Problem Understanding Sample Clauses

Problem Understanding. The Clean Water Act at Section 303(d) and its implementing regulations (Water Quality and Planning and Management Regulations) at 40 CFR 130 require that a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) be developed for those waterbodies identified by the state as to which technology- based and other required controls are not sufficient to achieve applicable water quality standards. Under the consent decree entered in Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, Inc., et al. x. Xxxxxxx, et al., No. 2:95-0329 (X.X.X.Xx. July 9, 1997), a TMDL for the Lower Guyandotte River was scheduled for completion by September 30, 2002, and TMDLs for acid mine drainage (AMD) impaired waters (including many tributaries to the Upper and Lower Guyandotte River) were scheduled for completion by March 30, 2008. EPA and the plaintiffs agreed to a modification of the consent decree for the Lower Guyandotte River. That modification effectively extended the date for TMDL development for the Lower Guyandotte watershed by 18 months to March 30, 2004. The modification provided EPA sufficient time to simultaneously develop TMDLs for both the Lower Guyandotte River and the Upper Guyandotte River and tributaries in both watersheds impaired by AMD and/or fecal coliform bacteria. This is consistent with EPA’s view that, where possible, it is preferable to develop TMDLs on a watershed basis. The extended time frame, however, did not allow sufficient time for the data collection and analysis necessary to develop TMDLs for waters listed as biologically impaired, but as to which no impairing pollutant has been identified. It is EPA’s expectation that WVDEP will establish TMDLs for those waters in accordance with the Watershed Management Framework. For this TMDL report, the Lower Guyandotte and the Upper Guyandotte watersheds were combined into a single watershed called the Guyandotte River watershed. The objective of this study was to develop TMDLs for waterbodies impaired by AMD and fecal coliform bacteria in the Guyandotte River watershed, West Virginia. As a result, TMDLs are being developed for the mainstem Upper and Lower Guyandotte River and waters in the Guyandotte watershed that have been listed on West Virginia’s 1996, 1998 and 2002 Section 303(d) lists as impaired by AMD and/or fecal coliform bacteria.

  • LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING Re: Inverse Seniority Layoffs This letter will clarify the intention of the Parties with respect to the Layoff and Recall provisions set out in Article 11, Section 1, Paragraph 1 of the National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), with respect to temporary layoffs and the application of the Inverse Seniority Provision. The parties agree that in situations of temporary short term layoffs covered under Article 11 of the CBA, seniority employees on the affected shift will be offered the first opportunity for short term layoff, notwithstanding the layoff procedure set out in Article 13 of the Collective Agreement. When applying the Inverse Seniority Provision for temporary short term layoffs, it is agreed that the Company will canvas seniority employees on the affected shift who are willing to be temporarily laid off for the duration of the short term layoff, prior to implementing any involuntary seniority based layoffs under Article 13 of the CBA. Any seniority employees who elect to be placed on short term layoff will be selected on the basis of inverse seniority, meaning that the most senior employee will be provided the layoff opportunity first, the second most senior employee next, and so on, following the seniority list. Those employees who volunteer for the inverse seniority layoff will be committed to accepting the temporary layoff for full duration of the short term layoff announced by the Company. Should the temporary layoff extend beyond three (3) weeks in duration, seniority employees who first elected an inverse seniority layoff will have the option of either exercising their seniority rights for the purposes of being recalled to active employment, or with the mutual agreement of all parties, continuing their temporary layoff for an agreed upon period of time. It is understood that the Company reserves the right to deny requests for inverse seniority layoff, where an individual’s particular skill and ability are considered necessary to operational requirements. Before any such request is denied, the Company and the Union will meet to review the circumstances of each case. The Parties agree that the Company shall bear no liability associated with inverse seniority layoffs, and that any decisions regarding the availability of Employment Insurance (EI) benefits is the exclusive responsibility of Human Resources and Services Development Canada (HRDSC).
