Technology of Water Pollution Continuous Monitoring in JAPAN Overview of Water Pollution Monitoring Conducted by Local Governments in Japan 1. Purpose and Outline of Water Pollution Continuous Monitoring 1.1 Public Water Areas (Rivers, Coastal Waters) (1) Purpose The article 15 of the Water Pollution Control Law, enacted in 1970, states that the governor of each prefecture must continuously monitor pollution in public water areas and underground water. The obligation of Osaka Prefecture's governor is specifically defined by the Ordinance Concerning Preservation of the Living Environment in Osaka Prefecture, enacted in 1994, which states that the governor has to continuously monitor water pollution in public water areas (article 67). The Ordinance also states that the governor has to continuously monitor water pollution in underground water (article 81). Based on the law, Osaka Prefectural Government prepares its Measurement Plan for Public Water Areas and Underground Water Quality every year, and monitors water pollution under this plan. (2) Measurement plan Osaka Prefectural Government monitors water pollution based on the Measurement Plan it prepares each year. The Measurement Plan is determined by proposals under the Environmental Council of Osaka Prefectural Government, includes the following:

Bouton For the Poughkeepsie Journal Lee Ferris /Poughkeepsie Journal The swollen Hudson River covers the patio area of Mariners on the Hudson in Highland in December. At the water's highest level, it made its way into the restaurant's dining room. By Roger Witherspoon The Journal News In late November 1950, a storm billed as the storm of the century lashed the East Coast with 108-mile-an-hour winds, torrential rains, heavy snow and 10-foot storm surges, leaving more than 225 people dead along the Atlantic seaboard. La Guardia Airport, only six feet above sea level, was under water, as were Rye Beach, Playland, Mamaroneck's Harbor Island, the Echo Bay area in New Rochelle and coastal regions all along Long Island Sound. The storm was considered noteworthy because of its strength and rarity only two such storms hit New England in the past century. But scientists and environmental officials fear rising global temperatures, which are raising sea levels, may make such destruction far more common.

Project Summary Duwamish River Estuary Intertidal Wetlands 1. Project Identification Name Duwamish River Estuary Intertidal Wetlands Region Northwest State Washington Location Duwamish Waterway, Seattle WA Date of this update 2. Problem(s) addressed (e.g. habitat degradation, species of fish (juvenile salmon, etc. (use categories from Lessons Learned Report) Habitat Degradation 3. Project Description (Please include qualitative information, e.g. acres of habitat restored, miles of steam reopened to migration, and legislative authorization, e.g. WRDA, ISTEA, CWA/NEP, CZMA, etc.) Local geologic conditions in the Pacific Northwest have limited the extent of broad, flat coastal areas considered essential for modern human development. This topography has directly influenced the location and manner in which commercial development in the areas surrounding Seattle, Washington's Puget Sound has evolved, thereby placing significant development pressures on the coastal wetlands and other coastal habitats of the Puget Sound Estuary. This Coastal America project has remediated some of the impacts of historical industrialization with enhanced and restored environmental features. Three sites along the Duwamish River were identified for initial restoration; the Turning Basin, the General Services Administration (GSA) site, and Terminal 105. These three areas were chosen based on their availability and suitability for restoration and their potential to show marked improvements in critical habitats with restricted funding. Each project had three basic phases: first, the removal of debris; next, the regrading of the shoreline and bottom sediments to restore appropriate intertidal elevations, and; finally, the reestablishment of a riparian buffer.

Changes in Saltmarsh Areas What are Salt Marshes? A coastal saltmarsh is community of plants and animals that grow along the upper-intertidal zone of coastal waterways. Salt marshes can be found in association with all the major subclasses of coastal wetland systems above mean high water spring tide level in Australia including: tide-dominated deltas, tide-dominated estuaries tidal creeks wave-dominated deltas ... wave-dominated estuaries and strandplains [7]. However, they are relatively more common in tide-dominated waterways and in wave-dominated delta's [7]. Salt marshes are habitats for communities of salt-tolerant vegetation (halophytes including: grasses, reeds, sedges and shrubs) and associated animals. The diversity of saltmarsh plant species increases with increasing latitude whereas the diversity of mangroves is highest in the lower latitudes of the tropics. When salt marshes and mangroves coexist, salt marshes are typically found at slightly higher elevations than the mangroves, which are closer to the tidal flooding source. When

