Stranica 144 - Administrator determines that such dumping will not unreasonably degrade or endanger human health, welfare, or amenities, or the marine environment, ecological systems, or economic potentialities.
Stranica 202 - General consideration and conditions 1. Possible effects on amenities (eg presence of floating or stranded material, turbidity, objectionable odour, discolouration and foaming). 2. Possible effects on marine life, fish and shellfish culture, fish stocks and fisheries, seaweed harvesting and culture.
Stranica 201 - Dispersal characteristics (eg effects of currents, tides and wind on horizontal transport and vertical mixing). 6. Water characteristics (eg temperature. pH. salinity. stratification. oxygen indices of pollution - dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) - nitrogen present in organic and mineral form including ammonia. suspended matter, other nutrients and productivity). 7. Bottom characteristics (eg topography. geochemical and geological characteristics...
Stranica 261 - ... industrial wastes that are released from the submarine outfalls, the momentum of the discharge and its initial buoyancy act together to produce turbulent mixing. Initial dilution in this case is completed when the diluting wastewater ceases to rise in the water column and first begins to spread horizontally. For shallow water submerged discharges, surface discharges, and nonbuoyant discharges, characteristic of cooling water wastes and some individual discharges, turbulent mixing results primarily...
Stranica 201 - ... amenity areas, spawning, nursery and fishing areas and exploitable resources). 2. Rate of disposal per specific period (eg quantity per day, per week, per month). 3. Methods of packaging and containment, if any. 4. Initial dilution achieved by proposed method of release. 5. Dispersal characteristics (eg effects of currents, tides and wind on horizontal transport and vertical mixing). 6. Water characteristics (eg temperature, pH...
Stranica 171 - Federal law defines sewage sludge as "...any solid, semi-solid or liquid waste generated by a municipal wastewater treatment plant the ocean dumping of which may unreasonably degrade or endanger human health, welfare, amenities or the marine environment, ecological systems, or economic potentialities.
Stranica 72 - Program is headed, how it intends to get there, and what the final "product" is anticipated to be. The stated mission is straightforward: "the establishment of a system of national marine sanctuaries based on the identification, designation, and comprehensive management of special marine areas for the long-term benefit and enjoyment of the public."12 An entirely new nomination/designation process has been initiated, coupled with specific site identification and evaluation criteria.
Stranica 99 - ... to facilitate to the extent compatible with the primary objective of resource protection, all public and private uses of the resources of these marine areas not prohibited pursuant to other authorities; 6.
