Wvsa Case Study

When work began to improve the Chesapeake Bay they needed to find the culprits of the bad water quality then get rid of them.

In 1960, Lake Erie was very polluted A lot of the cities such as Toledo, Sandusky, and Port Clinton’s waste was dumped into Lake Erie. Many of the factories that were surrounding the lake erie would dump their waste into the river, which was the cause of a lot of the pollution. Pesticides and chemicals from nearby farms washed off into the river whenever it rained, so the chemicals started to pollute the river. The cities that surround the near by river or lake paid a huge amount of money to get new sewer systems to help keep the water clean. This major source of freshwater is critical to the survival of the entire ecosystem and must be protected at all costs.

Many of these impervious surfaces have drainage systems that run directly into the watershed. As shown above in the center picture, there is direct drainage from the street to the watershed with no type of filtration, which in return has cause the glistening polluted puddle in front of the drainage pipe.

Due to the large bodies of water in the county, there is a high risk for drowning. Water quality pollutants in the county come from fertilizers, bacteria from animal feces, sediment from land that are being cleared and stream channel erosion. When the rain falls into farms, parking lots, construction sites, and lawns the water collects pollutants and they get carried to the stream and then eventually end up in the Chesapeake Bay. In 2010 10 out of 15 streams sampled were rated far to poor, E-Coli, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, Chlorophyll-A and Polychlorinated Biphenyls were noted in the samples (2013 Natural Resource Indicator Report, 2014). C & R Battery Company Inc. and the Defense General Supply Center DLA were found on the national priority list for the most hazardous waste sites identified by the Environment Protection Agency because it is a risk to human and/or the environment (Virginia Superfund Sites, 2013).

Although drinking water is not yet known to have been affected, the groundwater was contaminated with volatile organic compounds and heavy metals (5). Both of these types of contaminants have been linked with one or several of the following: cancer, liver, kidney, and nervous system problems (4). In July 1979, the State Court required that all material be removed from the site by July 1980 (5). The state has spent over $300,000 cleaning this site (5). According to EPA standards, this site is in the "construction completed" stage of clean up. This does not mean, however that actual cleanup is complete because groundwater may need to be treated more than 30 years before contaminants are at accepted levels (5).

There are two kinds of aspects in this case, one is the current cleaning process and the other is the new cleaning process.

The consequences of undiagnosed and untreated OSA are medically serious and economically costly. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered the gold standard of treatment for OSA along with lifestyle modifications. With CPAP use, patients can reduce their healthcare utilization and save money by reducing the impact of OSA symptoms, comorbidities, and motor vehicle accidents. Direct costs associated with comorbidities include increased medical expenses, emergency room visits, hospital inpatient visits, medication use, and mortality rates (American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2016).

As the KSU OVS has grown, the number of clients we serve and the victimization type we respond to has grown. In 2016, our client base grew by 30%, with our staff concentrated on providing services to victims of the violent crimes of sexual assault, domestic and interpersonal violence, and stalking. In 2017, we were awarded VOCA funding which enabled KSU OVS to provide direct services and advocacy to all types of victimization in which we were understaffed to offer adequate assistance prior to the VOCA funding, namely victims of larceny, fraud, identity theft crimes, and other forms of property related crimes. These additional services expanded our client list by 137%, with most of these clients experiencing some form

Today the job is still being done but the Love Canal isn’t the only place facing these problems. Many homes are located near improperly maintained chemical wastelands. The government is searching to find these placed and clean them out.

The victory in Colorado directed NAWSA to plan campaigns around the United States, where recurring disapproval ascended against the suffragists. Catt’s Organizational Committee made more money than the association itself during 1897, where one thousand meetings took place in the promotion of suffrage organizations and politicians. Her work on the Organization Committee generated her to be most qualified candidate in the replacement of Susan B. Anthony as president of NAWSA. In 1900, Anthony resigned her position in presidency and Catt was elected for the role.