Home Country Analysis Briefs Egypt: Environmental Issues PDF version PDB version August 2003 Egypt: Environmental Issues Introduction Egypt is 97% desert and is therefore dependent on the Nile River for its existence. Only 5% of the land area in Egypt is actually occupied and less than 4% of the land is suitable for agriculture. Since such a small percentage of land is habitable, population densities in some areas along the Nile River are greater than 1,000 people per square kilometer. The Nile River is the lifeblood of Egypt. The river is the main source of freshwater for household use and irrigation, a source of power from the hydroelectric facility at Aswan, and a means of transportation for people and goods. Economic development has placed great stress on Egypt's environment. Population density, combined with long-postponed infrastructure investments, has severely overwhelmed water and wastewater services of urban areas creating numerous environmental hazards. Oil pollution and careless anchoring of boats have damaged coral reefs off the coast, as has pollution from urban and industrial sources and improper disposal of solid wastes. Rapid population growth is straining natural resources as agricultural land is being lost to urbanization, desertification, and salination. The Nile and its tributaries are being contaminated with pollutants, chemicals, and heavy metals. Although Egypt does not have an extensive history of environmental law, regulatory policy has gained momentum over the past few years. In 1994, Egypt passed Law 4 for the preservation of the environment. This law restructured the existing environmental ministry and created the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) to draft laws, create and enforce regulatory standards, establish near- and long-term plans for environmental management, coordinate local, regional and national environmental protection efforts, and regularly report on the state of Egypt's environment. The 1994 environmental protection law also established the Environmental Protection Fund, which completed its pilot year in 2000/20001. The fund dispersed five grants of more than $50,000 each to projects focusing on solid waste management.

A: A Local Waterfront Revitalization Program is a locally prepared, comprehensive land and water use program for a community's natural, public, working waterfront, and developed coastal area. It provides a comprehensive structure within which critical coastal issues can be addressed. Q: What are the benefits of preparing a LWRP? A: Benefits to a community preparing a LWRP include clear direction, technical assistance, State and federal consistency, and financial assistance, including State and Federal Grants. It can significantly increase a community's ability to attract private and public resources to advance the community's vision that will take best advantage and respect the unique cultural and natural characteristics of its waterfront. Q: How would my community go about preparing a LWRP? A: LWRPs are prepared in partnership with the Department of State, often by consultants working for the community and overseen by a local waterfront advisory committee. A guidebook on LWRP preparation is available on this web site.

Search: DEP Home About DEP Programs Contact ... Site Map Florida Geological Survey -Coastal Research Program Florida has more than 1260 miles of coastline-more than any other state in the continental United States. This coastline includes world famous beaches as well as 25 percent of the country’s environmentally sensitive wetlands, all of which represents a major economic draw for the state’s tourist industry attracting 35.31 billion dollars in 1999 . Annually, hurricanes and strong winter storms cause substantial erosion to Florida’s coastline resulting in follow up beach restoration efforts. To address these concerns, the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) established the Coastal Research Program (CRP) in 1991 to locate new offshore beach sand sources, evaluate the response of coastal wetlands to sea level changes as well as locate and evaluate offshore springs as a potential source of potable water. The CRP is partially funded through cooperative agreements with various federal agencies including the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the United States Department of the Interior Minerals Management Service (MMS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Resources The Florida Geological Survey is located in the Gunter Building on the campus of Florida State University (FSU). The FGS has 42 staff members including multi- disciplined professional geologists. Research facilities at the FGS include a geological research library, a sample repository, and laboratories. The library contains an extensive collection of state and federal publications, periodicals, and references. The repository holds cores and well cutting samples from more than 17,000 wells (both onshore and offshore).

[Text Version] Coastal Management Program Contact: Cathie Cunningham Ballard Agency: Environmental Quality The Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), originally passed in 1972, enables coastal states, including Great Lakes states, to develop a coastal management program to improve protection of sensitive shoreline resources, to identify coastal areas appropriate for development, to designate areas hazardous to development and to improve public access to the coastline. In addition, approximately one third of the grant is passed through each year to local communities and non-profit organizations located on the Great Lakes shoreline for a variety of projects. All of the approximately 300 shoreline communities that are located within the coastal boundary are eligible to participate in the program. Michigan's coastal zone boundary generally extends a minimum of 1,000 feet inland from the Ordinary High Water Mark of the Great Lakes and connecting channels, or further to include coastal lakes, river mouths and bays, floodplains, coastal wetlands, designated sand dune areas, public parks, recreation and natural areas and urban areas. Each year, ESSD sends a notice to each coastal community inviting them to apply for grants. An estimated 40 projects are approved for funding each year, ranging up to $50,000 of federal funding.
