Application of the ERICA Integrated Approach to the Drigg coastal sand dunes
No full textThe EC-funded project ‘Environmental Risks from Ionising Contaminants: Assessment and Management’ (ERICA) developed an ‘Integrated Approach’ for assessing the impact of ionising radiation on ecosystems. This paper presents the application of the ERICA Integrated Approach, supported by a software programme (the ERICA Tool) and guidance documentation, to an assessment of the Drigg coastal sand dunes (Cumbria, UK). Targeted sampling provided site-specific data for sand dune biota, including amphibians and reptiles. Radionuclides reported included 90Sr, 99Tc, 137Cs, 238Pu, 239+240Pu and 241Am. Site-specific data were compared to predictions derived using the ERICA Tool. Some under- and over-predictions of biota activity concentrations were identified but can be explained by the specific ecological characteristics and contamination mechanism of the dunes. Overall, the results indicated no significant impact of ionising radiation on the sand dune biota and the Integrated Approach was found to be a flexible and effective means of conducting a radiation impact assessment

Dilapidated Buildings in Appalachia
No full textAllison Eckman, AmeriCorps VISTA, and Erica Hetzel, Office Manager, of the Land Use & Sustainable Development Law Clinic at the West Virginia University College of Law propose to present on and hold a Q&A session on tools that communities can use to address dilapidated buildings in Appalachia. As many as 1 in 16 properties in West Virginia are vacant or abandoned. Dilapidated properties throughout Appalachia deter economic development, increase crime, and create safety hazards. At the same time, these properties can represent an opportunity for community revitalization. We will examine the prevalence of dilapidated buildings throughout Appalachia and address the desire that many communities have to tackle neglected properties, using common themes that have proved effective in advancing certain strategies, such as being proactive, collaborating and forming partnerships, regionalism, and holistic, community-based approaches. We will describe tools that have proven to be useful in West Virginia, encourage discussion on whether similar tools are effectively being utilized in other Appalachian states or could be utilized, and present success stories from various communities in West Virginia. While we recognize that there is no “one size fits all” approach to remedy the issue of dilapidated properties, addressing this challenge across Appalachia is a step towards regional economic development and community revitalization
