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 most important gynecologic manifestations of HIV disease are invasive cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. Routine cervical cancer screening is the key to early detection and management of disease. It has been shown that HIV positive women often fail to receive this recommended screening18-21. The women enrolled in Georgia’s West Central Health District (WCHD) Xxxx Xxxxx Program (RWP) have historically failed to meet the HIV/AIDS Bureau’s (HAB) cervical cancer screening performance measure, so the potential benefits of routine screening are not being fully realized in this group. Identification of effective intervention strategies could help reduce barriers to early detection of invasive cervical cancer and its precursor lesions among this high risk population. Xxxxxxxx et al40 conducted a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effect of a telephone support intervention to increase cancer screening rates among minority and low income women. This telephone support intervention was adapted for use in the WCHD’s RWP. The primary questions addressed were (1) What impact will implementation of a telephone care management system have on client completion of annual cervical cancer screening, and (2) What barriers prevent clients from maintaining up-to-date Pap smears? Through the use of CAREWare, patient chart review, and interviews with patients in person and/or via the telephone, women who were due or overdue for cervical cancer screening were identified. The HAB cervical cancer screening performance measure’s inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to determine eligible participants for the project. Those women meeting inclusion criteria received a series of telephone support calls from a trained Prevention Care Manager (PCM). In addition to other tasks, the PCMs shared information about the importance of cervical cancer screening in HIV infected women and responded to each woman’s specific barrier(s) that hindered completion of screening. The intervention was carried out from September 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The p control chart was used to assess the effectiveness of this quality improvement project, and a decreasing trend in the proportion of women with delinquent Pap screenings was demonstrated during this period. At its conclusion, the proportion of women failing to meet the HAB cervical cancer screening measure was at 23%, the lowest of the entire measurement year. Follow up continued from January 1, 2013 through December 31...

Summary of Project. The purpose of this project is to improve the ability of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services’ (DHSS) Newborn Hearing Screening Program’s (MNHSP) current Early Hearing Detection and Intervention- Information System (EHDI-IS), Missouri Health Strategic Architectures and Information Cooperative (MOHSAIC), to collect complete, accurate, and valid follow-up screening, diagnostic, and intervention data in accordance with goals 2-8 of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) EHDI-IS Functional Standards. The DHSS MNHSP will use the following project period outcome as a guide: Improve the documentation of timely follow- up diagnostic testing and early intervention services, to support the early identification of D/HH infants and help address potential developmental delays. The MNHSP will partner with the Missouri Division of Administration’s Information Technology Services Division to employ activities to address the following major MNHSP EHDI-IS lapses: individual maternal demographics, receiving facility name, infant’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) status, name of rescreen provider referred to, and the reason for not receiving recommended follow-up services. To address an irregularity in the consistent reporting of follow-up rescreening and diagnostic results, the MNHSP will use interviews and trainings to determine gaps in knowledge and increase understanding among providers of follow-up audiological testing about the importance of and the requirement to report hearing evaluation results to the MNHSP. Further activities such as the use of Memorandums of Understanding will be aimed at promoting and strengthening partnerships that lead to greater collaboration around sustained documentation of rescreening, diagnostic and intervention data. Congenital hearing loss affects one to three of every 1,000 live-born infants and negatively impacts children through delays in speech, language, social, and emotional development when not detected in infancy. The number of children born in Missouri who did not pass their final hearing screening and were referred to diagnostic testing between 2012 and 2015 averages 1,298 per year. The number of infants eventually identified as deaf/hard-of-hearing (D/HH) as a result of confirmatory testing and referred to early intervention between 2012 and 2015 averages 109 per year. It is important to document the provision of timely follow-up diagnostic testing and early intervention services to support th...
