Program For A Renewed Environment At Jersey County

An issue that was present in few specific cities in Maryland have now expanded throughout the entire state. The Chesapeake Bay, a large estuary that has an extremely complex ecosystem that is vital to important habitats and food webs in this area. The Chesapeake bay is arguably one of the most productive environments in the United States. Over the years, this bay has been in a decline of wellness. Pollution, contaminants, and many other factors are destroying the overall well being of these waters, and completely messing up the important ecosystem that has been built there. Although there is an extreme amount of Marylanders fighting for the restoration of the Chesapeake, there are also who are not.

Work with the team to plan a set of activities to raise awareness about a health issue.

     Hazardous wastes are another problem for the water in our world. These wastes are toxic, reactive, corrosive or ignitable. Most problems come from humans not storing the substance properly or not disposing of it correctly. This can be easily proven in 1969, when the Cuyahoga River, in Cleveland, Ohio, caught on fire and burned for sometime. Since this happened environmentalists have taken extreme measures to reduce the amount of pollution that is coming out of the power plants that are on the river and on Lake Erie.

The Passaic and Hudson rivers are easily the top two environmental problems in New Jersey. Both have shared similar fates, being decimated by the industrial revolution, by factories dumping garbage, medical waste, even war materials during Vietnam. The pharmaceutical industry (huge in NJ). Another issue would be the huge tourist industry surrounding the New Jersey beaches. There is hardly any wildlife left down there because it’s all been urbanized and developed.

Program planning is a process to achieve a particular goal and/or mission. Program planning is an organized process through which a set of coordinated activities or interventions is developed to address and facilitate change in some or all of the identified problems. Program evaluation provides useful information for improving the programs and the service delivery systems. Program evaluation is to improve the program planning, effectiveness, design, and efficiency. The two are different processes, but ideally they hold the same goals and/or mission. The evaluation process takes place after the planning of a

issues regarding enviromental degradation and habitat endangerment. There are many issues however some of the more significant problems are erosion, longshore drift and high

The third assessment piece is entitled neighborhood and community safety. This information was obtained from local agencies. I noted the Health Department and local hospitals are very involved in providing health services, education, and discussions for the community free of charge. The air quality for Kent County is considered poor. We have had at least 7 air pollution days per year due to fine particulate matter and ozone. The water quality in the last 5 years has been excellent. 0.09% of public water supplies exceeded contamination levels during this time frame (2011, Kent County Health Department). The wild life in the area can cause a potential for disease, and the many surrounding lakes, rivers and streams can cause a potential for drowning. Due to the location of Kent County we risk potential severe weather events. The violent crime rate in the area was 0.34% significantly lower than the national average. It was also

It 's important to understand that we are all a product of our own environment and what goes into it comes out as a positive or negative result. Long Islanders have faced many problems with ground water pollution. According to http://oceanworld.tamu.edu, after doing countless geographical surveys every few decades from the 1940 's, early 1960 ', 1980 's, mid 1990 's to now, scientist have concluded that the higher levels of stress was causing species changes and a lower diversity to the environment. It was determined that the 1962 samples were heavier in delta13C suggesting that organic carbon was being oxidized at a greater rate in the 1990 's then in the 1960 's. Scientist have come to a hypothesis that the waters stress was a contributing factor to an increase in waste water effluent treated sewage which a study measured a fair amount of bacteria spores called Clostridium perfringens which was found in human excrement ("Waste Water in Long Island," n.d.). This meant that Long Island has a big sewage pollution problem. According to Suffolk County 's comprehensive water resource management plan in 2010, there have been large changes in the ground water aquifers between the years 1987 to 2005.

The overall objective to this Goal is to ensure that the public is both involved in identifying, avoiding and minimizing environmental justice concerns. In addition, another objective to this Goal is maintenance and assurance of Tribal Relations. Furthermore, another objective is to maintain a database of national and community based organizations and networks concerned with environmental justice. Moreover, this goal has U.S.D.A. performance measures and target dates in similar fashion as the other

>Among all the factors that are attributed to population health, the environment is perhaps the greatest. It is common knowledge in public health that if the physical environment is unhealthy, so is the population that live there. Even though the many of the environmental issues are being addressed by the State and County authorities, Clayton County is experiencing a slow rate of change. While the air pollution-particulate matter is declining, it is currently at 13.2, which is higher than the national average of 9.5, and the 12.8 for the state’s average.2 In addition, this county has drinking water violations and severe housing problems. As a result of these and other environmental issues, Clayton County ended up with a county ranking of 159 out of 159.1 This is not a good thing for the population of Clayton County.

The environment and the health of the surrounding population go hand in hand. The Environmental Protection Agency takes on this ever so important mission of protecting them both. The mission statement of the EPA states, “The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Small Business Programs is to support the protection of human health and the environment by advocating and advancing the business, regulatory, and environmental compliance concerns of small and socio-economically disadvantaged businesses, and minority academic institutions (US Enviromental Protection Agency, 2010).” The impact of its mission can be defined clearly as it examines the impact of contamination in the air, the water, and the land on human health.

The topic was based on " Toxic Passaic River to Get $1.38 Billion Cleanup Over 10 Years". Two weeks ago, Mach 4 2016 in Newark tons of garbage was seen along the Passaic River shore. A Environmental Protection Agency has broadcast a solution to this problem , which will dispose 3.5 million cubic yards of toxic sediment from the waterway. My overarching question : How can we protect the environment and at the same time improve people's standard of living? My guiding questions:Why are humans so careless of their environment?What are the sources and effects of water pollutants?

The implementation plan is an Environmental Health re-structuring alternative for the Tanning, Home Day Care, Food and Wastewater programs. This model will streamline these programs to increase efficiency and oversight by management and supervisory staff. A proactive management model ensures program efficiencies through setting and communicating clear expectations including performance measures, accountability, quality of inspections, customer surveys, and training designed to help inspection team members be successful in meeting the expectations. This model ensures program standardizations and efficiencies by leveraging technology in the form of cellular mobile devices that reduce burdens on agency IT infrastructure and IT staff.

One of the biggest local water issues would be pollution. It goes as far as people throwing things into local rivers, lakes, and stream, to companies leaking things into the rivers. Over the course of the semester we as a class have taken many field trips to the mississippi and have been learning about this river and all it has done for humans. In the State of the river report we learn directly about the impairment of our rivers. Whether its that the phosphates in the water are too high, or that their would be excess sediment in the water we know we haven't kept our river clean enough. During our canoe trip down the mississippi we tested the water from the confluence of the minnesota river and the mississippi. One test that was truly a test at all was seeing our classmates sink into the minnesota river while the other in the mississippi were standing just fine. We find that there was an excess of deposited silt in the minnesota river. Having excess sediment, or silt in the water can hard wildlife, and plants who need these rivers to survive. Some things we could do to prevent these things from happening would just be testing our water sources every year. Although there isn't a whole lot we can do to remove sediment, we know it can be controlled.

Water pollution is a serious problem for the environment. It should be solved on a large scale at the level of states and federal governmental levels. If the public becomes more aware of environmental problems, it can be part of the solution. For example the responsibility of the Pacific Garbage Patch is on the conscience of everyone who throws garbage in the water (Marine Insight).
