Summary of Project. Developer will Develop the Quarry as generally described in this Section 1.1 and in Section 6, and as further set forth in Exhibit D hereto, Reclaim the Quarry as generally described in Section 6.7, and as further set forth in the Amended Reclamation Plan, and then provide for end uses and a conveyance of title to a portion of the Quarry to the City as described in Section 5.8. The Quarry is currently being mined and reclaimed concurrently on 20 contiguous land parcels totaling approximately 186 acres, although not all parcels are currently being mined. Existing operations are conducted pursuant to Existing Entitlements, including but not limited to a 1965 Conditional Use Permit, a 1994 Unclassified Use Permit (UUP No. 1994-01), and two Existing Reclamation Plans corresponding to the aforementioned permits. Under the Project, which will give Developer the right to Develop the Quarry, the City has reviewed and processed Developer’s application for a Conditional Use Permit No. 16-8007 (“CUP”) to expand the Mining Area at the Quarry to encompass an additional six (6) parcels totaling roughly twenty-three (23) acres, which are lands currently owned by the Xxxxxx Corporation (“Xxxxxx Parcels”), as well as paper streets within the Quarry’s boundaries. The CUP will also allow the construction and 24-hour operation of a new ready-mixed concrete plant (“RMC Plant”) and associated maintenance facility to be located within the southern expansion area of the South Pit, or at another location mutually agreeable to the Parties. The Project also includes the review and processing by the City of an application by Xxxxxxxxx’x for a General Plan amendment (General Plan Amendment No. 17-2502) and change under the Zoning Code (Zone Change 17-3502) (collectively “General Plan Amendment/Zoning Code Change”) to change the applicable designation from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Industrial-Mineral Resources (I-MR) for the 17 acre unpermitted mining area of the West Pit, to conform the zoning of this area outside the boundaries of the Quarry’s vested rights in which mining has occurred and been completed. Further, the following paper streets within the CUP boundary have been or will be considered for street vacation: Summit Drive, Repplier Road, Xxxxxx Street, Xxxxxxxx Street, Xxxxxxxx Street, and Hathaway Street. The Project also includes the preparation of a new Amended Reclamation Plan (Reclamation Plan Amendment 17-9504) (“Amended Reclamation Plan”). Together these new ent...
Summary of Project. Georgia has industrial, infrastructure, information technology, and transport related economic growth that requires well-educated graduates from STEM degree programs. While access to higher education is widespread, institutions in Georgia with STEM programs are not historically well-equipped to provide the skilled graduates needed by industry. In particular, there are two factors impeding the establishment of quality STEM programs in Georgia: (1) outdated knowledge and approach of faculty educated largely under the Soviet system; and (2) the substantial cost in facilities and equipment necessary to establish a modern STEM program. In order to achieve the delivery of high-quality STEM degree programs to boost productivity and growth and increase employment opportunities, the STEM Higher Education Project plans to attract international university partner(s) to support the Government’s effort to modernize STEM education. The objectives of this Project will be to build capacity in Georgian public universities and to offer international standard STEM degrees and/or Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (“ABET”) accreditation. International university partner(s) will also bring the needed experience to promote equitable participation for women and minorities in STEM programs.
Summary of Project. In the past, in an effort to supply the highest possible quality of water to its citizens, Columbus made certain changes to the method it uses to treat drinking water. Inadvertently, the treatment change caused an increase in the level of lead in the drinking water. Under the Federal and State drinking water regulations, if the lead levels rise above the limit established by US EPA and OEPA, the City must begin sampling lead service lines (LSLs) immediately and replacing those lines that contribute high levels of lead. This project tests a potentially more effective means of addressing health concerns from lead through a program run by the Columbus Health Department and the Columbus Department of Trade and Development, the Lead Safe Columbus Program (LSCP), and will, in addition, involve closer coordination on drinking water treatment issues. Through this project, the US EPA will suspend the LSL sampling and replacement provisions for up to three years beginning if and when the City exceeds the lead limit, provided this occurs within six years of making a treatment change. In exchange for this regulatory flexibility, the Columbus Division of Water will, subject to annual City Council and City Auditor approval, contribute $300,000 a year for 15 years, beginning January 1, 2001, to the LSCP. The LSCP provides free blood testing, public education, medical intervention for lead-poisoned children, and grants and loans for lead abatement to residents of Columbus in high-risk areas. The LSCP targets an area consisting of twenty-five high-risk census tracts within ten zip codes in older, predominantly low-income, minority neighborhoods in Columbus, where 84% of all elevated blood lead levels in the City were found.
