Joint Procedure Development Sample Clauses

Joint Procedure Development. The Corps District/Division and the SMCRA regulatory authority joint procedures may describe how the agencies, in coordination with other relevant state or Federal partners, will participate in pre-application meetings; coordinate the sequencing of the CWA Section 404 permit application process with other authorizations; come to common understandings on technical analyses so as to not issue contradictory permit deficiency letters, findings, or conditions; and describe each agency’s role in the process. Appendix A of this MOU identifies corresponding processes for both the CWA (as implemented by the Corps) and SMCRA (as implemented by state or federal regulatory authorities). These processes have similar requirements for information, public participation, review processes, and objectives and may be conducted jointly and/or concurrently in a coordinated process benefiting the regulators, the public, and the regulated community. OSM will provide technical assistance, upon request, to state SMCRA regulatory authorities and Corps District/Division offices in developing state-specific joint procedures. Improved data collection resulting from a coordinated CWA Section 404 and SMCRA regulatory program should lead to more thorough, descriptive characterization of environmental resources within or affected by the proposed mine plan and this data will improve impact assessments and enhance environmental protection. Agencies are encouraged to adopt and employ standard scientific approaches for data collection and to make such data available to all agencies involved in the regulatory review. Interagency coordination will also allow improved inspection and monitoring of impacts based on changes from the baseline condition and enable mining operations to demonstrate mine plan compliance and reclamation/mitigation success. Joint procedures developed between Corps District/Division offices and the SMCRA regulatory agencies should improve consistency, permit coordination, and processing time frames with logical, concurrent processes. An understanding of the necessity to collect particular data (e.g., benthics, hydrological conditions, ESA surveys) at certain times of year should also allow applicants to build lead times into mine plan development. Such clarified regulatory concepts provide a basis for more predictable business and mine planning decisions by applicants and for other stakeholders to evaluate mining proposals. The SMCRA regulatory authority and District/Divisi...

  • Design Development Phase Services 3.3.1 Based on the Owner’s approval of the Schematic Design Documents, and on the Owner’s authorization of any adjustments in the Project requirements and the budget for the Cost of the Work, the Architect shall prepare Design Development Documents for the Owner’s approval. The Design Development Documents shall illustrate and describe the development of the approved Schematic Design Documents and shall consist of drawings and other documents including plans, sections, elevations, typical construction details, and diagrammatic layouts of building systems to fix and describe the size and character of the Project as to architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical systems, and other appropriate elements. The Design Development Documents shall also include outline specifications that identify major materials and systems and establish, in general, their quality levels.

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.

  • Curriculum Development This includes the analysis and coordination of textual materials; constant review of current literature in the field, some of which are selected for the college library collection, the preparation of selective, descriptive materials such as outlines and syllabi; conferring with other faculty and administration on curricular problems; and, the attendance and participation in inter and intra-college conferences and advisory committees.
