Unified methodology for site-characterization and sampling of highway runoff

Hydrology, roadway traffic conditions, and atmospheric deposition are three essential data categories for the planning and implementation of highway-runoff monitoring and characterization programs. Causal variables pertaining to each data category could be site specific but have been shown to correlate with runoff pollutant loads. These data categories were combined to derive statistical relationships for characterization and prioritization of the respective pollutant loads at highway runoff sites. Storm runoff data of total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solid (TDS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (TP) collected from three highway sites in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, were used to illustrate the development of site-specific highway-runoff pollutant loading models. This unified methodology provides a basis for initial assessment of the pollutant-constituent loads from highway runoff using hydrologic component variables. Improved reliability is achievable when additional traffic and/or atmospheric component variables are incorporated into the basic hydrologic regression model. In addition, operational guidance is suggested for implementing highway-runoff monitoring programs that are subject to sampling and resources constraints.     

沈阳市推行大气排污许可证制度的技术路线

沈阳市推行大气排污许可证制度的技术路线是点面结合全方位控制,即对重点污染源的控制与区域性的总量控制,简要介绍了推行这一技术路线的思路和试行结果。      

制定大气污染物排放指标的技术原则与方法

实施排放大气污染物许可证制度的技术核心是确定排污指标。该文根据我国目前的环境管理状况、可利用的污染控制技术及经济水平,分别论述了以管理目标总量控制和质量目标总量控制为基础的核定排放大气污染物许可限值的技术原则与方法,文中也初步分析了几个试点城市的典型经验      

基于排污许可证执行报告的“依证指数”构建方法研究

排污许可证执行报告是评价排污单位排污许可证实施情况的重要依据。执行报告以自行监测与台账记录信息为核心,涵盖排污单位污染治理与排放全过程的众多信息,但是目前尚缺少据此对排污许可执行情况进行综合评价的方法体系。采取常见的指数化方法,基于执行报告中的自行监测和台账记录等信息,构建排污许可证执行报告报送指数(A)、合规指数(R),结合监督检查校正系数(B),最终建立依证指数(I),依此对排污单位排污许可执行情况进行综合评价。对案例甲和案例乙两家火电企业2018年、2019年依证指数进行试算,所得结果可以较为全面地反映排污单位的执行情况,证明了该方法的可行性。建议以此方法为基础,对排污单位排污许可执行情况进行综合评价,以推动排污许可制的有效执行。     

排污许可证实施的监督管理探析

按照机制设计理论,提出了排污许可证实施监督管理的发展阶段,以及政府在不同阶段的关键作用。基于排污许可证行政许可的属性,归纳了不同层级政府监督管理的框架和内容,包括监督性监测、许可证执行监督和守法系统监控。从公众参与、政府和企业信息公开两个角度,总结了排污许可证实施的社会监督管理内容。     

排污单位排污许可证申请说明示例研究

改革后排污许可制实施以来,积累了宝贵的经验和做法,也暴露出了技术层面操作的问题。文中从技术角度探讨分析排污单位的申请材料填报情况,结合有关要求创新性示范制定了“排污单位排污许可证申请说明”,以期做到排污单位“说得清”、核发单位“审得明”,提高排污许可证申请与核发效率。     

Spatial planning and changing landscapes: a failure of policy in peri-urban Victoria,Australia

Building on the scientific literature, this article first summarises the socio-environmental impacts of land-use change expected to occur in high amenity Australian peri-urban areas, involving in particular, the effects of land development on agriculture, biodiversity, landscape character, bushfire risk and social factors. Second, the current spatial planning framework and its distribution in seven municipalities in Victoria, Australia, is critically analysed, and records of approved planning permits are related to this framework to assess the challenges posed by peri-urban growth. We argue that the current planning framework supports a static approach which does not address foreseen challenges and lacks strategic power. Both the strategic framework and the development approval process lead to unanticipated, cumulative impacts and contestation. A more coordinated, less urban-centric approach to planning and the introduction of rural land-use plans would substantially address some of the issues encountered.     

基于改进JHA铜冶炼维修作业风险辨识与信息化应用

基于能量意外释放论,提出改进的JHA风险辨识方法。在按设备结构划分维修作业后,不划分作业步骤,而是根据风险来源进行辨识,实现了辨识的实用性和系统全面性。基于辨识结果,建立信息化维修作业风险信息数据库,并作为《检修项目指令书》安全措施的信息支撑。实践表明,改进的JHA辨识方法是有效的,信息化应用改变了经验式的《检修项目指令书》,提高了风险管控的有效性。     

基于“一证式”排污许可的点源环境管理制度整合研究

排污许可证制度作为污染源管理的一项基本制度,经过多年的探索实践,逐渐向一证管理的方向发展。以排污许可证制度为核心,统筹整合各项点源环境管理制度,可以实现对点源全周期的高效管理,对提升点源环境管理综合效能十分有效,也是当前排污许可证制度改革的重要内容。本文在对现有各项点源环境管理制度的执行局限进行详细分析的基础上,提出各项点源环境管理制度与基于"一证式"管理的排污许可证制度的衔接和整合方式,将排污许可证制度贯穿整个项目筹建期、建设及试运营期、正式运营期和停产修复期,把现有各项点源环境管理制度中对排污单位影响环境的开发、建设、经营等活动的管理要求通过排污许可证集中体现,强化排污单位持证排污、按证排污的法律要求,有效解决现有的其他点源环境管理制度仅作用于排污单位生存周期某一阶段的应用局限,全面改变现有点源环境管理制度各自为营的分散模式,重新构建了符合新时期环境保护工作需求的高效化、精细化点源环境管理制度体系。     

A decision tree for Coastal Management permit guidelines

The Louisiana Coastal Management Division (CMD) uses over 90 guidelines for permitting construction activities in the coastal zone. The use of the guidelines by, the CMD staff is not always systematically applied to permit applications. A set of guideline decision trees was, therefore, developed for the permit review process using a structural modeling technique. A decision tree provides the framework for optimizing the decision process. The order in which decisions are made contributes to the efficiency and uniformity of the process. The result provides a more timely and consistent review of most permit applications regarding mining, hazardous wastes, levees, and zoning.
