Technical expertise is provided by the following partners: Department of Agriculture, Department of EnvironmentalProtection, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Game Commission, Fish and Boat Commission, Department of Education, and the U.S.D.A. Natural Resources Conservation Service.
In my last post I discussed the Commission’s remarkably radical – and challenging – headline recommendation on mitigation, a global phaseout of fossilfuels. But no part of their mandate or report matches this description of “stuff you wish you didn’t have to think about, but realize you must” better than SRM.
We founded the Environmental Health Institute in 2007. So when this industry and its drilling took off in the late otss, you know, 2009, 2010, we were sort of in the right place at the right time. And we were charged with evaluating how environmental exposures could be affecting Geisinger's patients.
On March 9, the Department of EnvironmentalProtection announced the Green Energy Loan Fund has reached a milestone of $30 million invested in low-interest loans for high-impact energy efficiency projects on commercial properties. DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell made the announcement at an event with leaders from the Leon H.
By 2009, a study by Chinese scientists found that cadmium was going into China’s topsoil at around 0.004mg/kg per year.

Brazil’s National Policy on Climate Change ( NPCC and subsequent regulation ) was adopted in 2009 based on Brazil’s international commitments with the UNFCCC. Omissions from the Brazilian government on climate policy. OC has filed the petition to push for increased climate action in Brazil. by 2020 against a 2010 baseline.
In 2009, the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency surveyed more than 49,000 lakes across the country and found that 30 percent contained toxins produced by the blooms. Last year, the Environmental Working Group, a Washington-based research organization, counted 476 harmful blooms in 41 states, five times higher than in 2010. .
In January 2009, DEP ordered then Cabot Oil & Gas, the company that drilled in the shale gas wells, to cease all fracking operations in Susquehanna County to conduct an evaluation of its fracking operations. Pennsylvania American Water will submit an aquifer test plan to the Department of EnvironmentalProtection this spring.
