“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
The actual development has to go through the planning department with a site plan. Stakeholders such as LMR are the sunshine and water for the seed of redevelopment, Council member Frank McVey said.“Businesses come and go. Stakeholders stay,” he said Fire hydrant use affecting water color Phillipsburg’s water supplier said that brown water was likely caused by unauthorized fire hydrant use. Though discolored, the water is safe, said Joseph Mingle of Aqua Water.Contractors or pool service companies tap into fire hydrants on the job, which stirs up mineral sediment in the water main, Mingle said.Mingle recommended that town residents run cold water through one faucet for 10-15 minutes to flush sediment out. Then they should call in to Aqua’s call center at 877-987-2782 to file a report. (endment allows waste containers, vehicles in P'burg redevelopment zone)
Alloway said in a news release. “This solution is the result of a great deal of work between my staff and all of the stakeholders in this issue, and I am confident that this solution will meet the needs of consumers and the environment for the foreseeable future.”Senate Bill 800 would create a network of e-waste recycling centers that consumers could use without having to pay a disposal fee.The bill funds the recycling program by imposing a 0.5 percent tax on the purchase of electronics.The tax would be imposed by the seller on the full retail purchase price, excluding sales tax, according to the bill.“The current system, which calculates a manufacture’s cost of recycling on the weight of the devices sold in the previous year, does not effectively address technological advances, which results in modern, lighter devices being sold, while bulkier, outdated electronics are being recycled,” Alloway wrote in a co-sponsorship letter. “Because of this flaw in the current system, many citizens do not have access to facilities to adequately recycle their devices and often times are required to pay a fee.”...

The process, says John Carlton, project manager and senior vice president of GBB, was long but the worth the effort. The group evaluated stakeholder surveys taken by industry, university and environmental groups online to get input and ideas for the future of solid waste in Fort Worth.“Now the hard work begins,” says Carlton, as the implementation phase of the plan gets under way.According to Smouse, there are five key aspects of the plan: preservation of the Southeast Landfill, working with institutional and commercial waste generators, motivating the community to rethink waste and environmental stewardship, improving residential services and policy setting.The landfill, says Smouse, is a critical asset to both the city and the community, but it has an expected lifespan of 19 to 33 years. The plan provides for diversion and recycling strategies to increase the life of the landfill for up to 50 or 60 years.Currently, the city has a 25 percent diversion rate. The city will increase the goal incrementally over time to 30 percent for residential waste only by 2021, 40 percent for the entire waste stream by 2023, 50 percent by 2030 and 60 percent by 2037. The city may also look at evaluating an 80 percent goal by 2045.The plan calls for engaging the commercial segment in expanding and improving its environmental footprint. The goal is to get the community to rethink waste and environmental stewardship initiatives and to look at the bigger picture to include recycling, waste minimization, charity donations and material reuse, says Smouse.To help make this happen, the city will form a materials management program to reach out to the community. The program will create three planner positions to interact with businesses, residents, schools and institutions to identify areas for improvement. The plan will also create a fourth position for the marketing and analytical side, says Smouse. That person will be responsible for creating and measuring the effectiveness of campaigns and analyzing data to determine which industries are succeeding.While the city has award-winning programs for its residential waste service, the city will determine where improvements can be made by expanding those programs or implementing new ones, such as a pilot food waste program.Finally, the city will continue engaging in dialogue with all stakeholders, including commercial, residential and governmental, as it looks toward adjusting solid waste policy.It was with help from all the stakeholders in developing the plan that led to unanimous approval last month by City Council, says Smouse, which is why the plan calls for ongoing dialogue.“I can’t remember a time that such a comprehensive plan or a solid waste-based plan went before an elected body and had complete support of the community," states Smouse. "I think that speaks volumes for how well the consultant, the staff and the community worked together. It was great partnership across the community.”... (waste360)
Locke Burt told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Even if a claim is fairly minor — a broken window, for instance — and won't exceed a policyholder's annual hurricane deductible, you should still report that damage, Burt said. Why? Because we're not to the end of the hurricane season yet. If there's another hurricane this year, then together those claims might top your deductible and then you could be reimbursed.I probably need a lawyer to deal with all the stuff that happened to me, but there's no way I can afford one. Am I out of luck?No. A partnership among the Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division, the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency has set up a hotline you can call to reach lawyers who can offer assistance with FEMA, insurance claims, dealing with contractors, replacing legal documents destroyed in the storm and other issues. Call them at 1-866-550-2929. Leave them a message and they are supposed to return calls within two business days.This is a developing story.