Summary of Project. The Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) provided a comprehensive application that supports strengthening and enhancing the capabilities of state and local public health and health care systems to respond effectively to evolving threats and other emergencies. KDPH is the lead agency for ESF-8, Public Health and Medical Services for KY. The KY Board of Emergency Medical Services and KYs Community Crisis Response Board also serves as ESF-8 agencies and aid KDPH in preparedness efforts. KDPH is requesting $8,874,423 towards all six domain areas which includes seven BP-1 priorities. Some of the key priorities include conducting a jurisdictional risk assessment to identify operational gaps, implement a marketing and training plan to expand use of KY’s Patient Tracking System, participate in MCMORR self- assessment, and coordinate lab tests with healthcare providers to confirm reportable disease diagnosis and outbreaks. KY links their work plan domain areas well with their BP-1 budget. PHEP priority domain areas which include Community Resilience: $ 806,119; Medical Countermeasures and Mitigation: $529,219; and Bio- surveillance: $750,484 where additional efforts are needed to build capacity statewide. Kentucky doesn’t have federally recognized tribes in their state, thus no tribal input letter was provided. KDPH did have four Technical Assistance requests in the program requirements, PHEP program questions section. KDPH also had a Technical Assistance request in Domain 5 Surge Management for best practice states or local level Family Reunification plans. The PHEP Specialist and/or MCM specialist will follow up with the awardee to ensure that all PHEP TA Needs are addressed in the On-Trac system accordingly. Overall, KDPH presents a realistic and achievable approach in accomplishing their outcomes, strategies and activities; they also have over 46% of their budget going to local health departments.
Summary of Project. Throughout the 5-year grant period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022, KDPH will coordinate with Kentucky’s 61 LHDs, 13 Regional Healthcare Coalitions (HCC), 120 county emergency management agencies, and other local, state, and federal ESF-8 partnering agencies to maintain public health and healthcare systems preparedness. In addition, KDPH will evaluate strategies and work with HCCs to increase autonomy and sustainability for all HCCs. HPP-PHEP outcomes will be achieved from domain activities and outputs included in the proposed work plans that incorporate the strategies identified in the HPP- PHEP Logic Model. By the end of the project period, KDPH, through coordination with local, state, and federal ESF-8 partnering agencies, will achieve the following outcomes to enhance Kentucky’s Hospital Preparedness Program and sustain Regional HCCs: Increase HCC sustainability through a modified strategic plan that includes methodologies for HCCs to become autonomous entities. Increase planning, training and exercise activities to prepare for all-hazards events; Decrease risks to vulnerable populations by providing emergency preparedness training and education. Increase the capability to conduct damage assessments and rapidly share essential elements of information (EEI). Increase the capability to quickly identify and investigate incidents that will impact the public health and healthcare community. Decrease levels of exposure to disease and hazards to reduce illnesses, injuries and fatalities. Increase the capability to implement intervention and control measures at the earliest possible moment. Enhance the capability to quickly provide situational awareness and risk information. Develop and implement continuity of operation plans to maintain continuity of healthcare for surge events during an emergency or incident. Provide timely coordination and support for response and recovery activities in coordination with ESF-8 partnering agencies. Ensure ESF-8 agencies participate in a continuous and systematic learning and improvement cycle. Enhance the inventory and maintenance of equipment and supplies that is maintained by local and state agencies. Decrease stocks of expired supplies and surplus non-functioning/outdated equipment. Although the Awardee Level Direct Cost is too high (26.2%), KDPH has provided a support letter from the hospital association, a 5-year strategy, and work plan activities to address the ALDC. KDPH provided a supp...
Summary of Project. The informatics team tasked with architecture, development, and implementation of the CHAMPS mortality surveillance protocol began requirements analysis leveraging the Public Health Informatics Institute’s Collaborative Requirements Development Methodology (CRDM). The CHAMPS mortality surveillance protocol was a complex endeavor seeking to bring together case-level demographic information, verbal autopsy data, clinical record abstraction data, maternal clinical abstraction data, autopsy procedure and specimen collection data, laboratory testing results, images, documents, and both local and centralized histopathology image and diagnostic data for under-five childhood deaths from multiple low-resource setting with seven sites in Africa and Asia. Application of the CRDM yielded a library of intricate workflows that collectively obfuscated the broader technical objectives of the surveillance project and were an impediment to the alignment of stakeholders on the full scope of the project (i.e., “could not see the forest for the trees”). The project described herein was to create a new format of technical documentation that would honor and include the fundamental business process work while simultaneously depicting the full scope surveillance activities, interconnections, dependencies, and general flow of data/information for each case from discovery to final cause of death determination.
