Introduction and Summary. The intent of this Introduction and Summary is solely to summarize the terms of this Mitigation Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the language set forth in this Introduction and Summary and the terms and conditions set forth in the numbered sections of this Mitigation Agreement, the latter shall control. Capitalized terms are defined below. SoCalGas has entered into a Consent Decree with the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles, the Attorney General, and CARB (together, “Government Plaintiffs”) to resolve legal claims against SoCalGas in connection with the natural gas leak from SoCalGas’s Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility in October 2015 (“Consent Decree”). This Mitigation Agreement, which is Appendix A to that Consent Decree, includes the terms governing the discharge of SoCalGas’s “Mitigation Obligation” under the Consent Decree, that is, the obligation to mitigate 109,000 metric tons of methane emissions. This Mitigation Agreement fulfills the requirements from Governor Xxxxx’x January 6, 2016, Emergency Proclamation for SoCalGas to pay for a mitigation program developed by CARB that causes full mitigation, that is limited to projects in California, and that prioritizes projects that reduce short-lived climate pollutants. The Mitigation Projects developed pursuant to this Mitigation Agreement will be dairy-digester biomethane projects, which were proposed in CARB’s March 31, 2016, Aliso Canyon Climate Impacts Mitigation Program and will conform to the Program’s objectives and mandatory project criteria. Pursuant to the terms set forth below, SoCalGas will establish a Mitigation Fund as a trust. SoCalGas will transfer the Mitigation Contribution required under the Consent Decree to a Mitigation Account opened by the Mitigation Fund and serve as initial Administrator of the Mitigation Fund. The function of SoCalGas’s payment of the Mitigation Contribution is to cause full mitigation of the Aliso Canyon leak; it is not a payment in lieu of penalties to CARB (nor is mitigation a Supplemental Environmental Project). The Mitigation Fund will be managed by a Trustee, who will enter into an administrative services agreement with the Administrator. The Mitigation Fund will disburse the Mitigation Contribution to support Mitigation Projects. For the First (Mitigation) Project, the Mitigation Fund will provide partial financing, in the form of loans, to the Dairy Projects, organized into three Clusters, which will capture, upgrade, a...

Introduction and Summary. This deliverable D1.1, “Variability in material and energy feedstock assessed for the different use cases”, is included in the work package WP 1 “Analysis of variable feedstock to identify challenges for retrofitting” of the project. This report provides the results on the study performed to characterize the material and energy feedstock of steel, aluminium and lead furnace charges, including new or alternative inputs. The study includes, but is not limited to, the following issues: • Analysis of variability of scrap types available or new arising in market • Study of new wastes and alternative charge materials regarding its economic usability • Define elements of interest to detect & quantify (tramp elements, valuable alloying elements…) • Establish metal refining/alloying (micro-addition) requirements Besides these general issues, for each use case some individual tasks of material feedstock analysis were defined: BFI, XXX and AMB analysed the variability in the feedstock for the steelmaking use case. The requirements for the steelmaking process with respect to scrap composition in terms of undesired tramp elements (Cu, Sn, P, …) and desired alloy elements (Mn, Cr, Ni, …) were defined. Also, the metallic yield of the different scrap types was analysed. Scrap types with high variability in composition were highlighted. EUT and GRU assessed the inefficiencies in the current production process due to the variability in composition of the Aluminium metal chip feedstock for the aluminium use case.

