MIDDLE RIO GRANDE WATERSHED BASED MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM PERMIT
No full text87 pgs.The MS4 Permit was developed for MS4 operators within the Middle Rio Grande (MRG) Watershed that discharge stormwater to waters of the United States. EPA’s MS4 program addresses pollution from stormwater runoff that is conveyed by MS4s and discharged into rivers and streams. The MRG Watershed MS4 Permit provides coverage to MS4 operators located fully or partially within the Albuquerque Urbanized Area (UA) (based on the 2000 and 2010 Decennial Census). In addition, the Permit attempts to regulate stormwater discharges on a watershed basis by providing incentives for collaboration and legally-binding cooperation among the various MS4s within the Middle Rio Grande; however, the option to independently meet Permit requirements is preserved

FY99 Annual Performance Report on the FY99/2000 New Jersey Performance Partnership Agreement
No full textIn the state fiscal year 1999, New Jersey entered into its third Performance Partnership Agreement (PPA) between the NJ Department of Environmental Protection and the US Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2, under the National Environmental Performance Partnership System (NEPPS). This Agreement, covering fiscal years 1999 and 2000, is the most comprehensive PPA for New Jersey to date: the plan now addresses eight broad environmental goals and one operational goal, as well as numerous issues which span across various NJDEP/EPA programs

Data_dictionary_Willamette_wetlands_geodatabase.xls
No full textTo achieve a goal of “no net loss” of wetland functions as well as acreage, it is important to know which functions wetlands in a specific region or watershed may individually provide, at what level. Although methods exist for assessing functions of Oregon wetlands (ORWAP; Adamus et al. 2009), site visits and hours of data collection are required to apply these to any wetland. Moreover, property access restrictions prohibit their use on many wetlands. Thus, when there is a comprehensive objective to assess all mapped wetlands in a region or watershed, time and manpower constraints require that spatial data be processed automatically using GIS, even though assessments of functions using such an approach have much lower levels of certainty.
The primary object of this project was to define criteria that would allow only the use of existing spatial databases (and only those with comprehensive coverage of the ecoregion) to identify the HGM class of mapped Willamette Ecoregion wetlands, and then apply those criteria automatically and systematically to every mapped wetland in the ecoregion, resulting in an HGM label for each mapped wetland. An ancillary goal was the creation of a database that describes over 200 attributes of each mapped wetland in the Willamette ecoregion, i.e., a regional wetland “profile.
