If supported projects addressed mainly fundamental research, the collaboration of some Centres with their national authorities on earthquake risk and infrastructures must be highlighted as an example of greater synergy between scientists and decision makers. The Rabat Centre developed joint work with authorities on seismic feasibility studies for new cities and existing large dams and public buildings’ vulnerability to earthquakes. Similarly, the Bucharest Centre supported in 2009 the enforcement by the Romanian Government of seismic rehabilitation programmes of existing buildings according to a new national Code taking into account EU codes and standards. The involvement of citizens in earthquake monitoring can also been pointe...

Forest Fires. Forest fire management is the strategy of fire control and fire use (i.e. forest fires). The planning area land base falls within the East Fire Region ‘Intensive Zone’. As such, every fire ignition receives a suppression response based on the following: • Predicted behavior of the fire; • The potential impact of the fire; • The estimated cost of the response; • Where within the intensive zone the fire occurs (i.e. parks); • Determination as to whether there are opportunities for small scale beneficial fire management

  • SAVINGS/FORCE MAJEURE A Force Majeure occurrence is an event or effect that cannot be reasonably anticipated or controlled and is not due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the affected party. Force Majeure includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, acts of war, acts of public enemies, terrorism, strikes, fires, explosions, actions of the elements, floods, or other similar causes beyond the control of the Contractor or the Commissioner in the performance of the Contract where non- performance, by exercise of reasonable diligence, cannot be prevented. The affected party shall provide the other party with written notice of any Force Majeure occurrence as soon as the delay is known and provide the other party with a written contingency plan to address the Force Majeure occurrence, including, but not limited to, specificity on quantities of materials, tooling, people, and other resources that will need to be redirected to another facility and the process of redirecting them. Furthermore, the affected party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resume proper performance within an appropriate period of time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Force Majeure condition continues beyond thirty (30) days, the Parties shall jointly decide on an appropriate course of action that will permit fulfillment of the Parties’ objectives hereunder. The Contractor agrees that in the event of a delay or failure of performance by the Contractor, under the Contract due to a Force Majeure occurrence: a. The Commissioner may purchase from other sources (without recourse to and by the Contractor for the costs and expenses thereof) to replace all or part of the Products which are the subject of the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Contract quantities without penalty or liability to the State, or b. The Contractor will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide Authorized Users with access to Products first in order to fulfill orders placed before the Force Majeure event occurred. The Commissioner agrees that Authorized Users shall accept allocated performance or deliveries during the occurrence of the Force Majeure event. Neither the Contractor nor the Commissioner shall be liable to the other for any delay in or failure of performance under the Contract due to a Force Majeure occurrence. Any such delay in or failure of performance shall not constitute default or give rise to any liability for damages. The existence of such causes of such delay or failure shall extend the period for performance to such extent as determined by the Contractor and the Commissioner to be necessary to enable complete performance by the Contractor if reasonable diligence is exercised after the cause of delay or failure has been removed. Notwithstanding the above, at the discretion of the Commissioner where the delay or failure will significantly impair the value of the Contract to the State or to Authorized Users, the Commissioner may terminate the Contract or the portion thereof which is subject to delays, and thereby discharge any unexecuted portion of the Contract or the relative part thereof. In addition, the Commissioner reserves the right, in his/her sole discretion, to make an equitable adjustment in the Contract terms and/or pricing should extreme and unforeseen volatility in the marketplace affect pricing or the availability of supply. "Extreme and unforeseen volatility in the marketplace" is defined as market circumstances which meet the following criteria: (i) the volatility is due to causes outside the control of Contractor; (ii) the volatility affects the marketplace or industry, not just the particular Contract source of supply; (iii) the effect on pricing or availability of supply is substantial; and (iv) the volatility so affects Contractor's performance that continued performance of the Contract would result in a substantial loss. Failure of the Contractor to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause; provided however, that nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from performing in accordance with the Contract as changed.