Introduction and Summary. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is pursuing the West Sacramento General Reevaluation Report (West Sacramento GRR or Project) which consists of improvements to the following levees with the North and South Basin of West Sacramento: The North Basin, which encompasses 6,100 acres, contains: • Sacramento River north levee – 5.5 miles from the Sacramento Bypass south to the Stone Locks on the barge canal. • Port north levee – 4.9 miles from the Stone Locks west to the Yolo Bypass levee. • Yolo Bypass levee – 3.7 miles from the Port north levee north to the Sacramento Bypass. • Sacramento Bypass levee – 1.1 miles from the Yolo Bypass levee to the Sacramento River. • Sacramento Bypass training levee – 0.5 miles west into the Yolo Bypass from the Sacramento Bypass levee. The South Basin, which encompasses 6,900 acres, contains: • Sacramento River south levee – 5.9 miles south along the Sacramento River from the Stone Locks to the South Cross levee (just north of the waste water treatment plant). • South Cross levee – 1.2 miles across the South Basin from the Sacramento River to the Deep Water Ship Channel (DWSC). • DWSC east levee – 2.8 miles from the South Cross levee north to the point where it bends east. • Port south levee – 4.0 miles east from the bend in the DWSC east levee to the Stone Locks. • DWSC west levee – 21.4 miles from the intersection of the Port north levee and the Yolo Bypass levee south to Miners Slough. This project requires authorization from the Corps to modify federal levees (see Attachment B of Programmatic Agreement for alternatives and examples of types of modifications that can occur) under Section 14 of the River and Harbors Act (33 U.S.C. § 408) and a permit to discharge fill to waters of the United States under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1344), and these actions constitute undertakings requiring compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. § 470f). The Corps, as the lead federal agency, must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The Corps is using a phased management approach to Section 106 compliance, as authorized in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 36, Part 800.4(b)(2). This phased management process will be guided by a programmatic agreement (PA), and this Historic Property Management Plan (plan). The purpose of this plan is threefold. • To identify the kinds of properties that are likely to be affected by...
Introduction and Summary. This document details the activities of the Partnerships for Food Industry Development (PFID) Project, coordinated by LSU AgCenter, from July 15, 2001 to January 31, 2002. The primary activity to continue the Project’s assessment process was the conduct of stakeholders meetings attended by processors and other key participants in the industry. In each of the two meetings, presentations were given in the morning and a nominal group process (NGP) was conducted in the afternoon. In the NGP, participants identified the key constraints to growth and development of the industry and which constraints could best be addressed by the Project. Other assessment activities included a Client Profile survey in both countries and a refrigeration survey conducted in Moldova. These activities supplemented the PFID’s Technical Committee’s Initial Assessment (submitted last July) resulting in an overall assessment report (attached to this report) covering issues pertinent to the following: cold chain methodology; trade associations; post-harvest and processing technology; safety, sanitation and standards; and economic issues. The Project’s 1st Annual AWP obligated it to prioritize needs and issues. This was achieved through the conclusion of the assessment activities, which resulted in a number of programmatic recommendations. The Project’s planning process was further refined at the Project’s Advisory Committee Meeting (ACM). After an overview of the Project’s activities for the past year, discussions of sector-specific assessment and future strategies took place. The committee then reviewed each component of the Solution Strategy: support mechanisms, educational and technical capacity building activities and fostering of business partnerships. These activities resulted in the finalization of a solution strategy, in which each recommended activity was assigned a category: “A” activities – which could be conducted with the Project’s own resources, “B” activities – which would require additional donor grants or awards, and “C” activities which would require business partnerships. The Solution Strategy Paper (SSP) serves as a guideline for the second Annual Work Plan (AWP), which has been prepared and includes targets that will be expected as a result of conducting Project activities (both documents are attached to this report). The Project identified four support mechanisms to be undertaken: information management, industry association development, the establishment of the Int...
Introduction and Summary. The substantive issue underlying this appeal is ‘how fast’?: LCANZ’ view is that the Commission’s Advice was not sufficiently ambitious and New Zealand needs to cut its emissions faster. ‘How fast’ was however the central question for the Commission’s Advice:1 … A key challenge for the Climate Change Commission in preparing this advice has been to strike a balance between pushing too hard to ‘catch up’ after years of delay, while also acknowledging that adjusting course after years of minimal action requires hard work. … The world, including Aotearoa, needs to reduce emissions as quickly as possible to limit warning to 1.5°C and reduce the severity of climate change impacts… However, there are constraints as to how quickly low-emissions technologies will come into the country, [and] solutions can be tailored to the Aotearoa context … it takes time to develop supply chain, markets and infrastructure. We must strike a balance that looks for equity across generations so that future generations inherit a thriving, climate resilient and low-emissions Aotearoa.
Introduction and Summary. Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) received a 988 State and Territory Cooperative Agreement grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and is partnering with the three National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL) contact centers in Kansas. The three contact centers are NSPL certified to provide 24/7 coverage for 988 calls and the goal is to ensure a 90% in-state answer rate. To achieve this goal, COMCARE will recruit, hire and train behavioral health workforce staff to respond, intervene, and provide follow-up to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. These efforts will help Kansas successfully implement 988 and meet the demands of citizens who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis.
